Hotspot not working

Hotspot not working

I've just bought a new Sony Xperia Z 5 phone and want to use the hotspot function to be able to connect to internet from my computer. When I use the hotspot without WPA-PSK, I'm able to access internet from my computer, but when I turn on WPA-PSK, I¨m beeing disconnected. My previous phone was Sony Xperia Z1. On this phone hotspot function worked perfectly, but not on my Z5 phone.

I guess I have to do some configuration on my computer or something? Please advice in how to enable WPA-PSK or similar encryption to make hotspot work together with my computer.

Kind regards,

Jon Haakon Ariansen

This is my second z5 premium. Hotspot worked fine on the first one. When i turn on Hotspot it was saying tethering error occured. After trying several different Apn settings, I replaced the sim card.  Still had the same problem.

I have now found settings which allow my Hotspot to come on. However when devices try and connect, they connect but have no internet. I have tested this on more than one device, so its definitely a phone problem. It happens with or without password. Would appreciate any advice.
