Your Mac connects to car Wi-Fi but cannot browse because of DNS, IPv6, captive portal, VPN, or routing conflicts.

Fix by:

  • Opening captive portal page
  • Setting IPv6 to “Link-Local Only”
  • Using Google/Cloudflare DNS
  • Turning off VPN
  • Resetting network settings
  • Flushing routing table
