Hi,
I'm having this really frustrating problem trying to make my workstation into a wifi hotspot, and I was hoping you guys could help.
I have a 1Gbit cable directly to my computer (dynamic IP, if that matters) and a TP-link wireless USB.
The USB supports hosted network. I have set it up by setting hosted network to 'allow', assigned an SSID and key. Then starting the hosted network and sharing the ethernet connection with that.
I'm trying to connect my Android to the hotspot but it just goes into an endless "obtaining ip" loop (the same is true for my old iPhone as well). I got it to work for a little while, but after disconnecting the USB and moving it to a better place I can't get it to work again (it doens not help moving it back either).
When I try static IP settings I can only connect to the network, but no internet connection. Granted, i'm not sure how a static IP is supposed to be setup here. I have just entered the hosted network ip into my phone.
The wireless USB does not support changing channels or frequency, so I haven't tried that.
The phone says the signal strength is excellent, so it seems im good here.
Anyhow, I have no idea what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
