Personal hotspot no longer connecting since ios 6 upgrade

Try going to settings then down to reset,and reset all settings, this may work.

Both.

Same here. I have a Mac book which I used to connect to the Internet with the personal hotspot function on my iPhone 4S. It worked just fine and I was very pleased with that. Than iOS 6 came along and bang! I can still connect to the hotspot but it says "no Internet connection" ( the little wireless icon as an exclamation mark on it). In case you are wondering, yes I had plenty of 3G coverage. Apple? ***? Anyone has any clues?

I have been facing the same issue since upgrading to iOS6.

I went to an Apple Store and the first time, they told me to reinstall iOS. It worked for about a day after.

I went back again and they told me to reset network settings. It worked for about 2 days after.

The third time, from the store, they rest everything and told me to set up the iPad as a brand new one and not back up from a previous copy. This seemed to work for about 3 days and now I am back to square one.

It is really frustrating and I am scheduled to go back to the Apple Store to get them to sort it out once and for all. I never had any such trouble with iOS5.

And just to add, the only way I've been usually able to get the connection working is by restarting the iPhone 4S. The iPad 3 then connects immediately to the iPhone 4S personal hotspot.

However, this is not the way this is supposed to work and it is in no way near a pleasant experience.

I started get the same problem since updating to iOS 6.0.1, and found that by restarting my iphone each time seems to get it working for a day or 2, but then i have to restart the phone again, Until apple finds a fix i have found a work-a-round, and that is to connect the two devices via Bluetooth, Its not as fast as connecting via WiFi but a least it works.

I upgraded the software on my iPhone 4S from ios 5.x to ios 6.1.2 and lost the personal hotspot connection on a mac running 10.7.5, but not on a mac running the latest version.

For anyone experiencing the “no internet connection” issue mentioned in eugeniofrompadova’s post, and if none of the above suggestions worked for you, try the following as a possible solution on Mac OS, as it worked for me.

On the Mac you’re using, go to System Preferences / Network, then click on the connection for the iPhone. (This may be combined under Wi-Fi, or as a separate bluetooth or usb icon). Click the “Advanced” button. Click the TCP/IP tab, if it is not already selected. The “Configure IPv4:” will probably be set to “Using DHCP”. Assuming it is, click the “Renew DHCP Lease” button. This should hopefully solve your problem.

Under Windows you should also be able to request a renewal of the DHCP lease, but I can’t guide you there.

Hope this helps.
