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.
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'

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.
I have a zuk z1 and I am running lineage os 14.1 latest build ever since the first build I have a problem that perhaps I have a fast internet connection but whenever I share it via mobile hotspot thethering it only works for around 30 seconds and after that my friends remain connected to it but it doesn't works and they are not able to surf the web and they have to disconnect and reconnect again and again after every 30 seconds. Please someone help me.
I updated from Oreo 5.1.7, encrypted and rooted to Android Pie with a clean install. All works fine, except for some Wifi: at home no problem, but when today I had returned to my office, I cannot use the WiFi anymore, the system keeps saying no internet connection for that WiFi.
Any suggestion?

If the wifi works at home but not at work, let's check your settings again or make a new authentication. It's not a general rom issue, otherwise it will not work in general
Ok, solved (more or less), at my work they changed the configuration of all Access Points during the night.
*happens only on my J2 Lte but not other devices connected to the same network
While connected to my home wifi router, the internet works fine on my Samsung J2 but when i reboot the router or the router loses internet for whatever reason, my J2 (while still showing wifi is connected) has no active internet connection.
(It does after a couple of hours but an active connection on my devices is needed at all times so cant wait that long)
After my router reboots, i have to manually go to my wifi tile on my device and turn it off and back on and then it connects and works like normal.
