    WI-FI Hotspot not working


    i apologize for the errors that i will make first.


    So, i have a big problem with my hotspot, i can activate it of course, but i can't connect my phone, it stays blocked when it has to pick the ip adress. So i tried first to know if the problem was my phone, but nobody else cound connect to my hotspot...


    So that was from the pc, i tried basic things first, such as changing the name, the password, and nothing changed, so i tried next to reset the network card, and didn't changed too, so i checked into the settings of my card, and actually enabled the sharing, putting the right network, but it does still not work... and to finish, i tried : "ip config /release" and "ipconfig /renew" and rebooting, but still not working... so i'm kinda desperate... i also tried getting new drivers with windows update, but same result :c


    I would sincerly hug the person who will help me solving this problem c:


    My computer is a Lenovo Legion Y520-15IKBN

  2. Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


    I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

    1. Launch Control Panel.
    2. Click "Network and Internet."
    3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
    4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
    5. Click "Wireless Properties."
    6. Click the Security tab.
    7. Check "Show characters."
    8. Enter the password in "Network security key."
    Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

    Can't create Wi-Fi hotspot


    So, I was trying to set up my Windows 10 machine for use as a wi-fi hotspot and was unsuccessful in getting a solution:



    I have since traced the possible problem to a lack of a "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter_03." However, solutions such as clicking "update driver software" and uninstalling my network adapters and re-booting, have proved futile. Please help me figure out how I can get this driver so I can use my machine as a wi-fi hotspot. All this worked fine before I upgraded this machine from Windows 7. *Sleepy

    Hotspot 2.0 Wi-Fi networks

    Hi Eric,

    Hotspot 2.0 networks are a new wireless standard designed to make it easier and more secure to connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots. As you move around different locations and if this feature is enabled, your device will connect you to available public hotspots
    automatically. These hotspots are also more secure since encryption is mandatory.

    For more information, you may refer to the following link: Sign
    up and connect to Hotspot 2.0 networks in Windows 10 Mobile
    .

    If you’re having problems getting connected to a Wi‑Fi network on your mobile device, we suggest that you check the following link: Fix
    Wi‑Fi connection issues in Windows 10 Mobile
    .

    If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to post a reply.
