3.Sudden loss of connection entirely or of Internet connectivity on WiFi Tether
but not on device
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is constant connection with no interruption of signal, instead I see
the app still running but all devices connected are unable to connect to the
Internet.
Please provide any additional information below.
I've been lurking and trying to find a fix for this problem since I picked up
the phone. There are times when suddenly it will work for hours on end without
an interruption, but most of the time this is not the case. As a further
explanation: After running the app and turning on WiFi tethering, the
connection is stable and strong for a seemingly random amount of time until it
suddenly and without any kind of warning simply stops. Sometimes the device(s)
connected continue to stay connected to the RAZR but are unable to access the
Internet, sometimes the SSID simply stops broadcasting. This seems to become
more frequent when doing any kind 'strenuous' activity such as going to
Speedtest.net and testing ping/download speed or downloading a file over 10MB,
or even loading multiple tabs at the same time. Internet connectivity on the
device itself seems completely unaffected, to the point that the SpeedTest app
regularly shows a strong and low latency connection immediately after the
laptop is unable to establish a connection. Turning off WiFi tether and turning
it back on immediately rectifies this issue until it occurs again, generally
about 5-10 minutes later (though sometimes in as little as 2 minutes).
