    connecting to the internet using my phones hotspot


    i recently got a new laptop it is an asus with windows 10. when i first got it i was able to connect to the internet using my phones hotspot, i was able to do this for a few weeks, then all of a sudden it didn't even give me the option to choose hotspot for me to connect to the internet. what happened? can you help me figure out how to get connected to the internet again using my phones hotspot?

    :)

    No internet / wifi from hotspot


    So I have a Surface Pro 4 running windows 10 was working perfect this morning on my normal wifi. I pack it up to go somewhere and when I try to connect it to an iphone or iPad hotspot I just got it connected but with no internet. Both the ipad and iphone were getting internet as I'm writing this from my ipad and doing things on my phone.

    I tried resetting all of them and turning hotspot, bluetooth, wifi on and off.. I've had problems connecting pc's to apple hotspots before, normally just rebooting everything and toggling hotspot on/off does the trick.

    I started reading some internet troubleshooting guides, one suggested I reset my network settings on my phone.

    I did this - now the surface pro 4 won't even connect to it. It will see the wifi network but will not connect.

    The ipad it connects but does not give me internet access.

    I also tried my friends iphone hotspot to just make sure it wasn't something with my devices and it did the same thing.

    Any ideas?

    Mobile hotspot Connected but no internet access

    Got it.

    This usually happen if Internet Connection Sharing was not enabled. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Network Connections.
    • Please note that at this point, your hotspot connection should be showing here
    • Right-click your internet source, which should be Ethernet.
    • Select Properties.
    • Click Sharing.
    • Check the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection option.
    • Under Home networking connection drop-down menu select your
      hotspot connection name      .
    • Click OK.

    Please advised as necessary.

    connecting to the internet using my phones hotspot

    internet connection

    When I connect to a free wifi hotspot at some public location from my phone, tablet or computer, I usually have to follow the following steps:

    • Go to the device's wifi settings (on the phone tap Settings > Wifi),
    • Tap the wifi hotspot you want to connect with
    • When it shows "connected", open up the device's browser,
    • Tap the browser refresh button
    • This usually automatically brings up some kind of hotspot agreement website, Tap through any of the "I agree" statements you see
    • Then the device can use the hotspot's internet connection.
