I haven't been able to get anywhere with this issue I've been having for a few weeks, so I figured I'd fire up my old xda account and see if anyone on here can help since this is a more techy crowd. I've searched and searched but I haven't found anything similar unfortunately.
Tl;dr I have to log in to my work's guest wifi every day, but I didn't before. Nobody else does. Auto connect is set to on, but it doesn't work like it used to/is supposed to.
Longer: I connect to a guest network at work every day that's meant for employee personal devices. (I use a homebrew VPN for this.) Before the issue started, I'd periodically (maybe once/month if that) have a notification when I arrived to sign in, and you click agree in a captive portal and you're on your way. Other than that it auto connects just like at home. A few weeks (?) ago however, I've started having to do this every day. If I'm disconnected for over roughly an hour (say if I leave and come back during the day) I have to do it again, and if I reboot my device I also have to sign in again. If I just toggle wifi on and off quickly then it automatically connects just fine.
Ordinarily this wouldn't be a huge deal, but where I work I basically get no cell coverage. I also have a couple tasker profiles that I've been using for years to do stuff (vibrate mode, silence media, etc) when I arrive to work, and these don't/won't trigger until I have a minute to log in. Ideally these would trigger as soon as I'm within range of the building, as I've been doing for years now.
None of my coworkers have this issue, everyone that I've asked all say their devices automatically connect just fine, as mine used to.
I'm assuming this is something related to my device. Because it happens if I reboot, but not if I quickly disconnect and reconnect, I'm imagining maybe something isn't being cached correctly?
If anyone can help me fix this I'd be very grateful!
