Hi,
I am totally new here and just joined to ask this question. I am hoping someone can help me please.
I have a 9 month old Lenovo Windows 10 laptop. I use my phone's hotspot to access the internet on my laptop. I have always had a trouble free experience and the connection has always been super fast.
As of yesterday, when using the internet on my laptop via phone hotspot, pages are taking forever to load or don't load at all. The laptop itself is working fine and as normal, it's just anything internet related that isn't working. The laptop in-built troubleshooter isn't throwing up any issues.
I tried:
• Restoring the laptop to an earlier restore point.
• Using another network sim card in my phone.
• Using someone else's mobile hotspot.
• Factory resetting my phone.
The issue still persists.
The only thing I haven't tried is connecting my laptop to someone's home broadband. That would help determine whether the issue is with the laptop or with the phone / hotspot connection.
I am at a total loss and would be deeply grateful if someone could help me through this.
Many thanks.

Ok, I've been searching, reading and still can't seem to find the answer. This really should be easier! In any case I need some help before I lose my mind...LOL
Viewsonic Tablet: Android 2.2
Rom: VEGAn-TAB -V 1.0.0B5.1
Trying to tether to to WM 6.5 using WMWifiRouter 2.0.
My Viewsonic tablet detects the ad-hoc mode with without any problem, connects and gets an IP address.
The problem, I can't seem to access the internet through this ad-hoc connection.
I've used the same setup on various laptops without any issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First thing I would check is to see if you can tether any other device through the phone - it may not be the tablet at fault. I run almost the same config, except I use the HTC Wifi Router on my phone, and I have no issues getting out.

I have no problem tethering other devices. I've tethered windows XP , and Vista PCs, even an Iphone. I don't really think it's the tablet either but I can't think of anything else to try.
I don't have a WiFi connection at home, but the PC's net connection is pretty fast. My mobile data plan is a limited one, so I can't download large apps and games using it. For that reason I wanted to reverse-tether. But till now, I couldn't even manage to just 'simple' tether the phone. When I enable tethering, NO NEW CONNECTION or whatever comes. I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64. Any idea? I tried un-rooting and that to doesn't solve the problem. The drivers are already installed, without them, I wouldn't have successfully patched the phone's ROM earlier.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Any help anyone?

Install connectify on your laptop having wifi or buy a router but remember android does not support adhoc connectivity on most of the devices so do this only on windows 7.
PM me if you need more info because i have already faced and resolved such situation.
Hello,
This may sound weird but I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this problem. I don't want to invest on a wifi router just yet. It was pretty easy to share my laptop's internet connection with my phone when I was on Windows 7. But ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, some of my device drivers are messed up. I've tried installing multiple drivers (one at a time of course) to get my laptop to create a WiFi hotspot. Haven't succeeded yet.
But what I can do is connect my laptop to other WiFi networks.
I wonder if there is a way in which I can share my broadband connection from my laptop to my phone. Can the Android community help?

Is anybody else having issue with their laptop unable to find their V60's Hotspot? My work laptop was unable to see the phone's hotspot but it could see my wife's OnePlus 7 Pro. With all my previous phones the laptop was able to see the hotspot.
My tablet and other devices are able to see the phone's hotspot so I'm not sure what's up. I checked and tried all possible setting combination with the hotspot and my laptop's setting but nothing worked. Worst comes to worst I'll factory reset but I wanted to see if anybody has any tips to resolve this. Thanks!
