If you find that your mobile hotspot is down, it could be due to a number of reasons.

The most common cause of a non-functioning mobile hotspot is an outdated internet adapter driver.

To ensure that your mobile hotspot functions correctly, double-check that all drivers are updated regularly.

Run Network Adapter troubleshooter

If it’s out of date, updating it may solve the problem.

Sometimes, gear Manager has some issues finding the most recent drivers.

Resetting your online grid prefs can help restore connectivity if any configuration problems have occurred.

Update Wi-Fi driver

In such a case, you may need to perform a clean boot, leaving only essential services running.

However, you should always start your setup and check for updates before trying to troubleshoot a problem.
