We can't set up mobile hotspot.

Hi George,

To isolate the issue, we'd like to know the following:

• Are you using a personal internet connection or an office connection?
• Have you tried connecting your iPhone directly to the WiFi?
• Have you tried connecting other device to the mobile hotspot?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, kindly check the troubleshooting steps provided by FrancoSmit
on this

We look forward to your response.

Thank you.

Mobile Hotspot

We appreciate that you have tried the suggested steps above. Have you tried to connect other devices to the mobile hotspot on your PC?

Since the issue is still the same, we suggest that you uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver and check if this will resolve the issue. Follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device manager.
  
• 
  Locate for Network adaptor and click on it expand it.
  
• 
  Right click on the device and click on
  uninstall.
  
• 
  Once you are done uninstalling the driver, restart the computer. It will automatically install the generic network adapter driver.
  

We can also update the network adapter driver. Skip step 3 from the above steps and right click on the device and click on update.

Feel free to post back for any updates.
