  1. "Wireless Area Connection" option missing preventing from hotspot usage


    I have Windows 10 and I wanted to use it as a router. I went to wireless network connection status -> properties ->sharing tab ->I checked the box for "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection", and I chose "Local Area Connection 2" from a drop-down list. I should've set it on "Wireless Area Connection", instead of "Local Area Connection 2" but the "Wireless Area Connection" option is not there and hence I am unable to use the hotspot as whichever device I connect it to shows "connected without internet" How can I switch to wireless area connect

    :)

  2. Data Usage In Hotspot

    Click Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Data usage

    Click in the list box for 'Show settings for'

    Choose the connection

    Click View usage per app

    That should show you data usage for a particular mobile hotspot connection.

  3. 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.

  4. "Wireless Area Connection" option missing preventing from hotspot usage

    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
