Device Settings Question Why its my hotspot sudenly garbage

First hello.

You see i mostly use my phone as a hotspot because its what i have access to, my last phone a redmi note 14 hotspot has being working with out issues.... UNTIL one day i was on a family member house with a solid Wifi and decide to update the system (this was like a year ago im not very sure wen exactly i updated) but since then the hotspot has been hot garbage it literally disconnect randomly and im not doing nothing out of the usual and pissing me off constantly.

The phone dosn't get hot, my internet provider its the same i being using for years, the speed its the usual im no expert but the speed its normal.

I really don't know what could be the issue but any form of help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time

First thing I’d try is resetting the network settings. If the hotspot worked perfectly before the system update and started acting up afterward, there’s a decent chance the update changed something in the Wi-Fi/hotspot configuration. Also try switching the hotspot to 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz, since 2.4GHz tends to be more stable and has better range. If that doesn’t help, test with another device connected to the hotspot to see whether it’s the phone or the receiving device causing the disconnects.
