iPhone 11 Personal Hotspot Self Assigned IP Address

I’m running IOS 14.3


Im suffering from a major broadband fault in my area.


I went to use my personal hotspot to connect my MacBook Pro, running Catalina, to the internet and the hotspot isn’t issuing an IP address.


The same happens when I try and connect with a Windows 10 laptop.


Self assigned IP address, although the connection via WiFi establishes.


I’ve tried both Bluetooth and USB cable with the MacBook. Each time my MacBook tells me I need to update software to use the device. I can’t, I’ve no internet connection.


I can connect to my wife’s iPhone 8 hotspot on IOS 14.3 with both laptops without problems.


I’ve tried resetting the Network setting and resetting the phone (soft reset).


Any suggestions to resolve the issue?

iPhone 11, iOS 14
