This may be the final excuse i need to ditch VM wifi
Having a strange problem on my Pi400
after it sucsesfully authenticates on the Wifi it almost always fails to
get a valid IP address & adopts a 169.254.x.x address.

I am not using my routers DHCP server but have dnsmasq on another server because I hve equipment that needs additional options.
The problem is considerable less if i use the guest network (which does
get dhcp from the router) but even that fails to renew correctly &
reverts to a 169.254.x.x address. it also fails to reconnect correctly
after a reboot needit a number of disconnects
The same SD card works without issue in a Pi4B
I do suspect the Virmin Media stupid humb 3 may be playing some part as connecting to my mobile phane as a hot spot has sofar failed to exhibit
these issues.
This may be the final excuse i need to ditch VM wifi but would like to
know that what ever i buy will not have the same problem

If you manually assign an IP addr on the Pi, how reliable is a ping to a wired device on your LAN? much packet loss?
After posting on the raspberrypi.org forum it seems I am not the only one with this problem when using a Virgin Media Superhub 3
