Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot not working

[jakeperalta]

I have a Windows 10 laptop with an Intel AC 8265 WiFi card. I have loaded the latest driver (Ver 20.70.0.5).



When I enable the Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot feature, it shows 0 of 8 connections. I can connect to my laptop from both my iPhone and iPad, but in both cases the connection hangs with a "No Internet" status. In addition, the laptop does not show any connections to the hotspot.



HELP

You may already know this but you can only create a mobile hotspot if the laptop is connecting to the Internet by ethernet (cable) to your router or to mobile (3G/4G) broadband with a USB dongle or a built in SIM card. You cannot use your WiFi to connect to the router and create a hotspot at the same time.

I agree with you, I already have an ethernet connection on it. Just want to create a hosted network. There seems no solution to this.
