  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

  3. Can’t connect to wifi with correct password or WPS

    I'm setting up a mini PC and for the wifi setup it has a comfast wifi adapter, I was unable to connect to my wifi using my password but was able to connect using the WPS button on the modem. Wifi was working fine for a few hours. I stepped away from the PC and when I returned wifi was disconnected. Trying the WPS button didn't work this time and I was prompted to enter the wifi password. When I enter it I get the verifying and connecting message but then i get can't connect to this network message. I am entering the correct password but it is not connecting.

    I have tried the following:

    1. Update the network drivers
    2. Retart my modem and PC
    3. Connect via WPS button again

    Windows cannot save WiFi credentials but can connect, WPS, WPA2E and Hotspot fail

    WiFi hotspots won't connect on Win 8 phone

    My new, fully updated BLU Jr LTE connects to my home WiFi but will not connect to any publis WiFi hotspots that I have tried.

    It sees a strong signal, occasionally tells me the cert is invalid ( I select "Continue to this site") but will not make a connection.

    This has happened with a McDonalds hotspot, a public library hotspot and a public hospital visitor hotspot.

    I have tried WiFi Sense on and off and opened the browser to see if I was prompted for credential all to no avail.

    Any suggestions?
