Update to 27.2.1 causing WiFi issues.

Hello,


I updated from MacOS 27.2 to 27.2.1 (MacBook Air M3 16GB) and started experiencing issues with WiFi. Specifically, latency increased and I saw significant packet loss using ping. Many websites didn't load at all in Safari and the Speedtest app could not connect to a server. I also got several alerts about Private Browsing being disabled.


I rebooted and flushed DNS caches and nothing changed.


I was able to use my phone as a hotspot and that performed well. Now I am on a wired Ethernet connection and that works fine, too.


Any help would be appreciated.
