Hotspot Connection issue

Hi,


Everytime i disconnect my hotspot i need to restart the phone to connect back.


in other words, once my hotspot gets disconnected, to reconnect to the hotspot i must restart the phone.


I already tried disabling and re enabling the mobile data,

wifi enable disable on laptop

putting phone on flight mode and re enable


none of the above option is working for me.


once the mobile is restarted then only i am able to connect to the mobile hotspot.


dont know if any specific configuration needs to be made or its a known issue.


Mobile details:

iPhone 12

OS : 14.3

Network: Vi India

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Use these steps first

Restart the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot and the other device that needs to connect to Personal Hotspot. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS. On the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings.


If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi


The Hotspot is a carrier specific feature. Contact your carrier, if it is not appearing on your device.


Meanwhile..


Check the following

  1. Network coverage and stability
  2. Data Balance
  3. On you windows (See if WiFi Auto Joins is enabled)
  4. Also check if you have any stronger WiFi signal around your computer.
