Windows 10: Phone and hotspot with my new computer Asus Vivobook . Help

I am in a rural area and have used Hotspot from my cell to connect to the internet. I bought a new Asus with Windows 11 and cannot find a setting to allow it to work. It shows I'm connected yet when I try to open a browser it will not connect. Says I need to go into settings. I have tried for MANY hours to find what is wrong. Help

Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

I think you have already answered both of the other points I would have checked so I have nothing else useful to suggest -
- Your computer can detect other 2.4GHz networks/hotspots
- Other computers can detect your phone's 2.4GHz hotspot

I have deliberately altered some Windows settings to hide unwanted local networks [not just stop any connection to them but hide them from appearing in the list of available networks]. But you have not been taking similar measures or you would have said so.

As a final check, see if your phone's mobile hotspot appears in the list of detected networks using
NirSoft WiFiInfoView

Best of luck,
