    Wifi hotspot stopped working AGAIN


    Was working fine, devices could connect no problem. Then it stopped....devices could see the hotspot but could not connect. From a suggestion, I completely removed AVS security and hotspot started working fine. Now out of the blue stopped working again (I did not reinstall AVS )

    Could it be setting in defender or ????????

    :)

  2. Wifi turns off automatically when a device is connected to my hotspot


    Whenever a device is connected to my hotspot the wifi is turning off automatically thereby stopping the hotspot.

    To turn the Windows 10 hotspot on, in first step I have turned on the Wireless Network Connection as shown in the below image.

    After that I did following steps in Command Prompt(Admin) for hotspot
    1. netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyWiFi key=mypassword
    2. netsh wlan start hostednetwork

    In netsh wlan show hostednetwork command, it shows the hotspot had started successfully as shown in the below image.

    But whenever a device is connected to this hotspot the wifi is turning off automatically thereby stopping the hotspot.

    I have unchecked the Power management option i.e, Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    All driver are updated to the latest versions.

    Please help

    PC stops recognising wifi hotspot

    I use a mobile wifi hotspot device for internet, and also sometimes as a back up I use my phone's wifi hotspot. I can usually connect these wirelessly to my HP desktop all-in-one computer, which is running Windows 10.

    However, sometimes the internet will be working fine, and then all of a sudden the internet will become unavailable, and the wifi hotspot device will drop off the list of internet servers. Also if I try to connect my phone's internet at this time it won't
    pick up my phone's internet either. In fact, sometimes it won't even list any of the neighbours' wifi either (there's usually four or five). To get it working again I have to restart the computer.

    I suspect it is to do with the computer, not the wifi devices (because when it happens, no wifi devices will work, and restarting the computer fixes it).

    Any help appreciated.
