Wifi is not delivering internet to Android phone nor Linux laptop, Windows desktop is fine.
I came home from school to find that my laptop and phone had the dreaded "connected without internet". As is tradition, I rebooted my router but that didn't help. My desktop connected via ethernet worked fine. I tried searching around a bunch and even updated my router, but nothing worked.
I thought that the wifi in general was my issue so I connected my desktop to the wifi and disabled (later unplugged) the ethernet, to let windows run a diagnostic on the connection for lack of any other ideas (didn't have high hopes, but you never know). However, the wifi works as it should on my desktop, no issues.
As stated, my phone is Android and my Laptop is running Linux (Fedora). My desktop is on Windows 11 and I have my router running on OpenWRT 23.05.6
Anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong here?
