MacBook connects to wifi but there's no internet connection

Ok, I've got a weird situation. 2017 15in MBP running 11.6

Connects to my home wifi but there's no internet.

The weird thing is: all other devices in the house are using this wifi without any difficulties AND this device connects to other wifi systems without a problem - including a secondary network in my home (but that secondary network doesn't have the same coverage so I prefer not to use it).


So ... this device alone cannot connect to this wifi alone. I updated the OS hoping that would fix it. Ran first aid on all components. Tried resetting device and modem with no changes. Any other suggestions?
