Can connect to Wifi or local, but not Internet

MacBook has taken on a weird thing where it will connect to networks, wifi or otherwise, but not to the Internet itself. It can do local network drives fine, just not the Web.

Though just when that almost makes sense, it absolutely *can* connect to the Web through a local food court WiFi (and thus far nowhere else)

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

Internet connection issue with Monterey There's been some discussion of internet problems with Monterey 12.4.1. From what I've read, users have been in the middle of using some online resource and then get cut out. My issue is different. It's the initial access to the internet that is a problem. My network connection in preferences shows me connected and with an IP address, but in both Safari and Firefox it takes multiple attempts and various switching on and off, rebooting, etc. before I can connect. This issue affects both a 2021 iMac (with Apple M1) and an older MacBook from 2017. But (and this is the important point, I think) it does not affect another iMac in the same household running Big Sur. To make this more interesting, the MacBook connects flawlessly and quickly to the WiFi network at my job. So it looks like a specific interface problem between 12.4.1 and the ISP in my home, but not a problem between Big Sur and the very same ISP.

Connected Wi-Fi router not accessing internet - MacBook Air M1 2020 The Wi-Fi router is connected to the internet as other devices (Mac) are using it to access the internet. As you can see from the image MacBook Air is connected to the router (via WiFi) BUT then there is no connection to the internet. To reiterate other devices connect through the router to the internet - so not sure what is happening here. Can anyone help? Thanks
