Not many of us are using 3G/4G dongles these days, but I had to for some reason. I have a Windows 10 host and a Hyper-V VM Ubuntu guest OS. Problem: Having a connection issue from the guest OS when a dongle is used. Each time I connect through the dongle, guest OS loses outside connectivity. (It works fine if I use Wifi) Fix: In your windows machine, open Control Panel Go to View network status and tasks Click on Change adapter settings Right-click on your dongle connection. Select Properties in the right-click context menu Go to Sharing tab Check Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection Use VEthernet (Default Switch) in the drop-down list (If your VM uses some other switch, use the proper connection) Hit OK. It should work now. If it still doesn't, disconnect and reconnect your VM's network connection from the VM itself.

I'm writing this post because I couldn't find any help online much not even from Google support. So anybody else also having this issue, hope it will be helpful for you. Issue: No connectivity at all. No Wifi: even if you turn on/off Wifi several time, it doesn't search or connect. No cell service: No reception, but the SIM card works if you try it with another phone. Says the phone is in airplane mode and no radio when you try to make a call. What happened to me and what I did It happened a couple of times for me and the very first time, I tried network reset but it didn't work. Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > WiFi, mobile & Bluetooth Then tried factory reset (wiped out all user data) Still didn't work. Gave up my hopes on that and thought of switching to another phone. ...
