You have much bigger problems if your IP starts 169.254.x.x.

Is your Pi meant to connect to a Wifi router and be allocated an IP
address by DHCP? Because it isn't happening.

Perhaps you can detail how your Pi will be using the Wifi connection in
your project and people can then give you the relevant help to configure it.

Also, Google link-local IPV3 address or even just 169.254 to read more
about why you have this IP address.
