Experienced difficultly connecting my phone Bv8000 internet with other devices.

It works fine with my wife's phone Azus Zenphone 3 running Android 6.0

My tablet PC running Android 5.1.1 doesn't pick up the bv8000pro SSID network signal or my old phone Nexus 4 also running 5.1.1 (I tried changing it beyond the default settings, passwords, AP 2.4/5gb and IPv 4/6..still not even a flicker of a signal. It does work by Bluetooth however, effortlessly, but not hotspot.

My laptop (Dell running Windows 10) doesn't get the Hotspot SSID in the Network signal display from the phone. I did however manage to load universal abd driver and get the USB tethering going (eventually..after many hours fumbling around)

On the plus side...If I were to hotspot all the above devices (Tablet, Nexus 4 & Laptop) my Bv8000Pro picks their SSID 'instantly'.... However, they are not internet connected, only my Bv8000Pro is, as my newly adopted regular phone.

It is a good phone by the way, pretty solid/rugged, but I often need to share my internet connection to other devices (mainly tablet Andr 5 and laptop Wins 10) to maintain my workflow.

I have found a temporary work around (Bluetooth & USB tethering). But nothing really beats Hotspot for people on the move. Is there a hardware/software issue? If so will there be an update to resolve the problem?

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback. We will study this issue.

I got the same problem with the 20170718 rom, but for me does not work over bluetooth or USB either. The devices conect to the hotspot and instantly they retrive an IP but they cant connect to internet, while the phone is with 4G, surfing without problem.
