The Mobile hotspot toggle in Windows settings flips back off a second after I switch it on. Wanted to share the laptop's wired connection with my phone. Wi-Fi itself works fine. Any idea what blocks it?
Questions in ISP, Speed & Connectivity
LTE shows in the status bar but nothing loads unless I'm on wifi. Cellular data is turned on for the apps. Toggled airplane mode, restarted. Carrier says the line is fine.
Tech support asked for my IP address and I'm not sure if they mean the one on my network or the public one. Where do I find each on Windows 11?
My ISP won't give residential customers a static IP. I need one to host a small server from home. Can I get a static IP from a different company and route through it, and how does that work?
Our office wifi needs the mac address of my laptop to let it on. I'm on Windows 10 and have no idea where that's listed. Is it in settings or do I need command prompt?
Speed tests normally show about 200 down, now it's around 15 on every device, wired and wireless. Nothing has changed at home that I know of and I've rebooted the router twice. Is this likely my provider or something I can fix myself?
