Windows 10: Windows 11 services not working when using wifi but do when using phone hotspot

Hi all,I have an acer nitro 5 with windows 11.Connected via wifi to Australian NBN through TPG.I had some issues with windows services not working last week and had to reinstall windows several times before it worked properly as windows continuously said it wasn't connected to the internet but task bar says it was and internet worked fine for downloads etc though patchy..I ended up fixing it by using my phone's hotspot which allowed the windows services to connect properly and run the updates and sign into windows account, upon reconnecting to home wifi, windows services disconnects and you ca

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?

 

Blackberry Q10 wifi Hotspot Hidden


I just recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 (clean install) to see what it has to offer, and so far everything works fine. Except last evening during a class I teach I needed a wifi connection so I enabled the Hotspot feature my BB Q10. But its broadcast SSID was not showing as an available wifi network. There was a strong Hidden Network appearing on the list, but I did not want to try it as I was in a public environment. A student in the class enabled their iPhone's hotspot which I could see and used that instead. The same student (and others) could see my Blackberry SSID on their phones.

When I got home I checked with my wife's iPad and she could see the BB Hotspot SSID and successfully logged into it. She then enabled the Hotspot feature on her iPhone and its SSID was displayed on my Lenovo laptop's available networks.

I then manually typed in the SSID name into the strong Hidden Network displayed on the available networks list and I could then connect to it without problems. I also used a network sniffing tool on he same laptop (inSSIDer 4) and it displays the Q10 SSID being broadcast and is not a hidden network. But it just will NOT display its identity on the laptop's wifi list of "available networks".

- The Q10 is broadcasting its SSID as other devices see it
- The laptop sees the SSID using the inSSIDer utility and it does not appear to be hidden
- I can see and access other phone's hotspot SSID's with the same laptop
- My list of available networks shows the BB SSID as as Hidden Network (without a name)
- Everything worked fine with Windows 8.1 on the same laptop.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks *Smile
