I’m hoping this is something intuitively obvious to everybody else, that I’m missing…
Moto g7 Power, Visible (which is Verizon towers)
In THEORY, I should be able to tether this phone to my laptop and get whatever capability Visible has. I can’t.
Tether, fire up Firefox or Chrome, and it sits. It takes forever for “establishing secure connection “ to go away. Usually, it fails and I get:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to testmy.net. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
The website owners are GOOGLE! Or testmy.net, or pretty much ANY SITE.
This afternoon, from CHROME I got:
This site can’t be reachedtestmy.net unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
When it DOES connect, EVERYTHING is slow. Put in an address and it sometimes says it’s “performing TLS handshake” with somebody. Then it eventually connects or fails.
It’s NOT THE LAPTOP. When I connect to the house wireless THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. When I connect through a DIFFERENT cell phone ON THE SAME VISIBLE NETWORK, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. My wife has a Moto G7 and HERS works DRASTICALLY better than mine.
We also have a cheap ZTE Blade A7 Prime (again, Visible) for a data phone and IT WORKS FINE.
None of them are BLINDING fast, but MY G7 totally sucks.
And turning on the hotspot isn't much, if ANY, better...
WHAT am I likely to have set wrong or running on my G7 that’s causing such garbage performance?
