How to implement NetInfo to check network connectivity across different screens?

I have attached a snipped of a component called ConnectionChecker which I have wrapped around all the screen navigations. I have used NetInfo to check for the internet connectivity in the Connection Checker component, checking the connection for all the screens. But the network connectivity is not updated even though I used NetInfo.addEventListner for the same. The following is working for only one screen. But when I wrap the component around the Drawer Stack, it doesn't update the NetInfo variable correctly through which I am checking the network connection.

import NetInfo, { useNetInfo } from '@react-native-community/netinfo';
import React from 'react';

import NoInternetScreen from './NoInternetScreen';

const ConnectionChecker = ({ children }: { children: any }) => {
    const netInfo = useNetInfo();

    console.log('NetInfo is: ', netInfo.isConnected);
    console.log('NetInfo type: ', netInfo.type);

    return netInfo.isConnected ? (
        children
    ) : (
        <>
            <NoInternetScreen />
        </>
    );
};

export default ConnectionChecker;

You can create external function to use everywhere like below;

import NetInfo from "@react-native-community/netinfo";

export function isConnected() {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        NetInfo.fetch().then(state => {
            console.log("Connection type", state.type);
            console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected);

            if (state.isConnected) {
                resolve();
            }
            else {
                reject();
            }
        });
    })
}

then, you can call this like this:

isConnected()
        .then(() => console.log("has internet connection"))
        .catch(() => console.log("no connection"))

so, you can import the connection check method to the required screens, components.
