I can connect to the hotspot just fine, but the connected devices get disconnected almost immediately. Hotspot is set up using the settings tool in Ubuntu 22.04

I tried all the WiFi security options one by one, and there is the same behavior with each of them.

How do I get this to work? The Ubuntu 22.04 machine gets internet from a wired connection to the home router, the router provided DHCP and DNS services

Does this answer your question? My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue? – waltinator Nov 10 '22 at 22:22
No, the wifi works, I can pull the cable and connect to my android when it is acting as a hotspot fine and get internet, what I can't do is use the wifi as a hotspot for for other devices. I am not alone, it seems to be a common problem for 22.04 and none of the solutions make any difference – Rob Nov 10 '22 at 23:31
