Hotspot with Android clients not working

#1 Post by morse_the_horse »

I purchased a Panda wi-fi adapter and connected it along with my internal PC wi-fi to use the Dell Latitude E7270 with Buster computer as a hotspot. Android clients refuse to connect just "reconnecting" over and over. Another Debian laptop connects fine and uses the internet through the Latitude. The androids recognize the connection as they give me an error if I use the wrong password so they are communicating.

I then tried my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop connected to the internet by ethernet and the Panda connection from the Androids and that works fine.

I then reversed the connection on the Latitude so the Panda connected to the internet (works) and the internal wi-fi is the hotspot. Same problem. "Reconnecting" from Androids.

I then tried the Latitude using ethernet as internet connector and internal wi-fi as hotspot. Same problem. This tells me hotspot problems with Android have nothing to do with Panda but simply does not work.

Any suggestions?

Update: I tried a Roku and it connects without problems. Only Android phones fail.
