I read a bunch of previous threads on this, but none really fit my problem. A long story here, but for the time being I am having to use my mobile data connection for internet access. When I try to connect to the USB tethering, I have to go in to the adapter settings, and enable, and disable, and re-enable the adapter about 4 times before it recognizes the USB. When trying to connect to a wifi, it's click connect on the phone connection (which shows up fine), wait until it says not connected, and click connect again, about 4 or 5 times. Using either the USB or wifi it will connect eventually, I have tried 3 different phones, and it's the same thing on all three. So I would think the problem is in my 8.1.
The last time my internet went out, and I tried to use the mobile wifi (which I've had saved on my pc for over a year), all I had to do was turn the phone hotspot on, and the pc connected immediately within 2 to 3 seconds, now it's taking almost 2 minutes every time no matter which type connection I use.
I have made sure every thing on the pc and the phones are updated. What I don't understand is I connected one time, and it worked perfect, just like any other connection, then the next time, it wouldn't. It's either a hardware, or software problem, I have tried to make sure both are working correctly, and as far as I can find the pc is showing no problems.
Any ideas what could be going on here, or what I might try?
Thanks
