Personal Hotspot won't work, iPhone 6 Plus

I have a 6 Plus, AT & T iPhone is my carrier, Personal Hotspot enabled, latest iOS installed. The Personal Hotspot will not work unless I have usb connect the iPhone to my MacBook Pro, go to 'Network' and choose the iPhone as my network. At that time, it becomes recognizable to all other devices which can then connect to it. If I disconnect the iPhone and try to use it again as a hotspot, I must repeat the foregoing. I reset the network settings and all the other suggestions related to this topic. Please notify.

Have you tried to click on the bluetooth icon in the top right menu bar choose your phone from the list and then click on connect to the network?

  • PPTP VPN does not work on Iphone Personal Hotspot

    Hello

    I've just updated to iOS 10 yesterday and now all my devices I use to connect to the personal hotspot on my iphone are not able to establish PPTP VPN connections. I was aware of the PPTP client are disabled in the iOS, but has actually blocked PPTP are not used by devices that connect to the Personal Hotspot?

    Please help ASAP, I know there are many more end-users like me having the same problem.

    Hello

    Apple does not recommend using the PPTP protocol for secure and private communication.

    iOS 10 and macOS Sierra intentionally delete a VPN profile PPTP connections when a user upgrades from their device.

    Apple recommends using another VPN protocol which is safer:

  • Personal hotspot USB modem Windows 10 & iPhone 6 s more does not.

    Hello

    I'm unable to use my personal Hotspot via USB with my iPhone 6 s more and Windows 10.

    Personal hotspot works via wifi, iTunes can recognize my device and windows Explorer.

    When I turn on personal hotspot via the usb port on my phone though, Windows network is not picking it up.

    There is no new detected internet connection.

    I think that it is a problem of driver under windows 10.

    No matter who ate any ideas on how to fix it?

    I've done several reboots of both phone and PC, plus an uninstall, reboot, reinstall iTunes

    My personal hotspot stopped working completely immediately after the 9.3.1 update on my 6s +. It does not seem to have any correlation with Wondows 10. I use my hotspot everyday for businesses, and it worked fine (though often wayward) on Windows 10 with iOS 9.3. Often it took to turn the hotspot on / off several times before that Windows recognize it. I get nothing now when I allow it. No blue banner high and certainly no link available with Windows 10. It seems that Apple has missed something again. I was curious, able to get yours you worked?

  • Given that I have install iOS 9.3.1 my iPhone 6 Plus is very slow, in the speakers and keyboard, I can't watch videos in YouTube or Facebook and sometimes do not work the volume buttons and lock

    Given that I have install iOS 9.3.1 my iPhone 6 Plus is very slow, in the speakers and keyboard, I can't watch videos in YouTube or Facebook and sometimes do not work the volume buttons and the lock. I rebooted my phone like 10 times and it does not work, I need help,

    Have you tried a forced reboot? Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything.

    If this does not help, I would like to try a restore:

  • airprinting to a printer h470wbt using a personal hotspot on iphone

    I have a laptop that works with Windows 7 and has a WiFi connectivity through a Personal Hotspot with my iPhone 5 (IOS 7).  My printer is a H470wbt and it is configured to print with my laptop.  Works very well.  I now want to do is to "airprint" of the iPhone or iPad Mini.  I installed the HP app called 'ePrint '.

    Problem: ePrint tells me "no printer found.

    Could use a little help on this (after many hours trying to figure it out myself).

    P.S. The H470wbt is about 4 years old.

    Ralph

    Hi Ralph, AirPrint is a feature that is native to the Apple iOS on your iPad, however in order to use it you need an AirPrint compatible printer that your model is unfortunately not. The H470wbt supports to print via the print application mobile ePrint, but to do this the printer and the appliance on which is installed the app must be on the same local WiFi network, i.e. a local LAN that uses a router as a wireless access point. So here's a support document which guides you through setting up the printer and install the software for a wireless network using an access point if you choose to do in the future

  • iPhone 6 s Personal Hotspot does not always

    My iPhone (iOS 9.2.1) Personal Hotspot 6s is completely useless and almost all the work.

    At the time of the twinning with my 15 "MacBook Pro (mid-2015, OS X 10.11.3) I can usually get a connection via USB and Bluetooth PAN, but when you use the WiFi 'Personal Hotspot' or instant Hotspot, it take ages to assign an IP address, or even not at all and then constantly abandons the connection or does not work.

    So far, none of the iOS updates have fixed the issue.

