Hotspot Problems - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm trying to connect my laptop to the Internet over Wi-Fi using my Nexus 5X as the hotspot.
When it connects to the Wi-Fi network it says the connection is limited when I check the Wi-Fi status in windows it shows packets being sent but nothing being received?
I've tried restarting both my laptop & 5X still the same issue.

An odd one

Hi there guy's and gal's
I have and odd one I have not encountered before. I have 2 wireless connections at home and when I connect to wifi 1 the phone tells me there is no connection to the internet via that AP.
Yet when I connect to wifi 2 it does not give the same message.
I have turned off the feature "warn when no internet connection"
When I connect via either wifi with mobile data turned off I do get internet, I know there is internet there so I am at a loss why the phone gives me the message saying no internet when there clearly is.
Any ideas on this or should I just live with it and keep the warning message about there being an Internet connection turned off.
I am running the stock firmware and the handset is not rooted. Is as it came to me from factory.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] WiFi router problem

Hello,
I have some strange problem - whenever my HTC 1x is connected to my WiFi connection, after some time it kills internet connection for all connected devices. WiFi connection stays perfect but internet connection becomes lost until I disconnect my phone and reconnect all other devices. This happens on any internet connection, not only on my personal. Maybe someone has any ideas how can this be fixed?

[Q] Connecting to internetless wifi

Hi i used to create my own hotspots when i still had ADSL from my windows 7 machine. All my phones tablets other PC's would connect to it with no problem whatsoever.
I have found other uses for wifi networks that do not require an internet connection. Now seeing as i do not have an internet connection on my computer and some of these that i use only work if the network is not started by the phone, the hotspot has no internet connection.
This is where I think Android says screw the wifi without an internet connection lets use cellular to do things. The error it throws up is "Avoided Poor Internet Connection".
Is there a way to fix this without connecting the hotspot to an internet connection & without rooting or modding my M8?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings > Wifi > advanced
turn off auto-switch to mobile network
This should help
Another one in developer settings (however not ticked by default)
Settings > developer options
turn off aggressive wi-fi to cellular handover
These should help you if not already enabled. If they aren't then I'm afraid I don't know

[Q] Note 4 Can't Connect to Wireless

I'm not sure what my problem is. When I connect my Note 4 to my wifi it says that my network may not provide internet. In addition, it shows "(secured)" next to my SSID name. The phone then connects to the internet, but it doesn't have internet. I think the problem has to do with the fact that my wifi is being brodcasted on 5Ghz. I attached an image of my wifi settings. Does anyone have any ideas of what to change on the router or my phone? Thanks.
As pathetic as it sounds, I simply restarted my phone and reconnect to the network at it is working great. Go figure.

Phone has problems with detecting the internet connection of wifi

Hello,
my Nexus 5x has problems with detecting the internet connection of my home wifi. If I connect freshly to the wifi (by turning wifi on my phone on), internet connection is detected. But if the phone is not used for some time, the Nexus "thinks" that the wifi has no internet access and uses mobile connection instead. This only occurs with my Nexus and the wifi in my flat. I do not experience those issues with my notebook nor the phone of my girlfriend at my home wifi. Nor does my Nexus 5x show those issues with any other wifi.
Does anyone of you experience similar issues oder do you know how to get rid of my problem?
Best regards,
wewa
Similar problem happen to me on 8.1. I solved with giving the WiFi connection static IP address in the settings (long tap on WiFi SSID and choose advanced, add static IP from range of your router). After some time it fixed by itself somehow and there was no need for static IP settings.
Somehow phone didn't get the IP from DHCP I think.
