IPhone Tethering Not Working After iOS 14 Update

I have the same problem and went through all the same steps as you to no avail. I live in a rual area and rely on my hotspot for internet. I have it tethered to a Netgear router running DD-wrt. I do this so I can connect more than five clients and have better wifi range. IOS 14 update broke that setup. I wish I never upgraded. I'm pretty sure apple is not going to do anything to address this. There not going to support anything other than PC or MAC usb tether problems I'm sure. Thinking about downgrading back to ios 13 but its a hassle.

I can confirm this problem, my fritzbox 4040 running with openwrt stop working too. My Manjaro Linux PC cant tether through the iPhone either, but latop with Windows 10 has no problems with tethering.

I can confirm that I can no longer tether via USB to my Synology RT2600ac after iOS 14 update. Also tested on iOS 14.0.1 and it still does not work. It is visible in SRM (Synology Router Manager), and it also appears to give an IP but it won't work. Tried countless configuration options to no avail. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

iPhone 7plus tethering not working after iOS 14 update and 14.0.1 I am an apple household. I found the solution to the problem. Let the apple fall from the tree . My android Samsung still works. UNHAPPY

Since I can no longer tether my iphone to my travel router, I tried tethering it to my Dell Laptop. I then turned on

The Windows "mobile hotspot" and got the same result..other laptops can connect but no internet.

I am also led to understand that Samsung adroid phones do not have this problem.

This appears to be an Apple problem. What bothers me somewhat is that Apple has made it almost impossible to roll back to IOS 13..***?

i see the same issue using Synology RT 2600ac, tested the phone before updating it worked perfect, after update i see a connection of the router to the phone (got an ip from the phone, and showing mobile network signal strength) but the router itself says limited Internet connection. All testet at the same place wher i have LTE mobile connection.

Synology says they can't do anything on their end. They claim that it is an iOS 14 issue. I guess we have to wait until the next iOS update to see whether this will work again, or not. Surprised that this has not been addressed yet.

I just got off the phone with Apple support. I had to get escalated up and up and up. They said this has happened before with IOS upgrades and they aren't going to do anything about it. It's up to the router manufacturers to upgrade their firmware and that often takes a month or two, according to Apple. So, my choices are to wait and use hotspot in the meantime, or get a Samsung phone (those are apparently not affected) and I need a new phone anyway.

I think, this is Linux kernel or firmware issue. I am using Elementary and MX Linux, which are Debian and Ubuntu distros, and I have the same issue. Tethering via USB not working, hostspot work fine. Yesterday I notice, that MX Linux using network driver for "Iphone 4/5/5s/6". Now I have iphone 7 with IOS14 upgrade. So, we must wait, for linux firmware upgrade.

The most likely reason this doesn't work anymore is that Apple probably had complaints from carriers about abusers of the unlimited plans using tethering to feed routed networks. The carriers (eg Verizon) can control your HotSpot option on your iPhone but Tethering or Bluetooth PAN was not a feature they could control by carrier settings...

Now you apparently cannot get a cabled or PAN Internet connection out of iPhone running IOS 14 or above.

Having same issue with GL-iNet router running OpenWRT. I use this to work from our holiday home in the Highlands and have been doing this for several years. Local LAN connectivity is fine, as is DNS but no internet connectivity via USB tethering. Having to use my backup Samsung A6 instead. Been an iPhone user since the 3 but unless this is sorted this will have to be my last 🙁 Lost almost an entire day figuring out it was the phone that was my issue!

I spoke with Apple support about 2 weeks ago and they said they aren't going to fix it.

I then contacted GL-Inet and they sent me this reply:

"I believe this will be fixed in the future but I am not sure when, it

may take several months or longer. For urgent use I suggest changing

to another phone."

I'm still amazed at how Synology was able to develop an updated driver in a week or so for the RT2600ac, and everybody else has not yet figured it out. Synology uses a Linux-based OS for the RT2600ac so, I shouldn't be much different than any other Linux-based OS.

Update... on ubuntu detects the ethernet usb adapter, dhcp works but no route to internet, on windows it doesen't detect the ethernet adapter but after installing itunes it appears in device manager. The internet woks on windows with iphone tethering on usb ios 14.1 but there's one catch, if you close itunes the adapter disconnects and dissapears from device manager. Haven't tested on macos an no itunes on ubuntu.

conclusion... still works on usb but with a big but just with itunes

I have contacted Tech Support.

I use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and also have used 18.04 LTS tethering to the pre-14.2 OS with no issue.

Checking on my system, it clearly is NOT getting a route for the path... I see an IP address assignment, Netmask, and Broadcast address, but no gateway address.

My windows desktop appears to be working w/o issue, using my iPhone X w/ 14.2.

I wonder if these guys test their setups...if they did, they would've easily found this issue.

STILL waiting for an update from these guys...should charge them my $175/hr fee for troubleshooting this crap.
