Deco M5 Wifi- Work laptop connects but shows: No internet, secured.(logfile: Invalid beacon report)
Hi,
I have had my Deco M5 mesh setup for years and my work laptop has always connected and worked fine.
I also have another laptop, quest3, couple of hromecast,iphones and ipads on the network and everyting worked fine.
Suddenly my work laptop could not connect anymore, while it works fine in the office and tethered to my phone.
Laptop wifi should be ok then.
Other devices still connect without any issues to the network.
on the laptop i have removed the connection, set it up again, rebooted, used random hardware adresses.
On the wifi setup i have also removed the device and tried disabling fast roaming, beam forming, setting DNS to the google one 8.8.8.8, switching between 2.4 and 5 ghz..
Nothing helps.
In the logfiles i find the following notifications with regards to the mac address the WIFI is transmitting;

Would appriciate any support you can offer.
My next step will probably be to reset and create a new and different wifi setup on the M5.
thanks for you response
no, the wifi screen shows checking network requirements for a while and then displays No internet, secured.
i had already tried my guest network which did not help. i also switched it off to be sure, not fixed.
i cleared the deny list and the high priority settings, also cleaned up a group i used to block unknown items.
i did notice the following;
a few years ago i basically assigned fixed IP's to most of my devices. i found that all of these settings were now removed.
a trace to my dns server, looks like i am just not allowed on the WAN for some reason
