Overview
- Google released the first stable build of Android 17 Friday and began delivering it to Pixel phones, with Pixel 10 among the first devices to get the update.
- Soon after the public rollout many Pixel users reported a Wi‑Fi fault that leaves devices showing as connected but unable to route traffic for numerous apps, especially Google services like Play Store, Gmail and YouTube.
- Reports say the bug affects most recent Pixel models (Pixel 7 through Pixel 10) while the Pixel 6 family appears largely unaffected.
- Users and outlets have found a temporary workaround by enabling IPv6 in home router settings, which restores internet access for some but is not a guaranteed fix for all networks.
- Google has acknowledged the issue through its community channels and is working on a software update, though the company has not given a firm timeline for a permanent patch.
