Printer mostly OFFLINE after upgrade of MK4 to MK4S

I finally got my MK4S upgrade kit yesterday and rebuilt the printer.  After the rebuild everything seems to be working fine but the printer would not show up as ONLINE in Prusa Connect.  I checked the printer and it had as good IP address and all the network status showed good.  I rebooted the printer and it did show up as ONLINE after a few minutes but, only for a while.  Long enough that I was able to upload a print to Connect and it was pushed to the printer and the job started.  At some point during the print I came back to my computer to check the status and the printer showed OFFLINE again. So I went downstairs to check the physical printer and it was fine and still printing.  
This morning I pulled up Connect again to work on this issue some more and noticed that the printer is still showing OFFLINE but the dashboard does show that that print job finished.  So at some point during the night it must have connected to Connect again, long enough to update that job status.
The only other thing I noticed that seemed odd to me is, in the Info > Network page on the printer screen is shows the Connect DNS as buddy-a.prusa..something but the Connect IP is 10.123.x.x.  (don't remember the exact IP it resolved to).  It seems odd that it would be trying to connect to a private IP.  Unless the connection to Prusa Connect is building some sort of VPN???

Anyway, any ideas on why my printer won't stay ONLINE?
