This means that the machine connects through the vEthernet (wired) adapter instead of the physical Ethernet one. The vEthernet connections are all there because I have Hyper-V installed on my machine, and have a virtual switch that shares my ethernet adapter. My network connections list looks something like this: I actually forgot that this was a feature until one of the VR applications I was trying to use suggested it (one of the devices I’m trying to connect is my Oculus Quest).Īt its most basic level, you just go into settings, turn on Mobile Hotspot, choose your internet connection, and be done with it:įor most “normal” users, this will be fine, but this is where the edge case comes in. The issue was that I had a couple of devices that I wanted to use in that room that only supported wifi, so I could either put up with slow connections, or set up a mobile hotspot. Fortunately, I had a box of ethernet cable, a crimper, and enough know-how to wire that room, so I have reliable gigabit in that corner where I seem to pick up all my neighbors’ signals more than my own. The use case is that I have really crappy wifi in my home office. This is also the second time I’ve run into this issue (after a laptop format), so if future-me is looking this post up, here’s how to get this working again. This is probably a really niche issue, but I couldn’t find a clean answer for it on Google.