    I tried it with an another MacBook without success. A friend (on another cellular network) is also having the same problems with his iPhone 6s.

    I tried to reset settings on the iPhone, as well as setting up as a new device. I also signed in and out of the iCloud on both devices. Nothing seems to solve the problem.

    My old iPhone 5s worked beautifully with the same MacBook via personal and instant Hotspot.

    Someone has ideas of how to do to solve this problem?

    Hello

    In my case, it seems that it is interference between WiFi and Bluetooth. If I turn off bluetooth on the MacBook (after that it was used to launch the wifi on the iPhone 6 s hotspot) the wifi connection is ok.

    I show it on the YouTube video link below. The phenomenon is 100% reproducible with any iPhone 6s and MacBook Pro, I tested; also on other new units on the Apple Store / / Genius Bar made with the help of Apple employees to make sure that's not me, it's something wrong. And 'yes' all standard as 'factory reset' / / reset SMC / / memory NVRAM reset has been done on my equipment.

    The problem also exists if you share your hotspot with a MacBook that uses a different iCloud user, so the problem seems to be with the iCloud "peering" between the 6s iPhone and MacBook.  No problem sharing the hotspot with my iPad and Windows PC...

    The problem has been reported to Apple with support case number 1047696883 on February 12, 2016 and they should come back with your comments in 4 days (he spent 8 days now).

    Please check if you can do the same thing I did in the video... (You get the "Wifi Info window" while pressing the Option key, click the Wi - Fi-> "open Wireless Diagnostics menu...) ('-> Meny: window-> info)

  • How can I connect to my apple tv to my iPhone so I can use iPhone as a personal hotspot?

    Then on the Apple Tv, go to settings-> General-> network and find the name of your iPhone it.

    Select to connect to it and provide the password defined for it in Personal Hotspot.

  • X 230 bluetooth does not work - cannot use the cell phone as personal hotspot

    I try to use the bluetooth in my X 230 to connect my laptop with my cell phone. I want to be able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot, where I am in an area where no WiFi secure. I would have thought that it would be a standard feature in a laptop that is presented as a business device, but apparently this is not the case.

    I installed the bluetooth driver and the updated system, as suggested by joelle...

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&docid=HT073834

    and

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS012808

    ... but it's still not working for me. I am now able to connect my mobile phone to my X 230, but instead of allowing me to access the internet via bluetooth, a dialog box appears that allowed me to play songs that are on my cell phone using the laptop speakers.

    I am disappointed that bluetooth driver has not come pre-installed on the 230 x, and I'm disappointed that I'm not able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot for my x 230.

    I solved the problem myself by following the instructions on this page.

  • 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.

  • Meeting place 11 not be able to use iPhone Personal Hotspot

    We have several 11 7130 place devices that we evaluate before deciding if we want to buy for all remote users.  None of them were able to use an iPhone 5 Personal hotspot as a connection to the internet.  The hotspot indicates a connection available.  The Tablet connects. The hotspot indicates briefly as a fully connected. But trying to go to the Internet in Internet Explorer, you get the page not found.  Weather app of TheTablet says offline.  Anything that requires access to the internet will not work.  When you go to settings and look for the WifI, hotspot persnoal connection status says 'limited '.  The iPhone shows that Personal Hotspot has 1 connection.

    We tried several iPhones on several tablets and they do not work.  Is this a known issue?  I can't imagine being the only one with a problem like that, is not a defect in a single machine.  and a question like this would be a big obstacle to the acceptance of this tablet as a viable mobile device.

    Connection via Bluetooth to iPhone has the same problem as well, shows they are connected, but no internet access is available.

    It seems to be caused by a low-power wireless adapter.  The default settings on the place of the 11 sessions must be changed in Power Options.

    • Go to control panel > Power Options.
    • In the Power Options screen, click on the plan for the Dell Power Plan settings.
    • On the screen change Plan settings click on change advanced power settings.
    • In the advanced power settings screen, click on the + sign next to the wireless adapter settings.  Then the sign for the power saving Mode.  The battery is probably average energy saving.
    • Change for maximum Performance.  If the parameter Plugged In is not at maximum Performance, you must change this one as well.

    According to the power Plan that you are running, you may need to change the settings for the Power Saver Power Plan as well.  Same steps apply as noted above.

  • 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 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:

    -Reset the network settings on the iPhone

    No, the iPad doesn't "know" that you have a limit on your data. It does not change the behavior of use based on the type of connection (other that it will not download files more 100 mg on cell phone).
