How to fix a hotspot connectivity problem
If you’ve updated or upgraded Windows 8 and your network isn’t working any more, then your problem might have something to do with either the drivers you have installed on your computer, the firmware of the networking device itself or other third party software you might use to complete the connection. As you might imagine, the solution in the first two cases is to search online for an updated version of the driver or firmware that you use, install it and restart your network. In most cases, this will fix the connectivity issues and you will once again have a working Internet connection. If you have been having troubles connecting your iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s WiFit hotspot, then read our short guide on that, as well. If, on the other hand, you are using third party software to connect to your hotspot, then you might have to contact the developer and ask for compatibility issues with your operating system. Although unlikely, some software might be incompatible with Windows 8.1, and that might be the root of your problems. Last but not least, you can try the Windows Troubleshooter to sort out your network related issues. To access this feature, go to your Search charm and type in Troubleshooter open the utility and from the window which opens, select Network and Internet, and from the list, select the troubleshooter which best describes your problem.
