I can't guarantee it hasn't been patched- it's not like I frequently boot the Deck when the Internet is down but my network is running- but this reddit thread describes the problem though it seems the existence of a network but no Internet may not have been the trigger, any lack of Internet may have killed it:

As I recall I also hadn't used my Deck for a while.
