I use my Redmi 6A as an Wi-Fi hotspot to use its data on laptop. But since I started doing this, I notice that its hotspot is not working as it should be.
Every once in a while, internet connection goes away, while Wi-Fi stays connected. It happens especially after the laptop is rebooted and Wi-Fi reconnects. If that happens then I'll have to turn off hotspot on my phone and start the hotspot again for the Wi-Fi to work.
I tried to see where the problem is, and I found out these:
1. Wi-Fi stays connected, but no internet.
2. It happens after random period of time after the laptop is connected to the hotspot
3. It also happens when the laptop is rebooted and then it connects again to the hotspot.
4. From the laptop, ping to gateway IP does not work. Ping to any other IP also not work.
5. Turning off and on again the hotspot solves the problem. And then it happens again.
Do anyone else face this problem?
Can anyone tell me why is this happening?
ROM version: 10.3.2.0 Global (Problem was also happening since a few previous versions.)
Laptop: Windows 10, Ubuntu (problem is not in the laptop, because it works fine on other phone's hotspot)
Old thread, but nope. Mine works great and wifi is stable.

Hi,
I'm having a frustrating problem and I hope my Streak is not broken:
I got a new Streak today and updated it to 2.2.2. I had to download the update file manually with my PC because the wifi connection randomly disconnected.
I easily managed to set up wifi (I just had to enter the SSID and it worked) but the connection is very unstable. At best I can download 10 mb before it disconnects. While browsing it disconnects after seconds. I can't open larger sites like bbc.com.
I can see the WiFi symbol on the taskbar dissappear every ~3 seconds.
Other devices such as my laptop have no issues connecting to my wifi.
thx
It seems to work now (*puh*). However I don't know why.
I did a factory reset, a router reset and installed wifi analyzer.
Would be glad if some explained to me what the issues might have been here.
I am using SHOStock 3 3.0.2 on my i777.
I just changed my router (TP-LINK TL-WDR4300 with DD-WRT running) and strange thing began happening.
When I connect my phone to Wi-Fi everything works as usual, then after a while (maybe about an hour?) no connection to network at all.
WiFi signal is strong, has IP Address assigned, router sees the device. But, cannot ping in or out. No connection to network at all.
If I disconnect from WiFi and connect again, it works for a while, then same thing happens again.
No other WiFi device in my home is having that problem.
Any ideas what might be the cause, anything I can try?

I'd do a factory reset first to isolate whether it's your phone or your router causing the problem.
So I have a SP2 with RemixOS on USB and everything works fine except the WiFi. It 'half works' I can see WiFi networks that aren't mine and I can see and connect to my network but only immediately after I reboot my router. It will then keep the connection until the display turns off or I reboot. Then it will fail to see my network again but will still see other networks around me. My network can still be seen by EVERYTHING else in my home... I don't get it. Also it will only see the 2.4GHz radio, never the 5GHz one. My router is a TL-WDR3600 with a pretty standard setup, I have WPS disabled but other than that nothing oddly configured. Anyone have any ideas how to get this thing to see my network reliably?
Edit: This is on the 3-01-16 x64 build if that matters.
Nobody else has this issue with their SP?
On my SP2 wifi is also very unstable
I just bought Honor 7 PLK-L01 with B170, and already face a problem. The thing is, when I turn it on first time, and setup the connections, I can see wifi hotspots or routers, but honor 7 can't connect to them, it just says "saved" or something. I thought it was router problem, then I just skip it. Then I turned the wifi off in honor 7, but when turn it back on, none of the hotspots or routers shows up. It says "Scanning..." and the little circle turns around, but never found a wifi hotspot. It can transfer files thru Share It, and it uses wifi to do it. I'm using my other device as hotspot to use internet, and there are many routers nearby, but it can't find any...
I tried Add network... and type my hotspot name and password, but nothing happened...
Somehow creating wifi hotspot from Honor 7 works... I can connect to it, but not other around...
In Data traffic management, there's Mobile hotspot, where I can choose wifi network as hotspot, not even that fixed my problem...
I found a way: Reset my phone, removing sim and sd-card tray, turn it on, connect to wifi... But when I connect the tray, wifi goes down again...
It's either sim-card or sd-card... Without them works fine too...
I found out that I just need to update my firmware to B330, then it should fix the problem, I hope...
Yep, it does fix the wifi by updating to Emui 4.0
Hi, I am using Redmi note 3 Kenzo runs on RR ROM Latest Version. In sometimes my device will not provide internet through wifi. It will shows that connected to a network but no internet connection. Same time if i connected to the same network by my other phone or with my Laptop, there is no problem. I can access the internet. After rebooting the phone (Note 3), It will work like normal. Plz help me to solve my problem.
The MIUI update has bugged the 2.4GHZ wifi; it will connect and work on 5GHz, but 2.4 tries to connect - connects and instantly disconnects, despite the wifi status saying it is connected and working.
I found this info under the phones advanced CIT testing menu.
It HAS been reported on the MIUI forums, so hopefully will get fixed soon, until then, I suggest you disable 2,4GHz, so you dont accidentally run up a huge 4G data bill like I have.
