Can not connect to mobile hotspot

When I try to connect to my mobile hotspot through Windows 11 no wireless device is even seen by Win 11
I can boot into Win 10 and all is good works fine.. When I enable mobile hotspot in settings (in WIn 11) the second I
disconnect my router mobile hotspot is off and greyed out...This is trying to connect to my Pixel 7 mobile hotspot
Just tried it again this morning all 11 wants to connect with is bluetooth..no option to connect wireless to Pixel
The wireless network adapter is enabled in device manager
thanks

Do not enable hotspot on Windows 11. You enable the hotspot on your phone. Then Windows should just see the hotspot as another WiFi connection. To connect to any external WiFi connection you do not enable hotspot in Windows.

Windows 11 isn't seeing any wireless device with or without Hotspot enable, yes hotspot is enable on phone...Works fine witn Win 10

Do you have any other WiFi devices and do they detect the phone's hotspot?

Yes, Roku, TV, Ipad all find the hotspot fine

The obvious but have to ask anyway.... do you have Wi-Fi enabled on Windows 11?


On the "Show available networks" dropdown box do you not see your phone's mobile hotspot?

Do any of those have a facility to tell you the frequency of the phone's WiFi hotspot?

Windows 11 isn't even seeing my home router (when wireless only)
Its not seeing any wireless options hotspot, home router...ect

1 Does Device manager show any warning triangles or does it have an Other devices section [which means no driver found]?


2 Does Settings, Network, WiFi show that WiFi is on?


Denis

No flags in DM and wifi is enabled (see my other post)

No, your other post shows that your WiFi adapter is enabled not that WiFi is turned on.

Denis

I don't see any option to turn on wifi

Then Windows does not think you have WiFi.
That is at the root of your current problem.

I cannot reconcile
- the absence of any indications in Device manager
and
- that diagram showing your WiFi adapter was enabled
with
- your latest diagram showing no WiFi section in Settings, Network.

You did check Device manager for a possible Other devices section didn't you?


I'll have to have a think,
Denis

I saw no others in DM (in Settings Network when I right click on wireless adapter to connect, window pops up with option for bluetooth, airplane mode, night light..ect but no wifi option

still no wifi options

Do you have the Wi-Fi icon showing on the taskbar. I can click on the icon and choose More Wi-Fi Setting and the option to turn Wi-Fi on or off is on the top.

Just to reassure me that we are not talking at cross-purposes, please would you post a screenshot of the Device manager, Network adapters section [expanded so it lists all your WiFi adapters].


Yours must show a WiFi adapter because your earlier diagram showed that it was enabled.


Denis

Okay
