HotSpot iPhone as a "router"?

Hello

Here's what I want to do...

I tested that I can connect an iPad and AirPrint printer to personal hotspot from my iPhone.  Thus, this communication must be just from the iPad to the printer (by phone), not on the Internet.

This communication of data/chew would be my mobile data plan?  I don't know if the data is just keep 'local' or if she needs to go to AT & T and back and I get charged for it?

It's a GREAT way to connect ad hoc devices, but not if I get charged data (even though it should not use "Internet data" really... right?)

Yes, in some cases it * up your data. But it depends on your data plan.

Or check by going to settings > phone > at & t Services > view my data and Msg

Hope this helps, good luck to you.

  • HP Slate 7 more does not connect to iPhone personal hotspot

    My new tablet, slate 7 more, c. 4.2.2 kernel v. 3.1.10 - g2630132 does not connect to my iPhone 4, ios 7.0.6.

    The Tablet works fine on wifi router database connections.

    The Tablet sees different iPhones when the personal hotspots are active on these phones and I can enter the security keys.  The Tablet shows "signal strength Excellent and"WPA2 PSK security."  However when I press "Connect" the Tablet shows the hotspot iPhone simply as 'Saved, secure with WPA2.'  The Tablet does not actually connect.

    My goal by purchasing this tablet had a portable device that I could work out my phone personal hotspot.

    Suggestions, or can someone point me to a FAQ tip or tech that I might have missed?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I was able to connect to Iphone 4S my son without problem.

    I had to make sure I typed the passkey precisely, and by clicking on the check box "Show characters" did help.

    I've seen some messages on the internet where there is Android devices connection problems if the phone name had special characters in it, but we still managed using a name such as "batman Iphone 4»

    You can also make sure there is no special characters in the name just to be safe.

  • ThinkPad will not connect to iPhone 5 personal hotspot

    My Lenovo Thinkpad, running Windows 7, does not connect to my iPhone 5 personal hotspot.  Here is some information:

    -The ThinkPad used to connect to the hotspot, but only intermittently. Reset the network adapter sometimes worked, sometimes not... now, not at all.

    -The ThinkPad will connect at home, Starbucks and various networks airport WiFi with no problems.

    -The personal hotspot iPhone works perfectly with my iPad.

    So, my iPhone hotspot works and my ThinkPad with WiFi works, but not to each other.

    In the names of Jobs and Gates, can anyone suggest a fix?

    Good afternoon kmh531mag,.

    Here are some tips that can help you to solve your problem:

    On your iPhone:

    -Install the latest version of iOS (if you have not yet installed)
    -Reset the network settings on the iPhone
    How you do this: go to Settings--> General--> Reset--> Reset network settings
    -Check the name of your device. Windows probably has problems with a device name that contains non-ASCII characters.
    (for example: iPhone John.) The character ' is a non-ASCII character)
    -Completely restore iPhone

    On your Lenovo Thinkpad:

    -Install all Windows updates

    Here's some tips that I hope help you solve your problem.

    Please keep me informed if it works or not after you've tried my advice.

    Kind regards

  • no visible iPhone hotspot

    Windows 8 not seeing my iPhone 4S Hotspot as a wireless network available Personal Hotspot is iOS6 we'RE running.  Have restarted the phone and HP ENVY Ultrabook Touch.  I used laptop computer Personal Hotspot on old Dell Windows 7 iPhone & iPads since it became available for several years.  My new Windows 8 on HP Ultrabook touch simply does not show my IPhone Hotspot as an available network even if he sees my thin wireless home network and my neighbors wireless network.

    I am currently connected to my home wireless network.  When I'm traveling or away from home and not around a WIFi Personal Hotspot IPhone is very convenient as the Pocket on a shirt.  I'm not a beginner because have 14 cable and devices on my home wireless network.  My security cameras, lighting and pool controls are all managed by the iPhone and iPad applications.  But I am a beginner with Windows 8 and can't seem to find my iPhone Personal Hotspot.

    I'm sure that the solution is simple, but I do not know this simple solution.

    Hi JerryGriffith1941,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!

    I'm sorry to hear you're having a problem with Windows 8, you see only not your iPhone 4S Hotspot as an available wireless network. I'll probably help you on this question.

    Is the iPhone Hotspot available or hidden or shown at all?

    Is available in other devices when you try to look for wireless network iPhone Hotspot?

    My version of the software: iOS 7.1.2 iPhone5 and Win 8.1 on Lenovo

    Today I feel like a genius. I've been struggling with this problem for over 4 months and none of the forums on MS or Apple have this properly resolved. The resolution I found is quite simple and stupid:

    On your iPhone, go to settings-> General-> about-> name

    Make sure the name of your phone is not a single word with number of the apostrophe or special characters. Make sure NO SPACES.

    If you change the name on the phone, just disable the personal Hotspot and turn it back on. Go to your laptop and now connect to the Hotspot IPhone with the new name.

    I wonder why Win8.1 is unable to use a device name that includes spaces. It is pretty stupid IMHO.

  • IPhone/ipad can't see Wifi.

    My iPhone and iPad don't see my wifi at home. I have to manually set. Then when they go to sleep, they log off. I've done both a network all reset them on the reset of the iPhone/ipad and router and modem. No change. My macbook and internet phone work well. Also when I'm on someone to another wifi my iPhone/ipad work very well. This seems to have started after installing IOS 10.0.2 update. My iPhone is 5s. Can anyone help?

    What is a network of 2,4 or 5 Mhz? What version of security do you use for the network? You can take a look at this to see if you have the correct network settings. Apple recommends the settings of WiFi routers and access points - in charge

  • AirPlay does not work on new router

    Hello world

    I read so many topics here on airplay, but I am absolutely tired of trying everything without any results at all. So I hope that someone will know the answer.

    So. My amp is connected via an eithernet cable to a router. Amplifier a airplay in there and able to play the music of apple devices. I used to play music from my iPhone. My router is a generic router from BT, I think that the 3rd generation. This Setup has worked well without any adjustment, straight out of the box,

    Recently, I switched to another internet provider - Relish, is a London based provider internet 4G. Their router is manufactured by Gemtek. The configuration of the router is the same as BT (at least to the extent that I noticed) however my Airplay has stopped working.

    • I tried all the shamanic standard moves, like any change and turn on etc.
    • I also tried to rewire everything back to BT router and it worked. So it's certainly something in the router, but I don't understand that. Also.
    • The amplifier has a mobile application for use as a remote control. The application connects to the amplifier by the same router OK, can I turn on or off etc. If the connection is OK.

    I look forward to your suggestions!

    Many thanks in advance,

    Alex

    Here are the ports that airplay depends on... (search for airtime in the list)

    He'd have (pardon the pun) that your new router can have these locked in its default configuration.

  • Access point: access to personal data?

    Hello everyone. I have a question: if I share my hotspot iphone with someone, that person has access to my data?

    They should not. They are simply connected to your phone as a wifi "router/modem", that is unless they share your Apple (a bad idea) ID or have access to your account.
