Personal Hotspot won't work (connected through cable)
I was successfully using Personal Hotspot to connect my laptop to the internet with Lightning-USB cable while my iPhone was on iOS 13.x. Then I updated my iOS to 14.x (can't quite remember the exact version) and everything went fine for a couple of days. And then all of a sudden my internet connection dropped and never came back up again, my iPhone still had this blue bar on the top of the screen which indicates a connection and my laptop was still connected to the same network it was connected before.
I tried:
- Rebooting my device
- Resetting my Network Settings
- Updating my iOS 14.x to 14.3
- Connecting to another USB port
- Connecting my iPhone to another laptop
None of the above seem to change anything. My iPhone still indicates a connection as well as my laptop shows me connection to iPhone's Personal Hotspot, yet I can't connect to the internet.
However, connecting through WiFi Hotspot instead of direct USB connection works but it's not an option for me.
I also tried connecting another iPhone, it's all the same, direct connection gives indication but no internet connection, over WiFi Hotspot works perfectly well.
I appreciate any help.
iPhone SE, iOS 14
