Windows 10: Hotspot working. but no internet

Hi all,I have been using my PC as a mobile hotspot for a couple months now. However, recently the hotspot stops working after about 20-30 minutes. It still says it is working on my PC, and my phone still shows that the hotspot is online, but there is no internet connection on my phone or other devices connected to the hotspot. The internet of my PC is working fine though.Any ideas on how to solve this?

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?
