When using AllAccess Hotspot for internet on PC I constantly get disconnected from AT&T service.

I have a Samsung-SM-T337A, using Android 5.1.1.  I have used the mobile hotspot feature, AllAcess, for connecting my PC at home to the internet using a NetGear USB wireless adapter.  Recently the hotspot internet connection keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, being very unstable, not to say frustrating.  I have tried using IE, Edge, and Chrome and all programs experience the same problem.  How do I get consistent internet connections using the mobile hotspot feature.

Hello @Rocketbud,

 

Thank you for reaching out on the Community Forums.  I can understand how imperative it is to have a reliable connection.  I would be happy to help.

 

First please power off all devices, wait about 30 seconds and reboot.  Many times the device just needs a quick refresh.  On the Tab please power it off by holding the power button for approximately 10 seconds.

 

If you continue to run into issues, please use our Troubleshoot & Resolve Tool.  Make sure the device is selected and choose Hotspot for the issue.  Please run through all the troubleshooting requests.  

 

I hope this information helps!  Please have an excellent weekend!

That is no help at all. Thee att all access app is the problem. It also does not track connected devices as well as turning off the access point feature.

Hello @donbudnick. We are here to help with your concerns.
