Windows 10: Ethernet connection problem when Wifi/Hotspot turns on.

Hey guys,

Since the June17 update I have a very specific issue. I use a LAN cable for internet connection and I always used to hotspot my laptop connection to my my phone without any problems. Since the update, when I turn my laptop wifi/hotspot feature on, the connection on my phone is fine but my browsers on my laptop won’t load some pages (sometimes no pages at all). I’ve seen one person post the same issue yesterday but nothing else online.

Can someone help?

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

 

I need to connect both Ethernet and WiFi to a Hotspot.

Thanks for your response.
I don't wish to use any kind of wifi adapter on the PC due to speed issue. I want it to have the same internet speed as the Laptop hotspot. So if there's a way I could Bridge connection between the hotspot and PC and still have wifi access for other wifi enabled device, I would be very happy.

Hi there

very easy -- I've made several posts on this but nobody seems to want to try this

1) Use an ETHERNET-->WIFI bridge by setting up an older router to ethernet wifi bridge.

How to extend your network with a Wireless Bridge | D-Link

2) you can now connect up to 4 (or however many ethernet ports the bridging router has) devices via lan cable to the bridging router.

3) the connected devices will be using their internal LAN adapters.

4) You can then use the 5GHhz band for the bridging router - this will give a max speed of 433 Mb/s -- not quite 1GB/s but plenty fast enough.

Your standard Wifi hotspot should still be available for standard wifi connections.

If you have an older spare router that doesn't have ethernet-->wifi bridge settings you could possibly use DD-WRT t get it working - but most newer routers have wifi--ethernet bridge connectivity in their setup.

I use the ethernet--wifi bridge method for connecting my NAS box to my network -- works perfectly both for serving multi-media and loading files from laptop etc etc.
