I need something like a router, but produces a 'mobile hotspot' instead.

OS: Windows 10

Okay, so in my fucking archaic university halls, we only have wired internet connection, and we aren't allowed to buy/use our own routers - however, we are allowed to produce a mobile hotspot from our laptops/PCs. Apparently there is a difference in wifi using mobile hotspot vs routers, something to do with IPs?

I can effectively produce a hotspot from my laptop, although the hotspot likes to switch itself off a lot, and it is annoying to always plug the ethernet into it. I can only sometimes produce a hotspot from my PC, but most the time I try it breaks LAN connection for some reason (it won't detect that an ethernet is connect, then it will autoswitch of mobile hotspot, and then ethernet will be detected again).

Is there a device that will work the same way as a mobile hotspot, which can be used like a router?

I might also just buy a router and see if i can make it work anyway.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
