Obviously this is still a Pixel issue - but at least I can connect to my home Wifi again.

I previously posted saying that Wifi was broken in general, but I mistook my ongoing Xfinity outage as being unable to connect to any wifi. Thus I removed the post.

When the outage ended, I could connect to some other networks and couldn’t figure out why.

It wasn’t until after a painful factory reset process that I tried going from WPA3/WPA2 mode to just WPA2 on both of my APs and suddenly everything is able to connect again.

It seems that the recent OTA update borked WPA3-Personal in a way that doesn’t allow it to navigate the “compatibility mode” of WPA3/WPA2 either.

Edit - Looks like this might even be something Verizon specific - UQ1A-20231205.015.A1

Edit2 - Also mine is a Pixel 7 Pro - a Pixel 6 Pro user reports no such issue - YMMV.

    What about Google just releasing a stable and unbroken system for once?

      No kidding, my Pixel graveyard is too damn big… I wish other phones had nearly the AI/Assistant features that Pixels had because I definitely don’t want to switch to the Apple ecosystem and found the OnePlus experience flawed, while the Samsung experience feels bloated.

      I’d go with a Fairphone, but for some reason it’s impossible to get “officially” here in the U.S.

        Look around for the FP, more places sell it unofficially than you might think, and some of them have their own store warranty.

        I know here in Australia I can order it from https://www.clove.co.uk/ with relatively low markup, not sure if they sell to the US though.

        Are they Pixels all after the 5? I’ve been rocking my Pixel 5 for so long and both my parents have Pixels (6 & 7) and the only one who really complains is my mom with her 6.

          I have pixel 7 pro. Total piece of shit. Spam blocking is nice and camera is great but everything else sucks. I’m definitely upgrading to oneplus as soon as 12 comes out now that they brought back wireless charging.
