Internet backup connection test keeps failing
I have a Pixel9a and I am using its hotspot as the internet backup for my Deco x60. Howerver the test connection check keeps failing and I have no idea why. Here is what I have done so far:
- Using 2.4 ghz band in Pixel 9a for hotspot.
- Using WPA2-personal encryption for hotspot.
- Using fixed WAN port in deco.
- Using Manual DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the dns server for internet connection.
Here are the logs from the test and I think these are some interesting observation
- The Deco successfully scanned and identified myPixel hotspot on the 2.4 GHz band with an exceptionally strong signal (

- A DNS query failure during the setup:

Any idea on whats going on which can help me debug this will be greatly appreciated.
