Hello 12yo,
Hosted Networks and Ad Hoc Networks are deprecated sincd Windows 10. Windows 10 and further already natively has the Mobile Hotspot Feature, use that.
In Windows 11, you can first check the connection status by using the next Powershell cmdlet, from an administrator window:
Get-NetConnectionProfile | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "YOUR_HOTSPOT_NAME" }
Then, to see the connected devices information, use:
Get-NetTCPConnection | Where-Object { $_.LocalAddress -eq "YOUR_HOTSPOT_IP_ADDRESS" }
(*Replace "YOUR_HOTSPOT_IP_ADDRESS" with the IP address of your mobile hotspot. You can find this information in your hotspot settings.)
