PREPARATION
[ ] Permission to use comparison networks

[ ] Another device on the same network if available
[ ] A second trusted network if available
[ ] Keep any existing backup accessible to you.
[ ] Keep credentials and personal files outside this record.

GUIDE
1. Open Settings → Network & internet → Internet. Check Wi-Fi and Airplane mode, then toggle Wi-Fi off/on if appropriate. Keep network identities private.

2. After joining, open one ordinary webpage. Record a joined Wi-Fi network separately from working internet access.
Sources: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6183600?hl=en; Identify the connection issue: Internet
3. Try the same page from another permitted device on the same network. Shared failure is evidence for the network owner or ISP.
Sources: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6183600?hl=en; Identify issue: Phone
4. If available, test the Pixel on another trusted working network. A failure limited to one network needs that network’s support first.

5. Restart normally using Power + Volume up → Restart and compare the usual network again. A later safe-mode comparison is available in its own task if an app may interfere.

EVIDENCE TO RECORD
Wi-Fi observation: Not recorded
Network ownership: Not recorded
Comparison device: Not recorded
Second network: Not recorded
Pixel on usual network — Same webpage; connected-state observed: Not checked
Other device on usual network — Permitted device; same webpage: Not checked
Pixel on second network — Trusted network independently known to work: Not checked
Pixel after normal restart — Original network and same webpage: Not checked

STOP CONDITIONS
Stop using and charging equipment with swelling, casing separation, smoke, a burning smell or suspected battery damage. Do not open or press on it.
Set damaged accessories aside. Do not open mains adapters or force connectors.
Do not erase, reset, flash firmware or bypass a lock as a default diagnostic step.

OUTCOMES
Comparison recorded: A shared or network-specific failure should be discussed with the network owner or ISP. Save which comparison supports that route.
- Joined-state versus internet reachability
- Another-device result on the same network
- Pixel result on an alternative network and after restart
Complete the missing preparation: Confirm a permitted network, Wi-Fi setting and actual webpage result first.
- Use an ordinary non-sensitive webpage and a permitted network.
- Joined-state versus internet reachability
- Another-device result on the same network
- Pixel result on an alternative network and after restart
Discuss the recorded result with support: Give Google or IT the cross-device and cross-network results if failures follow the Pixel.
- Joined-state versus internet reachability
- Another-device result on the same network
- Pixel result on an alternative network and after restart
Keep the unknowns in your handoff: A peer or alternative network was unavailable, so the scope of the failure remains partly unknown.
- Tell support whether the missing comparison was another device or another working network.
- Joined-state versus internet reachability
- Another-device result on the same network
- Pixel result on an alternative network and after restart
Stop powered checks: Stop using or charging damaged equipment. Do not open or press on the phone or handle hot or smoking equipment. Contact Google or an authorized provider; use local emergency help for immediate fire danger.
- Stop network testing and describe any hardware damage or abnormal heat.
- Joined-state versus internet reachability
- Another-device result on the same network
- Pixel result on an alternative network and after restart
