I have a Tracphone A502DL had worked fine for months but after the last update, when I turn the HotSpot on my computer, it connects (and says it's connected) but there's no internet. I get no errors, even on the browser, but it doesn't connect. I'd reset it but I don't know how or if that would even work.

First, make sure the phone can access the internet to see if it is actually working or if the problem is on the phone rather than on the computer. Should the phone have no internet access, then you need to check the device you get internet from. Either a modem/router, or if it is data through your carrier, then contact them about the lack of data. Should it work fine
from the phone, then try a different device, try to connect a different device to the hotspot and see if that one connects. If the other device connects fine, then try this: 1. Go to "Control Panel". 2. Next go to "Network and Internet" and then "Network and Sharing". 3. Now click on "Manage Wireless Networks". 4. On this screen, remove all wireless connections by right clicking on it and select "Remove network" from the drop down menu. 5. After doing this,
close the open windows and reboot the computer. 6. Once the computer is fully reloaded, scan for the "WiFi networks". 7. Click on the available network that you want to access and select "connect". 8. It takes a moment, but then you will be asked to give a password for your WiFi connection. Type in the password and click the "connect" button. It should now be connected. NOTE: If this doesn't work, you may want to restart (turn it off and back on) the phone and
the phone's WiFi. Another way to try it is to...
Once you have completed these steps, whenever the device is within range of that particular network, it should automatically connect to it.
