Wi-Fi issue - Solution!

My RG477M would detect my phone's hotspot fine, but every connection attempt got stuck at "Obtaining IP address" → "Connecting..." → then failed with "Network disconnected." This started randomly, no settings changed on either device, and it used to connect fine before.

Fix: Toggled Airplane Mode ON for 10 seconds on the phone (the one broadcasting the hotspot), then OFF, and reconnected the RG477M. Worked instantly.

Probably phone's hotspot radio stuck in a bad state.

Turning it on and off again should always be the first troubleshooting step.
