I just connected to my home Wi-Fi and got the notification, “Google play has switched off your Wi-Fi.” It hasn’t done this before, but after a while it connected again with no complaints.

First question: Why?

Second question: How to prevent it from doing that again?

I don’t like it that “Snoople” can choose that my home Wi-Fi should not be used. They have no right to making that decision.

Network details.

I have pi-hole running as a DNS with a lot of block-lists active (haven’t added a new one since 2021) All are up to date.

Wi-Fi uses WPA3, and up to date.

    Do you have “Turn on Wifi automatically” enabled in the wifi preferences?

      Great question, the answer is no.

      [Edit]

      I do have the feature “Detect suspicious networks.” enabled, so it might be that? Never thought about this setting before.

        That does sound like it might be something that would disable Wifi for you
