TL;DR
  • Google says it’s identified the cause of a major Pixel 6 Wi-Fi bug.
  • The company adds that the March update should address the issue.

Some Google Pixel 6 series owners reported broken Wi-Fi connectivity after updating to the February 2022 update. Now, Google has acknowledged the issue and issued details about a fix.

The official PixelCommunity Reddit account confirmed that Google has identified the cause of the problem:

Thanks so much for reporting this issue, we’re sorry that you’re experiencing it. After some investigation, we identified the root cause and determined that it impacts a very small number of devices. Of course, we realize this is a poor experience and immediately developed a software fix that will be available in the next Google Pixel Update, rolling out in March.

Affected Pixel 6 series users will therefore only have a week or two to wait until the problem is fixed. Then again, Google’s recent track record with patches means that we’re not confident that a completely different bug won’t arise. 

Nevertheless, this latest Pixel 6 series bug was pretty serious as it meant users couldn’t toggle their Wi-Fi on. Affected owners said they tried everything from factory resets and restarting in safe mode to resetting network settings and switching to airplane mode.

Have you experienced any bugs on your Pixel 6 series phone?
