  2. Laptop wont connect to Android hotspot 5ghz but does on 2.4ghz

    good evening,

    I have a problem where i cant connect to 5Ghz hotspot from my samsung 21. It is set up as 5Ghz on my phone but says unable to connect to network. If i set my phone as 2.4Ghz it will connect fine. I have ruled out the phone as i can connect my works phone to the 5Ghz hotspot. When i try set up my works phone as the 5Ghz hot spot i get the same issue on the laptop. I have tried everything i can think of. My laptop does connect to 5Ghz wifi as this is what i use in my home to game. It just seems to be hotspot that it wont allow. Below is a list of what i have tried.

    Forgetting the hotspot
    Flight mode
    Manually adding the wireless connection
    Changing network adapters to show 5Ghz connections only
    Updating windows to latest update
    Network adapters are updated


    One thing i did do that worked the first time was open command prompt and do these commands below

    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ip reset
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns

    Then i restarted laptop and it connected to 5Ghz hotspot. Then after 30 minutes it disconnected and i have not been able to connect again, even after repeating the above steps. Please help!
    Thank you

  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.

    But whenever a device is connected to this hotspot the wifi is turning off automatically thereby stopping the hotspot.

    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

  4. My hotspot wont show up on my pc and when it does it says cannot connect to wifi

    Error "The wifi network .... didn't respond" when using PC as mobile hotspot

    Original title:- Use my PC as a mobile hotspot

    When my PC has a cellular data connection, I want to turn it into a mobile hotspot to share my connection with other devices.

    To do this I follow these steps.


    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet
      > Mobile hotspot.

    • Select Edit, enter a new network name and password, and then select
      Save.

    • Turn on the control under Mobile hotspot to share your cellular data connection.
    After that I enter my Password to my nokia lumia 925 phone and try to connect to my new wifi network.

    But it says "The wifi network .... didn't respond"

    • I enter my password correctly.
    • Turn of my wifi in pc
