I was on MF3 stock (never rooted). I was able to use ES File explorer to activate mobile hotspot and get wifi from my phone to my laptop/tablet. After this 4.3 update last night, it seems to be blocked. Is there anyway around it ??
I have recently updated my I9505 to use the GPE 4.3 rom and I have a problem with my hotspot. I can enable the hotspot and devices can connect and get an IP. However, when I try to use the internet on the devices that connected to the hotspot, they cannot connect to the internet.
I have tried to remove all encryption thinking that the off chance it could be a bad connection to the hotspot but it does not fix the problem.
I have not encountered this issue on stock nor on Omega v9, v13...
What can be the problem?

Solved.
The APN Type was missing "dun" value.
Settings.....wireless and networks....mobile networks....access point names.... Select an APN profile and modify the APN Type field.
so im running the latest stock rooted (ive tried the u firmware also) my wifi hotspot and usb tether cuts on and allows other devices to connect but does no push internet ive tried recovery reset and double flashing nothing seems to allow the internet to be pushed any help would be great
Update Wi-Fi hotspot router for root user says wan interface not found
I just recently rooted my phone in order to use the VPN and Wifi Tether Router app method to unlock unlimited hotspot usage. I have confirmed that the phone is indeed rooted properly using the checker.
When attempting to enable to router app, while I am getting the "enabling.." sequence the phone freezes and then automatically resets its self. Any thoughts or questions I can answer to be more helpful in the troubleshooting process?
*Edit:
I have configured the router app according to the website.
I used the root method as given on https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616 by @jrkruse
Hi I only really use my S4 i9505 as a wifi hotspot. I am using lineage 16 and wanted to enable 5ghz wifi hotspot for a better connection for my Android TV box, it doesn't have strong wifi. I've tried stock rom and lineage 13,14,15 and 16 but none work. Does anyone know latest version of android that 5ghz wifi works? If you could share a link to a rom that it works that would be great. Thanks.
The fact you are having issues even on the stock ROM means this isn't something changing versions of Android can fix. This may well be a limitation of the WiFi radio hardware itself, or there is an issue with the hardware. You can try flashing modem files in Odin and see if things improve, but I doubt it will help.
Yes I might try flash modem files with Odin but I need someone to confirm that this device even supports 5ghz hotspot. There is no option in stock rom to choose 5ghz in hotspot settings. If someone can confirm it working with there Galaxy S4 I will try flashing modem with Odin.
The S4 supports 5GHz hotspots. When configuring the hotspot, accessing the advanced options (menu at upper right) in the hotspot config screen should reveal a setting for 2.4 or 5GHz. If you've set that to 5GHz and it still doesn't help, then you're encountering interference from another WiFi source. Flashing a modem likely will not help; you'd have to move away from the source of the interference.
If you don't have the setting at all then you're limited to 2.4GHz.

first thing to establish is does 5ghz wifi work?
are you able to connect from your S4 to a 5ghz access point?
If that works then you do not need to change modem files.
It connects to a 5ghz wifi hotspot I started with my Mipad 4. Mipad only has wifi that's why it says no internet connection. I don't think the S4 is capable of starting a 5ghz hotspot even know it can connect to them. I've tried few stock custom Roms but they don't have a setting for 5ghz hotspot only advanced settings is choose channel 1 to 11 channels. Tried lineage 12,13,14,15 and 16, reserection Remix Android 7.1. All have setting for 5ghz hotspot but starting hotspot returns error.
