    Which phone do you have ? you could download to that and use a usb cable to connect to your pc perhaps, or even tether via usb?

    You can try a Driver from the HP website in the first instance before one from the Realtek website.

    Remove current Driver via the Device Manager just prior to installing the new Driver.
  • When you use your phone as a hotspot, which band do you use 2.4Ghz or 5 ? I had a similar problem some time ago with my G7 and my lappy but due to age restrictions I can't remember what I did:mad:
