  2. Laptop wont connect to Android hotspot 5ghz but does on 2.4ghz

    good evening,

    I have a problem where i cant connect to 5Ghz hotspot from my samsung 21. It is set up as 5Ghz on my phone but says unable to connect to network. If i set my phone as 2.4Ghz it will connect fine. I have ruled out the phone as i can connect my works phone to the 5Ghz hotspot. When i try set up my works phone as the 5Ghz hot spot i get the same issue on the laptop. I have tried everything i can think of. My laptop does connect to 5Ghz wifi as this is what i use in my home to game. It just seems to be hotspot that it wont allow. Below is a list of what i have tried.

    Forgetting the hotspot
    Flight mode
    Manually adding the wireless connection
    Changing network adapters to show 5Ghz connections only
    Updating windows to latest update
    Network adapters are updated


    One thing i did do that worked the first time was open command prompt and do these commands below

    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ip reset
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns

    Then i restarted laptop and it connected to 5Ghz hotspot. Then after 30 minutes it disconnected and i have not been able to connect again, even after repeating the above steps. Please help!
    Thank you

  3. Connecting to a moblie Hotspot

    Hello Eddie,

    There are reasons why you are unable to connect your phone to mobile hotspot. It could be a hardware or network provider issue. To isolate the issue, please provide the following information:

    • What is the model and OS of the device that you are connecting to the hotspot?
    • Have you tried connecting to a different WiFi hotspot?
    • Are you getting any error messages?

    Unable to connect instant hotspot via Phone Link

    Win10 computer & Hotspot on Android phone - Security Key rejected

    Denis,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried something that I should have early in the troubleshooting process and placed the AT&T SIM from the LG K30 in an old ZTE Maven2 that I had lying around. Instant secured hotspot was provided for the Win10 laptop. Either the K30 is piece of junk or the Android Pi that the seller put in as a system does not allow hotspot secured connections. In any case the problem is definitely with the phone and not the Win10 computer so I will close this out.

    Thanks for your time,

    EW
