Can you untick it on the left and tick again?



Also you cannot share Internet Connection to the same Ethernet interface as it is ticked at the moment.


Share your connection from Ethernet

and blow when is not greyed out you should choose AirPort


Let me know if this is still greyed out after the un/ticking.

Also are you sure you want to share all? as per your screenshot above.
This is not a good practice. Shar only what is needed and untick the rest.

not a problem


Your Android device probably remembers the network as unsecured one and tries to connect to it this way.

On Android you need to go to wifi settings and forget this network.

And try to connect again.


Also if you can restart both devices after you removed the network before connecting it again.

Another way would be to change the WiFi network name slightly so Android connectss to a new one.

If that makes sense.


Let me know if any problems.

After some issues I finally managed to make it xD but you´ll neva guess what the solution was! i was so desperate and tried everything you told me.

You know when you can change your password there was written that if you want 40 bits you need a 5 caracter password and for more bits you need 13 caracters or so.

I thought it was minimum 5 so of course I put a longer one to be more secure. But it showed me disconnected on my phone...i was at my end...and then i saw this and jus deleted a few letters of my password to make it up to 5 and it worked then 😀


Thank you very much for your help 🙂 and patience
