What does Default gateway mean?
The default gateway is the next network device a client normally uses to reach destinations outside its local subnet. In many homes this role belongs to the router. A player needs an appropriate gateway as part of its usable network configuration.

Joining Wi-Fi with the right password does not guarantee that DHCP supplied a working gateway. Inspect the device's normal connection details when it reports no internet. Do not enter a gateway copied from someone else's network. A local diagnostic comparison can help establish whether the player reaches its own router, but some routers limit diagnostic replies, so interpretation requires care.
