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!! Thank you!
This worked instantly. Thank you!!
it didn’t work on my pc idk
I work in tech support, & have seen nothing but problems with the 13+ iOS updates. I have few people that report the same thing as you, where I fix the issue with what I've posted previously, only to have the issue persist after some time (usually a day or two).
I really wish Apple would get their **** together with the 13+ ver of iOS.
All I can tell you is that I do not know waht the resolution is (other than getting an Android), but to put a bandaid on it you can use;
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
That will at the least make it work until it doesn't again.... :/
What you want to do is renew your DHCP IP address on the Chrome books. I don't know how to do that, but I'm sure Google can help you with that.
Google this (or something here about); Chrome book renew DHCP IP
My bet would not be on OSX. I have multiple users all on Win7/Win10 that have the same issue. If you can look at the network setting in OSX I'm also betting you'll find that you're getting a valid IPv6, but not IPv4. This is purly an iOS thing, I've found nothing that will keep it reliable for more than a few days then I ahve to have my users use ipconfig commands to get a valid IP.
I have the same problem with 6S phone
Yes. open CMD.
Run both commands in the order presented.
You need to open a command prompt in Windows, or a terminal in Mac or Linux.
The commands I explained are only for Windows.
You will have to Google for any other OS.
Hotspot connects but no internet
