    USB tethering, every time I plug in my phone it shows a new network, is this normal?


    I am using my phone to connect to the internet. Hence tethering by connecting my phone to the computer: I get 300G monthly via my phone.However, every time I do so the network number goes up, first network 3, then network 4, then 5,6... Is this normal? I am wondering how far this will go on: at one point network 256????? Is there a way to make it stick to just one? Make it always go, for example at network 3?Thank youOS: Windows 10 Pro ver. 22H2 OS build 19045.3448

    Usb tethering of android phone creates new network location.

    Every time i reconnect my android phone to my pc via usb tether it creates a new network location even though the device has not changed. is there a way to configure my pc so that it recognises this device each time it is connected without having to create
    a new network location?.

    Windows 10 adds a new network every time I tether my phone

    I've been needing to use my phone to use the internet on my PC for the past couple days. I've been tethering it via USB to use it, But every time I do so, Windows adds a new network. After I unplug my phone I can't see the other network in the list. I'm
    on 14 right now. Will it get to a point where this causes issues?

    USB tethering, every time I plug in my phone it shows a new network, is this normal?

    USB Tethering creating new names each time.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem. And it seems to be a universal one. Stack Exchange has a solution:

    Prevent Windows From Creating New Network Names when Tethering with Android

    The only downside is that the network icon in the notification area doesn't work properly. Is there a way to stop adding new names AND make the network icon work?

    Regarding your questions:

    • Windows 10 is updated
    • drivers are updated
    • This issue always occured. (started using usb tethering one week ago)

    Regards
