Windows 10: [Windows 10] Mobile Hotspot not detected by Roku devices

Hi there, after much mucking about I managed to get my Windows 10 Mobile hotspot working reliably Yay

My only issue now is that none of my Roku devices seem to be able to detect it. I have connected using a iPad, a Playstation 4 and a couple phones but for some reason it isn't discoverable by my Roku devices.

Are there any channel settings I can tweak. It appears all I can do is change the network name and password.


Any thoughts would be great. I used a 3rd party hotspot app and that did work so it's a Windows setting that needs to be tweaked for sure.


Thanks.

Jason

Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Not working

Hi,

Your Bluetooth connection may be enabled which prevents you from setting up your mobile hotspot. To have this addressed, we suggest turning off the Bluetooth connection and see if you're able to set up your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Devices.
• Click Bluetooth, then toggle it OFF.

Once done, check if you can now turn on your computer's mobile hotspot. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
