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!

 

Making a hotspot from Ethernet connection doesn't work

I tried several times unsuccessfully to make an internet hotspot for the ethernet connection on my laptop. I need further advice.

Background:

• The ethernet connection is working perfectly.
  
• I want to make that connection an internet hotspot.
  

What I have tried so far.

1. I made the connection shared under its properties
   
2. I tried to make the ethernet connection a hotspot, by editing the network as per the screenshot I shared, but to no success.
   
3. I uninstalled the driver under Device Manager and restarted the laptop. It didn't work as well.
   

Questions for clarity

1. Is it possible to have an ethernet connection as a hotspot? Will it be through Bluetooth? Or if you could please explain, how will other devices such as cell phones connect to the hotspot, without a cable?
   
2. What I want to understand is; how will other devices get access to the internet connection on a laptop, which is connected through an ethernet cable.
   
3. What is a virtual router? Can it work similarly to routers that distribute/share Wi-Fi connections?
   
4. Is there no software on the market that may be used to serve as a virtual router?

Not able to find hotspot while sharing ethernet connection.

Hi,

this week i got a new laptop(Acer aspire 7 - A715-42G). In my room, the only way I can connect to internet is via Ethernet cable, so I need to create hotspot to access internet wirelessly with my phone(Realme 6). The hotspot worked well for couple of days, but it changed recently. There might have been a windows update, but I'm not sure. Now, I can turn on the hotspot while I'm connected to ethernet, but my phone can't find it. But when I connect my laptop to WiFi, the hotspot works just fine.

I tried this with different ethernet connections but got the same results. Otherwise, my ethernet works fine.

I tried everything listed in the first reply here(reinstalling drivers, checking hotspot settings,...), but nothing changed:

Redirecting

I still can't find the hotspot when I'm sharing ethernet connection. (A friend of mine with the same laptop has the same problem)

Can you please help me?
