It's been a while, but just as an update, I actually contacted the Luxonis team directly, and what ended up happening is that they had me send back the RAE I had back to them (apparently it was defective or something), and they sent me back a new one. The QR code connection thing works now, although there are some other weird things going on in RobotHub that I may or may not make a post about, depending on whether they end up resolving themselves.

Oh wow, the formatting got weird… probably wasn't the best way to paste that
Yes, I have a valid connection to my wifi router… in fact, I tried connecting my RAE in two different places: first at a makerspace and then at my home. My RAE doesn't seem to connect to the Internet at either of those two places.
Anyway, for what happens when I use ifconfig, I get this (connected over USB):

And now my RAE won't shut down… first time this has happened. I was able to shut it down before. Can't seem to force shut it down either. It's stuck on the Shutting down screen.
Hi, for the sake for simplicity, I'm going to write out my issues/what I tried in bullet points rather than full sentences…
Turned on RAE, I see rae logo on the screen, cannot scan QR code
According to https://docs-beta.luxonis.com/deploy/troubleshooting/common-issues that means that the agent is not running
Tried connecting to the RAE's wifi hotspot… I was able to connect to it, but it randomly decides to kick me out after like a minute after trying to follow https://docs-beta.luxonis.com/deploy/connect-device/rae
I connect the RAE over the USB, and I am able to connect to it over SSH
I follow the rest of https://docs-beta.luxonis.com/deploy/connect-device/rae to set up the wpa supplicant
I reboot RAE
Still nothing
I try doing ping google.com, and it says ping: bad address 'google.com'
I try following one of the answers in this post: https://discuss.luxonis.com/d/2236-rae-connecting-without-robothub, which seems to have slightly different instructions
Still doesn't work, cannot ping google
I run robothub-ctl status, and I see that the version number I have seems to be lower than the one in the official documentation
I try connecting my RAE via the web UI shown… it says that it was able to add the robot, but it doesn't show up in RobotHub, probably because my RAE still isn't connected to the Internet
So yeah, that's a summary of my issue so far. I got my RAE two days ago, so I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch.
