I accidentally turned the wifi off during a device doctor run and now I can’t manage to get it back on. I have tried the route of going through the particle device doctor again to switch it back but I get this (despite numerous uninstalls and reinstalls)

The best I get is flashing green.

`particle update` and `particle flash --usb tinker` could help here.

No longer breathing white, just flashing green.

Actually, ran the setup again and it’s breathing cyan. Thanks so much!
