  1. I tried all this and still can’t connect. I have a GooglePixel 3a.

    • yeah me too, same device. also having the same issue. It connects but shows as ‘no internet’ even though my laptop is connected and my boyfriend’s phone is connected.

  2. Changing to IP setting from DHCP to static did not work, but what worked, was to change in privacy “use randomized MAC address” to “use device MAC address”. Then I got Internet connection.
