WiFi Hotspot keeps disconnecting - iPhone 11 pro (ios14)

The hotspot keeps getting disconnected every once in a while.

I have to go to the personal hotspot section in settings on my iPhone and then connect to the hotspot network on the client device.


Happens with any client device i've used on.

dell latitude ( Win 10 latest update)

Asus 5z cellphone ( Android 10 )

Asus vivobook 542 ( Windows 10 latest update)

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

I have been having this issue for awhile now. My phone will connect, work well for a few minutes, slow down, and then disconnect all together. I have erased all my settings twice, had Verizon update my carrier settings, gotten a new SIM card, and it still doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?? I'm trying to remote teach, and I am not having as much success as I need.

Apple cider s **** and ignores its customers They think auto disconnecting devices is a feature you must have, fuck you if you want to be able to toggle it. Also the same crackhead designed the never ending home button reminder It just takes up screen space and looks like **** and is annoying. Fuck me for wanting to toggle it off Only workaround is some long convoluted process for each app. Apple get your **** together your products cost too much for this level of fuck you.

I can’t believe this is such a widespread problem. We have a hunting cabin and the only way to watch tv is using my hotspot. Cell service is spotty at best, one place in the cabin I can set my phone for tethering to the Firestick. It’s worked for the past 6 years. Now it drops every 5-10 minutes. I thought it could possibly be the new Firestick 4K…..but nope it’s IOS14!!!! Unbelievable!!! I’ve reset network settings, didn’t work. Haven’t tried the never lock, but I doubt that will work either. FIX THIS NOW APPLE…..this is Busch League performance

Try disabling the auto lock and doing a full network reset. You need to do both for it to work…at least that’s what finally solved it for me. With that said, apple needs to fix this bug because I need my phone secure and now I have to remember to change the settings back once I am done using the hotspot! In addition, most company/corporate phones won’t allow the user to change the auto lock settings!

Trying to use my older iPhone 8 as a hotspot for security cameras at my RV site. Everyone says this is a great way to get WiFi access when it is not accessible (e.g. in the countryside). Well the hotspot drops after a few hours and I’m not there to set it up again. The phone just updated to the latest iOS (14.7.1), and now it drops the hotspot repeatedly. Strange. Is there something I’m missing?
