Arduino UNO WiFi Rev2 Does Not Recognize Any Networks

Hello, the WiFi component of my Arduino UNO WiFi Rev2 does not recognize any WiFi networks. This appears to be the same problem as https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=585732.0 but that thread does not have a resolution.

I tried using both the “ConnectWithWPA” and the “ScanNetworksAdvanced” examples on https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiNINA with no luck.

I opened an unsecured guest network on my router to see if that could be found, to no avail.

Each time the “ScanNetworksAdvanced” code is uploaded (or the board is reset), it responds with:

==================================

Scanning available networks…

** Scan Networks **

number of available networks: 0

Scanning available networks…

** Scan Networks **

Couldn’t get a WiFi connection

==================================

When I try to run the “ConnectWithWPA” sketch, the WiFi.begin(…) method continuously responds with WL_CONNECT_FAILED.

I am concerned my card is defective.
