Windows 10: Phone is connected without ethernet to mobile hotspot after the phone has been closed for a...

I am using my computer to act as a mobile hotspot for my android phone, the computer is connected with ethernet and has a wifi card. When I use the mobile hotspot feature. Everything works fine except when I close my phone for a some time and open it later, the wifi is still connected but it says I am connected without ethernet. The power management setting for both adapter has been set to never power off and the power settings for the computer are to always stay awake.

New phone, slow shared ethernet hotspot


I bought a new phone (Huawei P9 Lite) some weeks ago and changed my phone provider. When I try to share its internet to my laptop via ethernet hotspot, the speed of the connection is quite slow.
I used to have a Nokia Lumia 925 and the internet would go quite well. For example I could play online videogames with around 60-70 ms. Now sharing the new phone's connection I can browse and stuff, but if I try to play an online game I have more than 100 ms and I noticed that sometimes the connection drops.

Do you guys think it's a problem of the phone provider (which means I can't do much about it..) or do you have any suggestion on how to solve it?

Thank you!

 

Win10 computer & Hotspot on Android phone - Security Key rejected

Denis,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried something that I should have early in the troubleshooting process and placed the AT&T SIM from the LG K30 in an old ZTE Maven2 that I had lying around. Instant secured hotspot was provided for the Win10 laptop. Either the K30 is piece of junk or the Android Pi that the seller put in as a system does not allow hotspot secured connections. In any case the problem is definitely with the phone and not the Win10 computer so I will close this out.

Thanks for your time,

EW

 

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,
Denis
