Windows 10: Internet Conection Issue when other device is connected to my hotspot

As I mentioned in subject, I am trying to share my connection to my mobile using mobile hotspot feature in Windows 11. But as soon as I connect to this wifi on my mobile, my connection in Windows goes down.

No internet using Windows 10 Hotspot feature

Hello,
I’m experiencing an issue with the mobile Hotspot feature on Windows 10 (latest version 2H20).
I want to share my Ethernet or cellular connection (modem within my Elitebook) via wireless to smartphone and else.
When I turn on the hotspot, I’m able to connect my devices to it without issues, the IP lease is valid and obtained correctly. On the network panel it’s showed internet connectivity on the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual adapter, but unfortunately no internet connection on any connected device.
I tried to reinstall all the device adapters with no luck, disabled firewall and AVG but still no luck. The issue seems to be present since 10 days and before I remember to be able to use the hotspot without issues.
Any suggestion or advices?
Thank you!

 

wifi hotspot connection issues

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Let us follow these steps one by one to check if that makes any difference.

Step 1: You may run the Network Adapter troubleshooter to check if that helps.

• Type Troubleshoot in the Search bar of your PC and open the Troubleshoot settings.
  
• Scroll down the right pane and select ‘Network Adapter’ and click on ‘Run Troubleshooter’.
  
• The PC will then start checking for the possible errors and will possibly detect the issue.
  

Once this is done, restart the PC and check the wifi hotspot connectivity.

Step 2: If the issue persists, then you may want to
update the Network driver and check the status.

Step 3: You may also want to change the adapter settings.

• Open Mobile Hotspot settings on your PC.
  
• Press ‘Windows key + I’ to open Settings and go to ‘Network and Internet’.
  
• Scroll down the left pane and select ‘Mobile Hotspot’.
  
• Go to ‘Related Settings’ from the right pane and click on ‘Change adapter options’.
  
• Identify your mobile hotspot adapter, right click and go to ‘Properties’.
  
• Open Sharing tab and Uncheck “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection”.
  

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
