Printer Connects and then Disconects from WiFi during Pairing

After using it for ~2 months, yesterday I switched my P1S into “LAN Only Mode” expecting that I would lose access to some features but that I would still be able to connect to it over LAN (hence “LAN only”). Unfortunately, not only did the printer un-bind from my account, but it also disconnected from my wifi, and corrupted the SD card.

EDIT:

So during the pairing process, the printer displays that it is connected to the correct network, but that its ip is 0.0.0.0, and then once the app displays the "WIFI not found " error, the screen reverts to the unpaird wifi page displaying the QR code.

Has anyone encountered this before?

I turned off LAN-only mode and performed a factory reset, but am having trouble rebinding my printer to my account.

I am at a university, and the network intended for non-laptop/phone devices is an unsecured (passwordless) network. This is an issue because in the Bambu handy app (IOS), you are unable to move past the network selection screen until inputting a password for the desired network, however, the network i am trying to connect to has no password. If I try inputting a password i get a “wifi not found” error.

Obviously, there is some solution to this issue because I had the printer working before and printed over 100 files over this network, but I have forgotten what I did to get around this issue initially.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
