Windows 10: Self-Service Password Reset from Windows Sign-In Page

I am trying to deploy SSPR in our environment and whenever we are not connected to the company network and click on the reset password link from the login screen we get an error message "You'll need internet to access this". It seems that whenever we click the password reset link it disconnects the computer from the wifi connection. Looks for ideas on why this could be happening and how to fix it.

Self Service Password Reset

With the increasing amount of workers home-working, some of them even moving from their "close to office" location, we assume a strong need will exist for Self-service Password reset to enable unlocking of accounts, or resetting forgotten passwords. However, in hybrid implementations where the windows machine connects to an on-prem DC, and the Azure Self-service Password reset writes back to on-prem, the user needs to connect to the corporate network in some way to synchronize the password. But before logon, the VPN connection is not available. In our case, to reduce traffic as a lot of workers only work on Office 365. This means each and every time, the user will have to travel to a corporate office for password synchronization. I would guess several big companies and Microsoft Clients are struggling with this, so there must be some talks on the subject?
