Android connection to Wi-Fi seems not to have access to internet

Question

I'm trying to connect to a WiFi network (WPA2 protected) using this code:

val mConnectivityManager =
   context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager?
val networkSpecifier = WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder()
    .setSsid(SSID)
    .setWpa2Passphrase(key)
    .build()

val networkRequest = NetworkRequest.Builder()
   .addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
   .addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_RESTRICTED)
   .addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_TRUSTED)
   .setNetworkSpecifier(networkSpecifier)
   .build()

mConnectivityManager?.requestNetwork(
   networkRequest,
   object : ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback() {

   })

It does work and it connects to the Wi-Fi network. However, sometimes the network doesn't access to internet for some weird reason. Connecting to the network normally using settings doesn't have this issue at all. Any idea why?

The issue for me seemed to be that this was missing:

.addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
