You might be right that there is nothing wrong with the Lite version of the OS. On the other hand, the full distribution could have a service that as a side effect keeps WiFi alive for some access points.People?? More a robot and/or a troll (again) this case, wasting your/our time.Wow. That's spooky.I suspect there may be an issue with the Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) image. I have a Zero W v1.1 that was functioning stably with a recent install of the full 32-bit image. I tried today to swap over to a fresh Lite install but had constant issues with network connectivity, despite several re-flashes. I just re-flashed with the full 32-bit image and now it's working properly again.
People usually recommend Lite for a Pi Zero but trying the full image sounds like a good test.
