Android 17 rolls out to Pixel phones—but Wi-Fi issues plague early adopters

Google has started rolling out Android 17 to users. Pixel smartphones are the first devices to receive the update. However, some users have already reported problems after installing it. The latest Android version, Android 17, is now reaching Pixel devices first. Other brands like Samsung and Xiaomi will release their own versions later.

Many users have encountered Wi-Fi connectivity issues after updating. These problems mainly affect Google’s own apps. Some apps fail to use Wi-Fi and switch to mobile data instead. If mobile data is off, these apps stop working entirely.

A temporary fix involves enabling IPv6 support in router settings. This has helped some users restore normal Wi-Fi function. Google is working on a permanent solution and plans to release an update soon. Android 17 is now available for Pixel phones, with other manufacturers to follow. The Wi-Fi issues are causing inconvenience for early adopters. Google’s upcoming patch aims to resolve the problem completely.
