After updating iOS13, there are connectivity issues in Mobile Hot Spot. My laptop(HP) gets connected to iPhone6s but shows no internet connectivity but we can use the same on iPhone 6S very smoothly
The issues persists in all phones after update, I have check with other 2 Phones, one being iPhone 6S and 2nd one being iPhone 8
Pls resolve the issue asap
iPhone 6s, iOS 13
It's a problem with DHCP in the iOS.
After connecting to the hotspot, open a command prompt window ("black box" = cmd.exe program) on the PC and run this command (type it after the C:\users\yourname> then hit enter)
ipconfig /all
Find the chunk of info that belongs to your wireless adapter
You will note that probably the IPv4 address given there is the one that you use for your office or home network, and that gateway is empty. It's normal that the PC will try and maintain the same IP address for you "hi, this is my IP I want to use", but the DHCP server on a different network (unless it coincidentally has the same configuration and that IP is not in use by another user) should reply back with "sorry, I can't let you use that IP, here's another one". That is not happening in this case - something broke this communication in v 13
To fix, now run each of these commands, hitting enter after typing each one:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
What this does it make Windows NOT attempt to reuse the same IP, and instead start the conversation with "hi, can I have an IP?" to which the DHCP server will dutifully give you a new one in the correct subnet.
For example, in our case, the PC wanted to reuse 192.168.2.109 and the DHCP service on the phones gives IPs in 172.20.10.x
If this helps you, I would appreciate if you can post back to answer MY questions about this?

I had the same issue and the fix from JJD_Ottawa worked for me. Thank you so much!
Here are my answers to your questions:
What about the same issue but when connecting to an iPad? I tether my iPad off my phone for wireless but have the same issue.
