wi fi - Android wifi says "Connected, no internet" but internet works just fine


This is a strange thing that started happening with the wifi network at my work. Android devices connected to the network say "Connected, no internet" however the internet works perfectly well. This has happened to devices running android 6 and 7. This is a small business in the US and theres no proxy or captive portal that is blocking any DNS. Windows and Ubuntu laptops connect and say everything is fine, seems to be something Android specific.



Does anyone know how exactly Android determines weather a network has internet access? This seems like the solution will end up in the router configuration, but knowing what could cause Android to behave this way would be helpful. What steps could one take to troubleshoot this issue?
