[SOLVED] ping 8.8.8.8: Destination Net Unreachable

I'm trying to connect to the internet through a mini-router that is tethered to my phone.  My computer is connected to the router by cat5 cable.

Following Network Configuration...

$ ip link show

2: enp9s0: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST,UP, LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 24:4b:fe:8b:f1:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

$ ip address show

"..."
    inet 192.168.8.220/24 brd 192.168.8.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp9s0
       valid_lft 4020sec preferred_lft 40204sec
    inet6 fe80::e73e:d1f2:a24c:9634/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

This looks right...

$ ip route show

default via 192.168.8.1 dev enp9s0 proto kernel metric 100 pref medium
192.168.8.0/24 dev enp9s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.8.220 metric 100

$ traceroute 8.8.8.8

...30 hops max, 60 byte packets

1 _gateway (192.168.8.1) 0.444 ms 0.620 ms 0.799 ms
2 192.168.42.129 (192.168.42.129) 3.714 ms !N 3.758 ms !N *

I'm using Network Manager to handle configuration.

I'm stumped because normally Network Manager just works, and when I've gotten "Destination Net Unreachable" in the past, it meant that the device was down or something, but as far as I can see, everything looks configured correctly.

Could someone please help me to understand what I'm missing here?

Thank you.

Does it work if you use usb-tethering directly to the computer?

I wasn't able to tether directly because my phone wouldn't give me the option to change the connection type when I plugged it in to the pc.  I might need a driver for that?  I'm not sure.

are you able to ping 1.1.1.1?

I just plugged in now and tried that, and yes, I'm able to ping 1.1.1.1.  I am also able to ping 8.8.8.8... and archlinux.org...

I have no idea what happened, but I have rebooted in the time since.  I have not made any configurations related to networking.  Changing the title to [SOLVED], and hopefully it stays that way.
