If this does not work

• Still no internet? Restart the phone and router. Check Private DNS: Private DNS on a OnePlus.
• Wi-Fi passwords gone? Saved networks are forgotten. Before you reset, share them to another phone: share a Wi-Fi password. Source: Connect to Wi-Fi networks on your Android device
