  1. I can only connect to wifi via my phone's hotspot - DELL XPS9570 - Windows 10


    Greetings. I am currently working from a DELL XPS9570 using Windows 10. I am encountering a strange and suspicious issue. While working from home, I have no issue connecting to my home wifi. However, while I am at the office, I cannot connect to the internet unless I do it through my phone's hotspot. All other available wifi networks are unable to connect. I have verified that my coworkers have no issue connecting to the same networks while at work from their laptops. This issue has been plaguing me for quite some time. It seems to come up with any Wifi network that isn't my home wifi or my

  2. 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?

  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.

    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
