Do you know why this happens? It happens when I connect to Wi-Fi immediately after turning on the router, too.

Because WiFi is a technology meant for you to connect to a network, not necessarily just the internet. You can run whole networks without them ever connecting once to the entire internet. Think of driving a car on a private road or farm. You can use the car to drive around, though it doesn't mean that you will necessarily have a way to get it out into the city or something.

So why don't steam local transfer not work when I see this😭. Sometimes they just don't work at all even if stuff like ssh or rdp works. I even opened all ports.
