    Metered connection question


    Download updates over metered connections (extra charge may apply) What does this mean? I'm on Hughesnet and was wondering if I should set it to metered or, just turn off automatic updates? Thanks! *Smile

    Can't Connect Bluetooh device on metered connection.

    Hi Riderhood,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

    To assist you better, please provide few details.


    • Are you able to pair the Bluetooth device on non-metered connection?

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    I suggest you to remove the metered connection to non-metered connection and check if you are able to pair the Bluetooth speaker.

    Refer to the below link:

    Hi Sayyid,

    Since you're using a SIM to be able to use the internet, Windows 10 automatically set your connection as metered if your Internet service provider limits the data you can use.

    You can turn the Set as metered connection option to OFF by following these steps:

    • Click the Internet access icon from the Taskbar.
    • Click the network where you are connected, then click Properties.
    • Locate and toggle the Set as metered connection to OFF.

    Let us know if the message still appears after following the above mentioned steps.

    Regards.

    Metered connection question

    DOWNLOAD OVER METERED CONNECTIONS

    Joseph please read my question more carefully.

    My question was not about WiFi. I know how to do that. My question was about WIRED CONNECTIONS. I do not want to use the Registry changes which I am not confident doing. So I want to know that if I do this
    Settings/Devices/Check Download Over Metered Connections, will that affect the wired connection making it metered.
