Hello,
Today I am out and about and setup the usual Wifi Hotspot on my Samsung s8 and connected via Wifi from my Debian/stable laptop. However, after a few minutes it stopped working. This is what I managed to figure out:
- The wifi connection stays connect (PC is connected as far as it is concerned)
- I cannot ping the gateway (phone’s IP)
- I rebooted the phone and was able to connect again, but after a few minutes I get the same issue
I’ve been using this setup since 2021 and never ran in to this issue before. I’m running /e/OS 1.18-r-20231207360610-stable-dreamlte. It’s possible that since the last upgrade I’ve not really used tethering (perhaps just for a quick info, so less than 5 minutes).
I am now connected via USB tethering (I didn’t even know I could do that, it’s great!). I will test WiFi tethering again later (from a different location, not sure if that is relevant).
(I’m not sure about the category and tags, please let me know how to fix that if needed.)
