Robot Vacuum Wireless Hotspot Issues

Hello,

Did anyone experience the issue that the robot vacuum is not enabling the hotspot ? How could you solve that ? An hardware issue (wireless module or the board of the robot), something related with the firmware or the Router ? My robot  was working fine, I changed wifi password so deleted the robot from the mobile app (weback) and tried to add/pair with the mobile app (weback) again after pushing power button 5 seconds (reset wifi connection) (robot says connecting to wifi please wait and the wifi icon blinking) but robot s hotspot connection (ROBOT ###) does not seem online in the wifi list. I even scanned with wifi scanners (netspot, wifi analyzer), tried with 3 different phones but seems like wifi module is not working or the board not enabling hotspot mode. 2-3 weeks ago Robot updated its firmware maybe something related with it) I m not sure.  I dont think it s about the phone or the router because hotspot connection doesnt seem online in the wifi list at all. I tried many times, even removed and replugged battery but no success. ( Robot doesnt have an hard-reset method manufacturer said. Just power on - off switch )

Robot working fine without wifi by the way, it keeps sweeping the house manually just with the power button.

Not really all the vacuum has the same problem. I use iRobot which includes "spinning around", constantly recharging or not charging at all, and moving in strange directions. The device maker iRobot has acknowledged its update had caused problems for "a limited number" of its i7 and s9 Roomba models.
