Hey guys, I got an oddly specific question.
I bought a Lenovo tablet for an in dash tablet install. I was going to just tether to get data for Google Maps. I get into the car, turn tethering on, but the tablet doesn't even see the network. Entering the SSID and password manually does nothing, still can't connect. I tried changing frequency from 2.4GHz to 5GHz and back, changing the SSID to just letters and no numbers, even removing the security entirely. Nothing. I thought it was the tablet that's at fault. I take my Surface Pro 4 and try. It sees the network but fails to connect.
When I'm at home or at work, tethering works fine on both devices. So it isn't the tablet. It's something to do with the phone. In the car (2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder) the phone is connected via Bluetooth to my stereo and that's it. It isn't the location of the device, I tried in a dash mount, on my lap, and in the passenger seat. It isn't the location of the car either, I tried in my garage, at the end of the block, and about a mile away. Same deal, doesn't work.
Any thoughts to what could be happening?
Ignore my sig, it's ancient.
