    Device shows connected to WiFi, not actually connected


    Device is an HP Pavilion Laptop 15-cw1xxx. This device was previously connected to a secured home wifi network with no issues for the last few months. This morning it shows that it is connected and secured to the network but every application says no internet connection. A different HP laptop connects to the network with no issues. This device has done this once before at my workplace but I was able to switch to a different wifi network. I don’t have that ability at home.

    :)

    Project connect to wireless device issue


    Hi Kari,

    Thanks for the reply.

    My tv is definitely connected to my wifi; I've tried restarting the tv, and disconnecting/reconnecting to my wifi, but the tv still isn't showing up in the list of devices when trying to use 'project'.

    I actually had issues with this before, but after a significant update about a week ago, I noticed that it was showing up in the devices list. I'm unsure what could have changed tonight.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions? Device shows connected to WiFi, not actually connected :) Is there maybe some way to 'clear' (for lack of a better word) any saved devices on my laptop so I can start fresh with project?

  3. Wifi turns off automatically when a device is connected to my hotspot


    Whenever a device is connected to my hotspot the wifi is turning off automatically thereby stopping the hotspot.

    To turn the Windows 10 hotspot on, in first step I have turned on the Wireless Network Connection as shown in the below image.

    After that I did following steps in Command Prompt(Admin) for hotspot
    1. netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyWiFi key=mypassword
    2. netsh wlan start hostednetwork

    In netsh wlan show hostednetwork command, it shows the hotspot had started successfully as shown in the below image.

    But whenever a device is connected to this hotspot the wifi is turning off automatically thereby stopping the hotspot.

    I have unchecked the Power management option i.e, Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    All driver are updated to the latest versions.

    Please help
