iPhone 8 13.1.2 - my hotspot doesn’t have internet even though I do actually have LTE or it is connected to WiFi. My PC will connect to hotspot, but has no internet. I can use my phone to surf the web fine.
I have reset network settings twice, turned cellular data off/on, no cellular updates or iPhone updates are available.
This worked perfectly prior to update to 13.1.3.
iPhone 8 Plus
1) Reset network Settings on iPhone: Settings > General > (scroll down) Reset > Reset Network Settings (this will reboot the phone, & rename it to “iPhone”)
2) Rename the iPhone after reboot: Settings > General > About > Name (use something less generic)
3) Change the Hotspot password: Settings > Personal Hotspot > Wi-Fi Password
On a Windows (7) computer (Windows 10 is slightly different):
4) Right click the network icon in the system tray > “Open Network and Sharing Center” > “Manage wireless networks” (Google will show you how to get here in Win 10)
5) Remove ALL instances of iPhone hotspots you see
6) Enable & connect to the iPhone hotspot
While connected to the iPhone Hotspot:
7) In the Network and Sharing center, in the “view your active networks” section; click the network (blue text, something to the effect of…) “Wireless Connection (iPhone)”
8) You’ll see that IPV4 shows “no internet”, while IPV6 shows “Internet”
9) Open an elevated command prompt (run as admin)
10) Run the following commands (do not reboot as suggested by the CMD);
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
11) Same as step 7, only now you should see that both IPv4 & IPv6 are pulling IPs, & have internet.
Yes, My carrier and OS are updated.
Tried this but sadly didn't work.
Apple’s solution did not work. I am trying to connect my iPhone 7s to Samsung’s tablet.
Carrier is current. Everything worked fine before iOS 13 and subsequent versions. I’m trying to connect a Kindle Fire Table and Fire stick.
Thank you, this was so helpful!
Works now!
Many thanks.......very helpfull
Thank YouSo Dam Much ! This Helped Me Out Alot !!!
You’re welcome Bro!!!
Anyone have their hot spot woes resolved with the 13.3.1 update? Didn't work for me.
Thank you so much. This is the only thing that finally worked for me after having issues for months. I wish I had seen this earlier!
How do I run a command?
Worked! I was getting frustrated. Thank you
None of the advice Apple offers regarding the problems everyone is having connecting an android device to an iPhone hotspot works. This is ridiculous. Such a simple request, no simple solution.
Thank you so much for this fix!
Hotspot connects but no internet
