Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Problem

[Luqman Khan]

My ISP has given me a broadband connection, but windows 10 is treating it as a dial-up connection. I can turn on the mobile hotspot feature in windows 10 when I am connected to some other wifi networks but on connection with this broadband connection, it is greyed out and all that it says is, "We cannot set up a mobile hotspot because your pc does not have an ethernet, wifi or cellular data connection". But I am connected to internet, that is why I can upload my post.

 

I am using a TP-Link adapter "TL-WN725N". I was able to create virtual hotspots through third party programmes in previous windows version (e.g. 8.1 or 7). It still allows me to connect with other wifi networks but I cannot share mine.

Let me guess:

• You are directly connected to your ISP modem via USB
• You have installed your ISP software connection manager
• You are on DSL

Am I correct?

• Its a simple network cable, connecting me to my ISP's modem, not a USB.
• My ISP has not given me any software connection manager.
• I think it is a DSL.

All I do to connect to internet is:

• Plug my network cable into my PC
• Go to Network and Sharing Center
• Click Set up a new connection or network
• Then Connect to the Internet
• Select Broadband (PPPoE) and click next
• Type my Username and the Password my ISP has given me
• Check the box which allow other people to use this connection
• Click Next and I get connected to the internet
