My phone (Google Pixel 6 and Android 15) is connected to both 4G and a Wifi network with no Internet. The wifi network gives me IP address
192.168.4.2
and I know there's a WIFI Access point on 192.168.4.1
. The 4G network gives me IP address 10.96.106.X
.
When I am connected to both networks I go to Termux and I try:
ping 192.168.4.1
but ping is unsuccessful - all the packets time out. Then I disconnect the 4G and I try again:
ping 192.168.4.1
And then the ping is successful. It seems like Android is thinking **"The only way to perform the ping is go through the 4G network because your Wifi doesn't have internet"**, so it does the ping over the 4G network and hence it is unsuccessful. But that's wrong - I'm trying to ping an internal IP address on the wifi network so it should do the ping successfully. Any suggestions?
