When using WiFi directly on your phone or laptop, you can connect and access the internet. However, when you switch to using a laptop as a hotspot and then connect your phone, internet access disappears. Others can do this successfully but you're unable to. This seems like a workaround or loophole in your hostel's system. Let me know if you need further help. Thanks in advance.

It seems your Wi-Fi card might not allow you to connect while also opening a hotspot.

I worked on this for nearly a year but it just stopped, so I don't believe the issue is with my Wi-Fi card.

You're right to consider that. It could be due to outdated drivers or new drivers affecting performance.

Connecting my phone or laptop directly to the Wi-Fi is smooth, but when I use my laptop as a hotspot and then connect my phone, it fails. My phone shows "No Internet Access." I’ve confirmed the issue is with my laptop, not the phone. Since I live in a hostel where only one device can be connected at a time, this method seems to work for them but not for me. Please help resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you might be able to resolve the driver issue by checking your system settings or contacting the manufacturer for support.

Have you explored reversing the steps? Link your device to the wifi and distribute the internet connection to your computer via USB (USB docking).

Contact IT. Bypassing your company's network security isn't a good approach.

I manage it but I have to bring a USB cable. I used to connect to the internet via hotspot for almost a year, but it stopped now. That’s why I can’t do it anymore.
