I am facing identical problem, with identical phone and network operator.

ping 8.8.8.8

works, but

tracert google.com

does not work on connected client

what i have tried already:

- restart phone

- restart mobile network settings

- remove APN and via configuration sms add them again

- change hotspot settings

but without any success.

android version is 7.1.1., phone model G8142

any suggestion ?

solved!!!

This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):

  1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
  2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
  3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
  4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
  5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Hi kapcus,

Thanks for your post on fixing problem w tethering on XZP. I have now the same problem. Is the last character in the settings command O or 0 (zero)?

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much. I did it. I hit return after I typed the command. Then I closed the CMD window. Is that all or did I need to type any other command to close the session?

Thanks!
