This update seems to have killed Wifi and bluetooth in my device.

I don't know exactly when the update happened, but sometime in December I noticed my page locations weren't syncing between my phone app and my Kindle. Then I found out wifi on the Kindle isn't connecting and I can't even find networks. Tried all the official troubleshooting and nothing works. Reseted the device and tried to setup through bluetooth and the phone app, but that doesn't work either. I can still use it if I transfer books through USB, but internet is dead for the device. Just installed 5.16.6 through USB hoping it would fix something, but no deal.
Anyone seen any issues like this?
It's a standard Kindle 11th Gen.
