If the laptop can connect with the hotspot, it should have internet access as well as long as the smartphone is connected to the internet. Maybe you installed some kind of firewall app or other "security" tools? Did you change your mobile network provider or plan? Sometimes plans may not allow using tethering, although I've not seen this for many years. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
