Hotspot connects but no internet

Please keep reporting this bug to www.apple.com/feedback. Apparently Apple support never looks at these discussions. They might read about it there.

it’s been over a month that the hotspot is broken and no fix in any of the updates. What are we? Chopped Liver?

Thank you! This worked like a charm for my iPhone X on iOS 13.3 connecting to my Windows 7 laptop.

[Update] Oh, I just saw your later post that it only works temporarily. I'll report the bug to Apple. Also, I saw another user post that all you need to do for the workaround is:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

My hotspot was working fine then stopped yesterday - same problem, MBP on Catalina connecting but no internet. Tried all the suggestions in the web and nothing works. Fire up Parallels and Win10 - connects and works perfectly!

Drop back to OSX - doesn’t work. So it’s OSX not talking to the phone properly 🤬

you mean to do a CMD prompt on the laptop either with ipconfig/release or ipconfig/renew?

i was connecting my android tv to my iphone at first it was connected but no internet. Then i adjusted the date & time of my tv from “auto synchronization” to “manual setup” and it worked!

Hello all

I am having the same issue however it is only on certain devices.

I have the following devices

iPhone 11 - (Where the data is coming from)

iPad Air 4 - (Connects fine and uses data from iPhone fine)

Huawei Y7 2018 - (Connects fine and uses data from iPhone fine)

Tesco Hudl v1 - (Connects fine and does NOT use data from iPhone)

Tesco Hudl v2 - (Connects fine and does NOT use data from iPhone)

The devices that do not connect are my sons. I need to tether so he can use his tablets over my data. All devices connected fine before the update.

What is baffling me is why does my Huawei Y7 connect and use the data perfectly fine and my other older android devices do not.

I have tried all the recommended fixes. Reset network settings, restart hotspot, restart all devices. Nothing works.

**COME ON APPLE PLEASE GIVE US A FIX**

Sorry, Apple. I just got your "Solved problem" email. However, I have to inform you my solution does in fact NOT solve this issue.

I have 5 people in my firm that are having this same issue. This process resolved the issue... temporarily. It appears that either after a reboot, or an amount of time passes, the issue persists.

Please fix your broken updates, Apple.

well I have iOS 13.2.2 and my hotspot still not working and I used for work when I am out, any other solution ? can I get back to an older iOS version till this get fix ? the only workaround I found was to connect via Bluetooth to the hotspot but it is still not working 100% ...HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!

It’s been broken for awhile.

I see work arounds in other threads—see pic below.

also report this to www.apple.com/feedback. There is a field to “report a bug”

Very disappointing that this has been going on for me since early October.

sk8terskate has been very helpful to the community.

Same problem with my iPhone 7.

I had the internet connection problem with my Asus laptop and two Huawei mobiles. My hotspot connects but there is not internet connection.

this issue wasn’t there before iOS 13

please solve it Apple

I did this the other day and it worked; however, for whatever reason my computer defaulted back to the ISvp4 NO Internet when I tried to sign in today - ANY ideas as to why?!? or suggestions on how to fix it.

Apple IPhone 7 - IOS 13.2.3

Roku TV device and WIndows 7 Pro PC connect to IPhone hotspot but do not connect to internet as above issue. Have attempted the fix above identified by Alpha_DumDum with no resolution.

Anyone have any further ideas. An IPad Air connects to the hotspot and internet without any issue. Is this a bug and if so, how come there are not more people raising the issue?

I give full credit to these solutions to ska8ter skate. This works for Roku: turn off WiFi on your iOS device. Go to Roku Settings, Then System, Advanced System Settings, choose Network Connection Reset and reset connection.

Then on your phone go to Personal Hotspot and turn “auto join” off and on again until you see a message that WiFi is off and from that message enable WIFI. Go back to Roku and go to network connection. When you search for networks DO NOT activative any other network but your IOS device.

The Roku will hold your IOS setting. If you activate a different network on Roku it will lose your IOS setting and you have to repeat all the steps.

I’m attaching a screen shot for the windows. Read down to the config stuff. This is entered at the command prompt. Good luck and shame on Apple for letting this go on for so long.

Thank you SO much for this! I run the steps as suggested but am now getting IPv4 with internet and IPv6 with no internet access. Do you know if I perhaps did something wrong? Really appreciate any time you could spare to help me!

Do you know how to make this fix work on Chrome books? I am desperate for a fix. I can make this fix work on laptops, but my team is running chrome books in the field and cannot get this kind of thing to work for them unless you can give me step by step instructions to do in Chrome OS language (I am not an IT techie). Thanks!
