Up until last night my laptop was working on my mobile hotspot but today morning suddenly it's not loading anything. It says connected and has internet access but nothing is loading. However my friend's hotspot is working perfectly on my laptop.
I have been getting this problem. I suspect the mobile phone rather than the laptop as it works consistently from a different phone. My phone has unlimited data so it's important to getting working on the right phone.
Sometimes the hotspot on my Samsung mobile doesn't show on the WiFi list without a restart and sometimes if tries to connect and then errors. It had been working fine, then it worked with a restart and over the last week it stopped working completely.
I just downgraded the hotspot Band on the phone from "5GHz preferred" to 2.4GHz and it's all working again.
I am using a Samsung A52 with Android 14 and as of today Ui 6.1 (The latest software update is giving me a consistent 5G data network but I don't think that is relevant solving the problem)
