I don't have the beta, the update was offered to me on Sept 8. Build is
NRD90M. I wish I hadn't updated my Nexus 5X to Nougat, because now I'm
experiencing WiFi problems. All wireless networks are gone (as in not
visible) or disappear and WiFi keeps on searching for wireless networks
which of course drains the battery. After an hour or so a connection is
made, but when I switch WiFi off and on, the problem is back.

There are also many complaints about no WiFi at all, no automatic
connections, loosing connections or not being able to connect to 5GHz
networks.

Google advises to reset network settings (which worked partially for me)
or even reset to factory settings. People are reluctant to do that, plus
several users state this doesn't solve their problem.

Lots of topics on problems with WiFi on productforums.google.com:

- Wifi / Bluetooth issues since installing Android 7.0 Nougat on Nexus
6P
- After Nougat Update Wifi disabled
- Nexus 5x Android 7 wifi drops consistently
- After updating my Nexus 5X device to Android 7 WiFi has stopped
working ...

An official (?) "issue" is opened and Google is aware of the problem.

<https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=221056>

However, the issue was posted on Aug 26 and after more than 2 weeks,
Google still hasn't solved this problem.

A Project Member posted a reaction on Sept 8:

| We have passed this defect on to the development team and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.

Since then, nothing from Google... :-\
