3. Usually this sufficient to access from your phone .

Select SID:

Provide the password :

4. Sometime phone can connect to SID , but stuck at “Authenticating “ or “Getting IP adress “

in that case , Follow below steps to debug the issue

5. Verify the Hotsport file created in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

[root@sterinlap system-connections]# more Hotspot

[connection]

id=Hotspot

uuid=e6a7f45e-2bf3-4e92-8ba3-90e759sds32f2bc

type=wifi

autoconnect=false

[wifi]

ssid=sterinlap

mode=ap

mac-address=AC:7B:A1:3C:E2:3B

security=802-11-wireless-security

hidden=true

[wifi-security]

key-mgmt=wpa-psk

proto=rsn;

pairwise=ccmp;

group=ccmp;

psk=PASSWORD

[ipv4]

method=shared

[ipv6]

method=auto

Key is mode should ap

6. Get the Lan Card details :

ifconfig whill show the deails

Here my wirless card is wlp2s0:

7.Disable the firewall

systemctl stop firewalld.service

8.Start the hotspot from commadline :

nmcli con up Hotspot ifname wlp2s0

[root@sterinlap system-connections]# nmcli con up Hotspot ifname wlp2s0

Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/19)

9. Connect from mobile

10.Some times , you have to set proxy in phone to access internet .

1. Connect to WIFI network (e.g. 'sterinlap')
2. Settings->WIFI
3. Long tap on connected network's name (e.g. on 'sterinlap')
4. Modify network config-> Show advanced options
5. Set proxy settings

11. Next time , while accessing the hotspot, you have to simply follow steps 1,2 Phone will be automatically connects it
