I have an older model Samsung TV and Home cinema system in my camper. I want to connect it to my I phone hotspot. However the TV is looking for a traditional router (WPA? Or some thing). Is there a way to get it to use the I phone hot spot? At present it searches but cannot fine the hotspot. I am assuming it’s the wrong type of connection?
Anyone help?
I phone 8, latest iOS, UK unlimited data contract.
Thanks
iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello Richard,
That's good to hear that other devices have no issues with connecting with your Personal Hotspot.
To answer your new question, no, there wouldn't be an app/setting in your iPhone to mimic a router. The reason there's not is because Personal Hotspot makes a Wi-Fi network itself.
Have you already tried the final step in the last message sent to you? Just in case, you'll want to follow the steps under 'If you can't connect to Personal Hotspot with Wi-Fi' in this link: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular)
If you already have, and the issue remains, the next step would be to get in touch with Samsung. We believe to have found their support link: Support Home Official Samsung Support US
Have a good one!
Hi,
the hotspot pot works fine with I pad, Mac book pro etc. The Samsung smart tv is looking for a wi if signal and has options like wpa, wpa 2 (these maybe be the wrong sets of letters) type security protocols. It does not see the hotspot?
What i was wondering is if 5ere was an app or a setting heat would get the hotspot to mimic a router?
