Failed to connect to the hotspot of Raspberry PI

Tue May 14, 2024 6:17 pm

Hello,
I need help with setting up my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as a hotspot. My goal is to eventually use its monitor mode functionality, but currently, I'm having difficulties even with basic hotspot setup.
The access point on my Raspberry Pi is activated. The hotspot SSID is visible on my devices. When attempting to connect, devices prompt for the password, but fail to establish a connection despite entering the correct password. On my laptop it says No Internet, secured. On a smartphone - Saved/Configuration error. Any suggestions what might have caused the issue?

hostapd.conf
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=MyHotspot123
hw_mode=g
channel=7
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=SomePassword
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

Troubleshooting attempted:
Restarted hostapd and dnsmasq services.
Checked the logs, nothing relevant
P.S. I use Kali Linux
