I used to be able to get Wi-fi tethering working no problem. I've always used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-1-4-4-2-nexus-4-lte-lte-tethering-t2416822
Lately however what happens is that as soon as I connect I will have internet for a brief moment and then it stops and never works again. As an example I can start a ping to an external IP address and then hit connect on my PC. As soon as I hit connect I will get a couple of replies but then nothing. I can repeat this over and over by just reconnecting to the Wi-Fi tether

hello;
so i have a google N7 32Gb i updated it to 4.2.2 and suddenly it has hard times to connect to the internet.
on my laptop (also connected by wifi), i have no problem
on my desktop (connected with a lan cable) , i don't have any problems either
sometimes my N7 works like a charm but other times it doesnt.
I've mentiond when i turn wifi off and back on then i have like 10 seconds of browsing time.
Some have had success by forgetting the connection and rebooting the router, then setting it up again. Wpa-psk seems to be much more reliable than wep. Static ip in advanced settings has helped some. Mine is a dhcp enabled 802.11n with wpa/wpa2-psk encryption and has been flawless.
I use psk 2 but that isn't the problem since I get connection but the problem is my nexus only stays connected for like 5 or 10 seconds.
If I turn the WiFi off and back on on my nexus then I get connected again for like 5 or 10 seconds.
Weird enough I don't have this problem on any of my other devices ....
Yeah. I just started having this problem today on my Nexus 7 with Cellular. The HSPA+ connection doesn't have issues; I can surf normally but when I'm using Wi-Fi, it's problematic.
I didn't have this issue until recently. Very strange.
I got a wifi problem on my defy with CM11 Android 4.4.
At home I can connect to my routers wifi perfect.
But in school I can't connect to any network. The school has two available networks, one with a password and one without password that authorizes you through the browser.
I'm unable to connect to either of these. They have full wifi signal, but when I click connect they immediately drop to 1 "bar" and disconnect. After the disconnect I got full wifi signal again, but when I connect to drops to zero immediately.
Any idea on how to fix this? Maybe some of the network drivers having problems with networks with a lot of users?

When I'm at work, college, and try to connect my laptop to the hotspot, the connection either does not happen or is disconnected/reconnects within seconds or half a second. I cannot maintain a constant connection, even when manually adding my laptop MAC address.
I have done some troubleshooting and found that the issue is not with my laptop and I only have this issue when I'm at campuses for my institution(2 campuses 40 miles apart). I have reflashed my ROM (to make sure something that might have changed was fixed) and still have this issue. I've also turned on the hotspot, ran a wifi analyzer on my laptop, and changed the broadcast channel as I saw my hotspot had the same channel as the college visitor & guest wifi, but this didn't help either. I am able to tether via USB to my computer, but would prefer to use the hotspot function as tethering uses up a USB port.
This is a very frustrating issue and any help/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Issues with tethering
I am using 7.1.2-20170612-OFFICIAL
with Element X kernel N6P-4.12
When I start up hotpsot my laptop connects and I can ping 8.8.8.8 for about 20 pings. and then it stops, the only way to get it to work again, is to reconnect my laptop to the wifi (so disconnect and then reconnect)
I have also done this test , by pining the 4g IP address - so its not even leaveing the phone.
trid it on USB teather stays connected much longer ..
Same issue here with PureNexus, they suggested me to turn off instant tethering but the issue seems to continue.
Try keeping the screen on while using Hotspot and post the results.
Since the last official update I'm always having problems when I turn on my wifi hotspot to use my other phone with the Zenfone Zoom Data.
When I turn it on it doesn't work, my connected devices show "no connection" when connected to the wifi hotspot, I manage to get it working always swearing while I reset the wifi and data settings, I turn on and off the data and the wifi hotspot. Sometimes I have to go to the VPN and re-tap on the correct VPN in use (that is already selected) and then the connection will stat working on my connected devices. Often I have to repeat those steps many times.
The other weird thing is that when I'm using the Zoom S as wifi hotspot, the connection on the phone itself stop working. It works only on the connected devices.
Never had those problems with previous android phones I had (several Nexus, a Note 3 and an Ulefone Power). I use the wifi hotspot really often since I still use my Note 3 and this is really frustrating.
EDIT Maybe I posted this in the wrong section. My mistake sorry. If some mod can move this I'll be glad.
try adding ",dun" to the access point types under the APN settings. I had a similar issue that fixed it.
Last week I used my Asus 3 Zoom to give my laptop internet by Wifi hotspot. Worked flawlessly.
