Ensure that you enable Wi-Fi in Comm Manager and, of course, configure your connection (WEP or WPA, MAC adress etc.).

Also check the router for broadcast channels... (b,g,b+g)...
The best option is b+g...

make sure you also turn the power up on the wifi connection..

Mobile hotspot connect, but no internet connection

Hi, I tried getting help with this on P30 Pro forum here, but no luck. I'm having problems with mobile hotspot on my Huawei P30 Pro. My notebook can see the hotspot, and can connect to it, but the phone just won't share the internet connection.
Bluetooth is turned on, and bluetooth tethering as well, and I tried both 2.4 and 5 GHz.
I tried USB tethering. Tried apps from the store. Tried addin "DUN" to APN type and always the same thing - notebook can see the hotspot, but internet is not working. Any ideas? The notebook is Asus Rog G751. Three months ago internet over hotspot was working, but since I only use hotspot when travelling, I have no idea what could have gone wrong in the mean time.

You have tried USB tethering as well as Bluetooth tethering. Have you tried the 'Portable WLAN hotspot'?
In the Settings of 'Portable WLAN hotspot', there is a 'Data limit' option. Check it and the device list, please.

Switch Airplane Mode On and Off:
This is a method that usually fixes the error and works for most of the Android Users. All the user needs to do is switch the Airplane Mode On and off. The airplane mode basically resets the Signal and Network adapter to help the connection be restarted again.
To switch the Airplane Mode On and off, all you have to do is pull the notification drawer down, and then look for an Airplane icon, tapping on it will activate it. Wait for 5 seconds, then tap on the Airplane icon again to deactivate it and wait on all the Mobile network to appear again and then turn on the data and the Hotspot of the device.
Change from Dynamic IP to Static IP:
Mobile data has a dynamic IP address, which tends to alter every time you turn it on. So sometimes setting up a static IP address will solve the connection problem. The steps are to change from Dynamic to Static IP:
Step One: Navigate to Settings in the connected device, select Wi-Fi connection and long-press the name of the Hotspot, this will bring up a Menu, this setting can also be found under Modify Network of the Wi-Fi.
Step Two: Change the IP setting from Dynamic to Static IP, and then assign an IP starting with 192.168.x.x (Replace with any number from 1 to 255). Do not change anything else from the settings, press apply and this should fix the issue.

[Help] Device can't find nor connect 5GHz networks

I have been having this issue for a while, no one was able to help me so far...
I can't find nor connect to 5GHz networks at all, recently, I found out that if I turn airplane mode ON and then I enable WiFi, I can connect to 5GHz networks...
WiFi ON + Airplane mode OFF (location status doesn't make a difference)
5GHz networks can't be found
View attachment 4851435
WiFi ON + Airplane mode ON (location status doesn't make a difference)
Device can find and connect 5GHz networks, and it remains so as long as airplane remains on and I don't turn wifi off and on.
View attachment 4851437
Other notes, already tried the following:
- Remove the SIM card, no difference
- Reset network settings, no difference
- Change location status on/off, no difference
- Played with bluetooth status, no difference
Pleaseee help

Hi! My phone doesn't have any problems with 5Ghz wifi. Did you try to connect to another wifi? There are some advices about changing wifi chanel in your router (see last 4 posts):
