Hi all - bit of a strange one.

Been using M9 for a year or so and it's great for coverage in large house (3 nodes). However, I consistently get wifi status of "Connected No Internet" or "No Internet, Secured" even though there is access sometimes with the status icon showing disconnected. This has been an annoyance but not necessarily a problem.

However, work laptop (Lenovo T14) has moved to full MSFT platform including Company Portal (Store) for apps, O365, etc. Because Windows (10 Enterprise 21H2) is a bit thick, it looks at the wifi status and from that will determine if you can access services e.g. Company Portal. Scenario;

- connected to WiFi with "Connected No Internet" and I can access Internet, O365 (locally replicating) but can't access Company Portal

- connected to WiFi with "No Internet, Secured" and I can access Internet but not O365 or Company Portal

- connected to Ethernet (plugged into remote node) and same as above

I have tried guest network, all combinations of VPN on/off - I can't uninstall VPN to test as I have to get it from Company Portal !! I have tried (I think) every 'suggestion' Google can think of to tweak IP, registry, etc but nothing works (or sticks). If I connect to mobile hotspot, it works - but only a 'tactical' solution when I need to access Company Portal

Any suggestions greatly welcome
