mibile hotspot to desktop computer connected with no internet

Since Ipconfig /renew failed we will assume at least for now we are looking at 1 of 2 possible issues. 1. A corrupted driver or 2. a bad usb adapter.
While you download that driver to your phone lets try a few things.

1. Unplug the usb adapter from the computer, Turn computer off, Unplug the power cord, let set for 30 to 60 seconds then place usb adapter back into a different usb port and then boot machine. Please post results of the ability to get the driver via phone as well as any result this step may have.

2> Open an elevated command prompt by clicking on start pearl and typing cmd then right click on cmd and choose run as administrator. Type ipconfig then either type in the results for IP address, and default gateway if any.

You should be able to connect your phone to the desktop and open the download folder. If you dont know how to do this please state what type phone you have (mainly iphone, android, windows) so I might be able to help you proceed with that.

what I need to know is what if any your Ip address and default gateway are. What does your connection icon in your system tray show? I assumed you can see the hotspot and are able to at least connect it but cant get a valid ip address.

it will be named WNDA3100v2

I take it the power down and usb switch up had no results? Please let me know what your adapter icon in your system tray shows. it should look like this if your able to see and connect to the hotspot. it will have yello shield over it if there is no internet access.

Looks like your connected to the hotspot and your ip matches your default. what result does a ping of 8.8.8.8 have?
