Quick answer
A Windows mobile hotspot shares an existing connection. Confirm the computer has working internet access before troubleshooting a device connected to its hotspot.
Understand the issue
Decide which connection should be shared and keep the hotspot password private. Test with one device first so you can distinguish setup from congestion or data limits. Remember that sharing a cellular connection uses its data allowance.
Step-by-step checks
- Confirm internet access on the Windows computer.
- Review Mobile hotspot settings and the selected connection.
- Connect one device and test a simple page.

Conclusion
A hotspot can connect another device locally while the upstream internet connection is unavailable. Test both stages. Keep a note of the result so a technician can continue from the evidence rather than repeat the same checks.
