XPS13 9350 Bluetooth Tethering - INVALID_MDL_RANGE
Hi all
I am trying to use the internet connection on my Xperia Z3compact from my XPS13 9350 using Bluetooth.
I can setup the connection and I do get internet connectivity on the XPS13. However shortly after I set up the connection between the two devices, I get a blue screen on the XPS13 with the message "INVALID_MDL_RANGE". This happens every time. I have found the following reference to this stop code:

I am using Windows 10 1607 with atest updates on the XPS13 and
Android 6.0.1 build 23.5.A.0.575 on the Xperia Z3c
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Thanks a lot for any help.

My BIOS, drivers and Windows are up to date. I also deleted the Xperia on the XPS13 and repaired the device. Unfortunately the problem still persists.

Thank you for the update Jacob. Please let us if you’ve tried the tethering feature available on the phone to connect to the internet.
Also, we request you to try using the internet connection on the phone using a different computer via Bluetooth to check if the issue appears. Kindly share your findings.

Hi Lijo,
I have tried pairing my other Laptop (Sony Vaio SVP 1321C5E) with the Xperia Z3c and bluetooth tethering works fine for that combination.
So it seems to me to be a problem on the XPS13 side.
One difference that I see between the two machines is the version of the bluetooth driver.
XPS13: 18.1.1551.2884 (newest that Dell update supplied, windows update did not suggest newer)
VAIO: 19.1.1627.3533 (supplied by windows update)
Thanks
Rudi
