Mitchief,
Got it. Since your Personal Hotspot works as expected on the iPhone and when other devices are connected, your best bet is to get in contact with the manufacturer of the extender. They would be in the best position to assist with their product and to verify that it will work with a hotspot: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
Kind regards.
Hello, Mitchief.
To set up your Personal Hotspot, please see this article: How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Please take note of the following important details: "The number of devices that can join your Personal Hotspot at one time depends on your carrier and iPhone model. If other devices have joined your Personal Hotspot using Wi-Fi, you can use only cellular data to connect to the Internet from the host device."
In addition, learn more about connecting a device to your iPhone or iPad's Personal Hotspot.
Let us know if we can help with anything else at all. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
Thanks for the reply @Gena_D. Actually i am already using the iphone hotspot cellular data to connect other clients as mentioned above (direct connection from my iphone) hotspot, but i want my iphone hotspot to link to the tplink extender to make it a server, so that other clients can connect from tplink extender server instead of connecting directly from my iphone hotspot.
Mitchief,
We appreciate the clarification. As noted in the previous article "With Personal Hotspot, you can share the cellular data connection of your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) with another device."
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
Hi @Lissy_12,
thanks for ur reply..i have no issue connecting other devices straight from my iphone to other devices like my macbook, ipad, iwatch, apple tv and it works absolutely perfect via iphone hotspot. But when i am try to configure hotspot connection to TPlink extender in order to make it work as a server, it shows no internet connection in the tethering tplink extender app.
