No Internet access for device's connected to the phone's hotspot

[AdamG1]

Since the last update, I can't share my Internet with other devices. They connect to my phone's hotspot, but there is no Internet connection.

sometime in order to initate internet connection they have to open the browser.( chrome).

also can you check if this happens when you are on safe mode?

if you recently updated you can try to perform software repair using Xperia Companion if it keeps going on

Hi @AdamG, sorry to hear this.

In addition to what @nolramlb already suggested I'd also recommend that you try to restore your device's APN settings. This can be done in Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > [menu] > Reset to default. After you've done this, go back to Settings > More and tap on Internet settings to download the APN again. I also recommend that you reboot your device once the APN has finished downloading.

Hi.  So... I have tried all above options (and a few more),  but the problem still persists.
