    Accidentally set the Ethernet sharing properties, and I can't change it. What should I do?


    My internet router was broken, which I solved by using an ANKER C-to-Ethernet cable. However, I accidentally set the home networking connection as 'Wi-Fi', instead of 'Ethernet' in the Ethernet sharing properties. Careless of this mistake, I first turned on hotspot on 'Wi-Fi'.

    ethernet properties

    Hi,

    Based on the details provided, it is possible that your network adapter was blocking you to access the ethernet
    properties. We recommend that you uninstall your network adapter and scan for hardware changes. To do this, follow these steps:

    Uninstall network adapter:


    • In the search bar, type
      Device Manager
      and hit
      Enter.

    • Select the name of your network adapter and right-click.

    • Choose
      Uninstall.

    • Select
      "Delete the driver software for this device".

    • Click on
      Uninstall.

    Scan for hardware changes:


    • In the search bar, type
      Device Manager
      and hit
      Enter.

    • Choose
      Action.

    • Select
      "Scan for hardware changes".

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
