Trouble with Internet Sharing on Win Phone? Try out this DIY solution

With the latest versions of Windows Phone consumers are able to make apply of Internet Sharing, depending on carrier, device capabilities and assart. But what if information technology doesn't work equally planned? Many have encountered issues when attempting to connect to the Internet via a Windows Phone.

Devices are able to view and connect to the new admission point created by the smartphone, but Internet admission isn't available. Luckily, there are a few steps that should resolve the effect, thanks to folk at the Nokia forum and beyond. So what does ane accept to do to become Internet Sharing back upwards and working?

Solution 1 - update Access Betoken (Nokia only)

The first proposition is to update Nokia Access Point settings (you tin can scan the QR codes in this thread to access the system app listing), but this doesn't e'er fix the problem, which leads us to the 2nd step that can be carried out. If updating (or editing - if you know what you're doing) the settings app doesn't achieve anything, or if y'all're using a non-Lumia Windows Phone, be sure to check out APN settings. Moving on, captain.

Solution 2 - dabble with APN connections

Essentially the second fix has the agile APN connection reactivated through creating a dummy entry and switching betwixt the two.

Only ane connection should be nowadays in the Access Bespeak of the Settings, but adding a second entry (bypassing all the warnings that come with the setup process) would then nowadays 2 entries. Switching to the newly created connectedness (select and concord > actuate) would then disable the connexion that was automatically entered using mobile operator information.

Now all that's left to do is reactivate the main APN entry again. Connecting a device to the Windows Phone will so be able to admission the Net through the smartphone. If this works out, so it's just an issue which required an APN reactivation, but if not so we'll have to look at other options. Have y'all encountered issues with Internet Sharing, accept any of the steps higher up helped solve the problem? Allow u.s. know in the comments.

Every bit usual, Windows Phone Central can't take any responsibleness should your Windows Phone fall apart, or decides to have over the globe.
