  1. USB hotspot on Windows


    Hi guys. I’ve looked everywhere for a solution to this but can’t find anything. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts here.

    I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max on a USB hotspot to my Windows 10 desktop PC over 5G. I’m in the UK on Three, and my plan is unlimited, uncapped data. I’ve already checked with Three and they’ve said it’s not any “fair use” restriction on their side.

    Anyway I hop onto Steam as an example. I start downloading a game and all is going well for about 5-10 minutes, we’re downloading at ~35Mb/s and then it suddenly drops to 0. If I run a speed test on my phone, I’m still getting 400+Mbps, so my phone still has a strong connection. After around 30 seconds, it’ll suddenly shoot back up to 35Mb/s for a few minutes, rinse repeat.

    Things I’ve already tried are:

    • Gone into the power management of the whole PC and set it to Ultra Performance
    • Gone into the power management settings for the “Apple USB Ethernet Adapter” and turned off ‘allow my pc to turn off this device to save power’.
    • Tried every USB port on my PC, both 2.0 and above
    • Tried a different cable

    One thing I have noticed is that it says the maximum bandwidth of the network connection is 100Mbps, although the USB-A to lightning cable has standard USB 2.0 speeds of 480Mbps. It obviously achieves higher than this because for Steam to download at 35Mb/s would be 280Mbps, so I think Windows is reporting that incorrectly.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why the PC might be doing this? If I do the same on my MacBook Pro it doesn’t do this, it’s only on my Windows PCs.

    Mobile Hotspot via USB tethered cell phone

    Hi Phattie,

    Just to clarify, are you trying to share the internet connection received by your Windows 10 laptop to other devices you have like Xbox? If so, we suggest to enable Mobile Hotspot feature on your Windows 10 by performing the following steps below:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Network & Internet.
    • Click Mobile Hotspot tab on the left pane.
    • Turn on the "Share my Internet connection with other devices".
    • If you want to edit network info, click Edit.
    • Check your other device if it will detect your Windows 10 Mobile hotspot feature.

    Let us know how it goes.
