Consumer devices or notebooks that are connected to the personal area network are viewed under connected devices in the Intel® My WiFi Technology utility menu.

Devices move from the previously connected devices window to the connected devices window when the device connects to the virtual access point generated by Intel® My WiFi Technology. If the device moves away from the notebook, enters sleep mode (where Wi-Fi is disabled), or wireless signal strength weakens, the connection may be temporarily lost until the device reconnects.

To resolve issues:

1. Device is within range with weak wireless signal strength. Fix: Bring device closer to notebook and/or within line of site. Monitor signal strength in Intel® My WiFi Utility.
   
   
2. Device is connected to the correct network ID (SSID) and security setting. Fix: read security settings for your Profile.
   
   
3. The device is not in sleep mode/off. Fix: Wake or turn on device.
   
   
4. Device battery is low and connectivity drops frequently. Fix: power up battery on device or plug in device.
   
   
5. Notebook battery is not low nor is the PC in sleep mode. Fix: Power up battery, PC awake.
   
   
6. Device does not have access to the Internet through the notebook which is connected to the notebook. Fix: Disable sharing filtering to allow devices to share internet connection. Some certificate based (login) internet sites may not allow remote sharing of connection.
