Also mention that Beersykins raises an interesting observation: open CMD and type: ipconfig /all to see your DNS settings and other network details.
Your wired link is functioning properly. The "No Internet" message applies to the Wi-Fi adapter you haven’t configured. The hotspot setup asks you to confirm you have an internet connection. This instruction appears correct here. Where does the hotspot control indicate otherwise?
The internet isn’t showing up even though the Wi-Fi is active for a while. The message reads: “I’m sorry it’s in French but it won’t install English because ‘I have no internet.’” It essentially means you can’t create a hotspot since your device lacks Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular connectivity.
You realized it was indicating no internet connection at some point. You checked the hotspot configuration and encountered an error. You attempted to set it up, but it confirmed the lack of internet. This might not be directly related to the hotspot device itself.
I noticed the notification in the task bar a few months ago after adjusting my Ethernet connection. It wasn't until setting up the hotspot that I realized the issue was separate from the hotspot itself.
Normally, windows will refuse internet access if it can't connect to a server or ping. Off by chance I don’t recall the exact IP or URL it’s trying to reach, but verify your firewall settings to rule out any blocks. This behavior reminds me of older ICS systems from XP—often unreliable. It could be that your Wi-Fi card isn’t set up as an access point, or Windows is just showing a bandwidth error. I’m aware that certain Wi-Fi hardware only works in AP mode with specific vendors, which might explain the issue.
