Android tablet connected to wifi but not internet

One of my android tablets suddenly cannot connect to internet despite connected to the router. Did try to put in a static IP on the android device, still not working. but the tablet does connect to internet via connecting my iphone hotspot. I suspect some configuration in the Netgear router blocking the android device to the internet. any idea how to fix that? many thanks.

    Hello AYung

     

    if you didnt set up device blocking then nothing should be blocking the device. I would try to tell the android device to forget any network that has the same name as the one you are trying to connect to.
