In short, my phone won’t access google when connected to the office WiFi. Says can’t find the server. It’s fine on home WiFi and mobile data, office pc accesses google just fine.

I am the administrator so what do I need to do?

Check DNS when you are on office WiFi - it should be 8.8.8.8

Only if you want Google to be your DNS provider.

...but checking your DNS settings is the best starting point.

I should have mentioned I am a complete idiot with these things, perhaps administrator is an overstep, it’s my offfice is what I should’ve said not a company owned one.

I can access any other website it seems just not do google searches.

Probably the network settings like the post above says but there is also an issue with Samsung phones and some types of Wifi.

What phone do you have?
