    WiFi hotspot with no internet


    I want to use the WiFi hotspot to create a LAN without the unreasonable demand that I have an internet connection to enable this feature.


    Without an uplink, the WiFi hotspot switch is greyed out for no reason at all, and I'm informed it's because there's no internet connection to share. I'm not trying to share an internet connection, I just want some local devices to be on the same WiFi network.


    I know it works, because if I briefly connect the Windows 10 device to a smartphone WiFi hotspot (And I have to enable data on the phone !?$.&#&!!! darn it!!?) I can then turn on the Windows 10 hotspot then disconnect from the phone.

    Then I can use the windows 10 wifi hotspot and connect other devices to it. "There's no internet connection to share, but your mobile hotspot is still on".


    I don't have a clue why anyone thinks a wifi hotspot is just about "sharing an internet connection."


    Is there some way I can enable the hotspot without the ridiculous demand I connect to the internet in order to switch it on?

    :)

    No internet / wifi from hotspot


    So I have a Surface Pro 4 running windows 10 was working perfect this morning on my normal wifi. I pack it up to go somewhere and when I try to connect it to an iphone or iPad hotspot I just got it connected but with no internet. Both the ipad and iphone were getting internet as I'm writing this from my ipad and doing things on my phone.

    I tried resetting all of them and turning hotspot, bluetooth, wifi on and off.. I've had problems connecting pc's to apple hotspots before, normally just rebooting everything and toggling hotspot on/off does the trick.

    I started reading some internet troubleshooting guides, one suggested I reset my network settings on my phone.

    I did this - now the surface pro 4 won't even connect to it. It will see the wifi network but will not connect.

    The ipad it connects but does not give me internet access.

    I also tried my friends iphone hotspot to just make sure it wasn't something with my devices and it did the same thing.

    Any ideas?

    WiFi hotspot with no internet

    Extend Range of ASUS Wifi GO Hotspot?

    I'm using a cheap Blurex repeater, It detects and uses the signal from my motherboard, but broadcasts a signal with no internet connectivity.

    The thing works fine with normal Wifi, so what's different about the motherboard's hotspot?
