Having a weird issue with wifi on my MBP, fixable?

[nucl30us_m]

I'm having difficulty connecting to a wifi network on my M1 MBP. I'm able to connect, but pages don't load, I'm not getting any data even though I'm connected to the network. The manager of the network instructed me to go to wifi settings, click on "details", then 'TCP/IP', open the menu for "Configure IPv4", then change the setting from "Using DCHP" to "Using DCHP with Manual Address." Then I input an IP address that he gave me and click 'OK'. Then I go back to settings and go through the same steps until I change "Configure IPv4" back to "Using DCHP." This gets the wifi working, but only sometimes. I often have to repeat that absurd process five or more times for it to work. And eventually it stops working again and I have to do it all over. I notice that, when it stops working, the IP address has switched back from the one I selected to a different one. This is all extremely time-consuming and I'm wondering if there's a more reliable way to fix the issue.


I'm able to connect to this network with my iPhone and a Linux laptop with no issues, so whatever is causing it is specific to the macbook. My MBP has never had this issue on any other wifi network, it always works without issues.

Some general info on the type of network you're having a problem with could be helpful, i.e. private, school, government, corporate.

You might try forgetting that network and then setting it up again. If that fails, consider resetting all network settings.

It's at a small mom-and-pop hotel, where the manager seems to think he can do everything himself. Evidently not the case with network management. At least I won't be dealing with this wifi for much longer...

Is "Private Wi-Fi Address" on in System Settings>Network>Wi-Fi>Details?

It's set to "Rotating". Should I set it to "Off"?
