Getting "Network is unreachable" error on network restore on Xamarin Android App

Question

I am working on a Android Xamarin App. This app connects to a device through Wi-fi (the device is a Access Point) and while the app is connected to the device, there's no internet connection on the phone.

So when I disconnect from the device AP and connect the phone to another network with internet connection, I try to make HTTP requests to the server and I always get "Network is Unreachable" error, even tho the phone does have connection (tested accessing Chrome). Only works again after I restart the app.

I am using all the good practices I found online regarding HttpClient class (not wrapped in a "using" statement, using only one static HttpClient object instead of creating a new one on each request, etc.)

I implemented IHttpClientFactory to create the HttpClient, but still gets the same error.

My code (simplified):

public static class WebRepository
{
private static IHttpClientFactory _clientFactory;
private static HttpClient _client;

static WebRepository() 
{
    _clientFactory = Startup.ServiceProvider.GetService<IHttpClientFactory>();
    _client = _clientFactory.CreateClient();
}

public static async Task<T> GetAsync<T>(string url)
{
    try
    {
        if (Globals.LoggedUser != null)
            _client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Authorization", $"{Globals.LoggedUser.Token}");
        HttpResponseMessage message = await _client.GetAsync(url).ConfigureAwait(false);
        return await DeserializeResponseMessageAsync<T>(message);
    }
    catch(HttpRequestException e) when(e.InnerException != null && e.InnerException is SocketException && e.Message.Contains("Network is unreachable"))
    {
        _client.CancelPendingRequests();
        _client.Dispose();
        _client = _clientFactory.CreateClient(); //Tried to create a new client in order to "refresh" connection, so in the next Get request it would be a new client, but no luck. Still gets the excepction every time.
        throw e;
    }
    catch(Exception) { throw; }
}
}
