Nintendo switch says Wi-Fi is paused on this device

A couple weeks ago my switch was working perfectly fine with the Wi-Fi we are using. One day it randomly stopped working and when I tried to connect to it again it said registration is required to connect to this Wi-Fi. If didn’t take me to a registration page but bug took me to a thingy that said Wi-Fi is paused on this device with the Google logo on top. I’ve tried to go into Google home and find the Nintendo device to unpause it but Google only connects to Google devices. Since then I’ve tried everything but nothing is working.

This happens to me when I have paused a specific TV and the Switch is playing on that TV. 
Maybe check that?
