Pixel 3a XL repeatedly crashes and reboots when connecting to a specific Wi-Fi network I ran into an issue with my Google Pixel 3a XL phone where it repeatedly crashed and rebooted. After looking into the issue, I remembered that the crashes started as soon as I connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.

The issue began as soon as I connected to it. I tried rebooting in Safe Mode to see if that fixed the problem, which initially disabled all networking features, but as soon as I switched them back on, the crashes started again. I was able to stop the crashes by disabling Wi-Fi immediately after the next restart, forgetting the network it was trying to connect to, then re-enabling Wi-Fi.

The issue seems to occur only when I connect to that specific Wi-Fi network; connecting to other networks doesn't create any problem. I was reading another help guide that said to reset the network settings to fix problems with it, but I doubt that will fix the issue as it just resets the saved networks. I already deleted the info about the problematic network by forgetting it, so I don't think this will resolve it.

The network is an unsecured network, and is a public network (so I don't have access to router info, etc.)

What could be causing the phone to crash and reboot when I connect to that one specific Wi-Fi network, and not any other network?
This is a known, supposedly fixed but not yet pushed into production issue for Wi-Fi networks utilizing 802.11k:

It has been more than a year and still unresolved in end user devices. I don't understand why it is taking this long especially considering:

That they have supposedly fixed it in the code.
How widespread this must be, as all devices are affected (even if most people may not realize it has to do with Wi-Fi, it took me a while to connect the dots). I am personally experiencing the same on a Pixel 3.
