    As mentioned in the title, each time I start my laptop hotspot it generates another 2 Guest Networks or more, one of them being the name I actually gave it: "Netus Mobile 2" and the other one being "DIRECT-OGWORK-PCmsrV".

  2. 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.

  3. Connected to a guest network instead of my home network

    Hello Scott,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that you want to switch from a Guest Network to Home Network.

    As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check whether the network discovery is turned to on.

    Follow the below steps.

    Step 1: Type network in the search box and choose
    Network and Sharing Center in the list to open it.

    Step 2: Select Change advanced sharing settings to move on.

    Step 3: Choose Turn on network discovery or
    Turn off network discovery
    in the settings, and tap Save changes.

    Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
