Hidden Wifi not connected on Android O Beta - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have hidden wifi at work place. It used to work in Nougat but it stopped after I updated to Android O yesterday.
I am able to connect to my home wifi which has SSID broadcasting. But for some reason I am not able to connect to hidden network at office. Does anyone has encountered this issue? Is there a fix? I tried Hidden SSID enabler app without success.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. It's annoying.

WiFi cannot connect findings

hmmm... somehow i found with current wifi libs (fb/gdx/mcm207) i can connect to ANY 802.11g wireless with any security setting (WEP/WPA(TKIP/AES) with no issues.
however i recently changed my router to an N-based one and no matter what i do it refuses to connect even after i set it to G-only mode. does anyone have a workaround? i'm on a Belkin router and no, DD-WRT doesn't work on it. this is also the case on any N-based router that i've tried to connect to since. all have failed.
on GDX now after coming from FB023. Barnacle stopped working for me after FB012. any ideas anyone? tks

You can try Enabling N standard on your phone or set your router to g/b mode only.

I am in Lovely Professional University and i am facing the the same issue when connected to my hostel's wifi network . although the same kind of wifi setup is also there in the campus but there it works fine but in the hostels the phone gets restated again and again when connected to wifi .
I am also facing the same problem. In my case its only for particular settings of the wifi. On some settings the mobile is fine while in some ip address settings in college , the mobile gets restarted.

It is listing out all available wifi connections, but we have to tap on the wifi settings once we turned it "ON".

Fix for Wifi issue
Go to recovery mode(google it if you don't know how), Wipe cache and restart your wifi might work.

Yureka for some reason has issues with a some type of authentication protocol that these public and college Wi-Fi routers use. So this restart issues will persist irrespective of the ROM you are using.

Same issue here. Im using CM12.1, then I installed Orbot and runs as service. Portable hotspot did run OK with VPN running. This morning after I reboot my device, suddenly other device can't connect to hotspot (very long connecting progress). After I remove Orbot, it fixed.
Another solution can be read HERE that may comply to your issue.

Hotspot not working post 8.0

Since updating to 8.0 my hotspot has quit working. Just did a quick search of the forums and haven't seen that on a "list" of known bugs for 8.0. I upgraded to 8.1 beta in hopes that it would have a fix but so far its still not working. It was working prior to updating to 8.0. Any one else having issues? Im not rooted nor do I have TWRP.
Maybe something went wrong during the update process . Do a backup, completely wipe your phone and flash stock image 8.X.X.
was working fine for me in 8.0, updated to 8.1 opm1 (via ota zip from google) and now is hotspot broken for me
interestingly my laptop can ping my phone and it can also ping the gateway address of my phone's data connection
did you resolve your problem?
I fixed this by deleting /data/misc/wifi (using root). This reset all wifi and hotspot stuff.
edit: seems to have broken again - fark google
Not WIFI hotspot but USB tether stopped working for me also. The connection is just detected as a local network with no internet connection.
Was working fine on 8.0, update 8.1 broke it.
edited my apn type and seems to have fixed it. was 'default,supl', cahnged to 'default,supl,dun'

Thanks! This also fixed my hotspot which had broken around 8.1 on Telstra mobile network
I flashed lineageos 15.1(android 8.1) on my 6p, having issue with wifi hotspot. The hotspot will stop working but the phone still thinks it's on. Basically I have wifi hotspot no nitification bar, and the togger switch showing on, however, no SSID can be found and previous connected devices got disconnected. Any fix on this?
N6P Hotspot start, stops Wi-Fi.
Checked these advises. Still no result. Logged in on my networkprovider and with data google fi off. I start hotspot. Wi-fi is halted. Hotspot monitor shows my hotspot is sent. Does not show on receivers. Any help is welcome.
Update: I added APN with wifi provider name. And put that in affect. WiFi is still logged in and received but same problem persists.
As soon I start WiFi again, hotspot is set to off.

wifi suddenly wont connect to specific wifi anymore

I wokeup this morning and noticed my mia1 wasn't connected to wifi anymore.
when i went to settings->wifi-> saved networks i could see the target ssid
no matter what i did i couldn't get it to connect to the desired wifi, but it has no problems connecting to other wifi networks.
things i tried
- rebooting phone
- deleting ssid and readding
- rebooting router
- hiding/unhiding ssid in router settings
- toggle airplane mode
- toggle wifi
- connect to 2.4 and 5ghz. both failed.
Anybody have any ideas what the issue might be and how to resolve?
Do other devices connect to that particular wifi? If not, that means there is something wrong with the router, if they connect, there is something wrong with your phone... And I really don't know how to help you, because you listed all the things I would've tried
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
You could try changing the wifi PW (router setup) to something short and without special characters.
Just to eliminate compatibility issues...
