I have a pixel 6a on android 15, it can connect to my wifi, but not the internet oO

^^

My pixel won't connect to the internet. Thing is my PC is using the same router and everything.  And works just fine.

On the phone though it just won't connect I have tried:

Rebooting the phone

Static IP on the phone

Use device MAC on the phone

Rebooting the router (even though PC has no trouble)

 

When I was on android 14 it worked, but as soon as it updated the OS it stopped working right.

Simillar issue to this guy:

I am stumped!

Try switching from "use phone mac" to "randomise mac".

Unless the router uses a MAC filter, it makes no difference.

 

Use of device MAC is only needed if you're still using snake-oil MAC based filtering for "security". Otherwise either works just fine, the router won't care either way.

 

If the phone is on Wi-Fi, but can't connect to the internet, first thing to check would be DNS. Does the phone use the DNS server coming from the router's DHCP. Alternatively, try manually setting it to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.4.4, 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9.

The phone is set to DHCP, it's the same stupid box my computer is using a janky Lynksis e2500 "dual mode" 5g and 2.4g  it's ginormous POS (as one piece of ***** not point of sales device).
