Windows 10: I cannot use my phone's hotspot to give my laptop an internet connection.

I don't have expertise with computers, so I can only do so much in describing this.But essentially, when I use my Samsung smartphone's hotspot function, it immediately disconnects.I turn the Hotspot function on, then I search all the available networks to find the android's hotspot connection, as one normally does. I click on the Android wifi network, - again, as normal, and type in the password. It connects as it should. Then moments later, it disconnects.I have used my phone as a hotspot for other laptops, so it is not the phone. It is definitely my computer. It should be a straightforward p

Laptop wont connect to Android hotspot 5ghz but does on 2.4ghz

good evening, I have a problem where i cant connect to 5Ghz hotspot from my samsung 21. It is set up as 5Ghz on my phone but says unable to connect to network. If i set my phone as 2.4Ghz it will connect fine. I have ruled out the phone as i can connect my works phone to the 5Ghz hotspot. When i try set up my works phone as the 5Ghz hot spot i get the same issue on the laptop. I have tried everything i can think of. My laptop does connect to 5Ghz wifi as this is what i use in my home to game. It just seems to be hotspot that it wont allow. Below is a list of what i have tried. Forgetting the hotspot Flight mode Manually adding the wireless connection Changing network adapters to show 5Ghz connections only Updating windows to latest update Network adapters are updated One thing i did do that worked the first time was open command prompt and do these commands below netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns Then i restarted laptop and it connected to 5Ghz hotspot. Then after 30 minutes it disconnected and i have not been able to connect again, even after repeating the above steps. Please help! Thank you
