Hotspot thethering not working

[Evoalts]

Hello,

I recently started having hotspot ssues since yesterday, I use my Samsung device with the "60GB within Canada and the US" package mainly for data since my home network has been down recently. The data on my phone itself seems to work but when I try to connect hotspot to my laptop it will show it is connected and say "internet, secured" but nothing works as in any web page says no internet.

I have tried to reset network from my Samsung s22 5g, tried playing around with the hotspot settings, reset network adapter on my laptop, and the APN is correct and follows everything I have seen on other posts. I cannot find the root cause of the issue as I have tried everything online. (I have only used 5 GB out of 60 GB )

I should read the excellent "Help Articles" before commenting. It quite clearly discusses Hotspots under Device Support | Device Features | How To Setup a Mobile Hotspot.

Glad some here could solve it. Public Mobile has acknowledged they're aware and looking into it at the following post:

It was my understanding that hotspots do not work on PM. I'm not sure where I got that idea from but I "knew" that before I signed up. After I signed up I tried it anyway and could create a working hotspot, bonus! Now, I have a horrible feeling they may have "fixed" it.

I fixed mine! I went and created a new APN same settings as factory but added Dun to internet + MMS in APN type

I'm having the same problem today with my Samsung a71 I also tried my Samsung s8 no go.

So I was also having no Hotspot availability this morning.  I also tried to use "Tether by USB" and it too would not connect to internet.  I am currently hotspotted to my notebook as I type this.  How I got it to work was to create a new custom apn.  I basically copied all the settings from the "Mobile Internet" apn but under APN type I put: default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,cbs,xcap,dun   Works perfectly now...

@Evoalts 

don't make any changes to the settings in your phone just yet. Seems like there are others with similar issues today. Check back here occasionally to see if PM has any updates or Announcements about it.
