No connection to iPhone hotspot after Sonoma update

MacBook Pro. 2019. Just installed Sonoma 14.0. No problems connecting to WiFi at home. But now at my cottage, I can’t connect to iPhone hotspot. No problem when I connect iPad to hotspot so the issue is the Mac. Have booted in SAFE MODE. No issue reported. Reboot in normal mode. Did not help. Tried turning off firewall. Did not help. Renew DHCP. Did not help. Now I need more ideas… not happy with this update at all.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 14.0

I was having this issue. I tried all the options listed in this thread with no success. Just talked with Apple support and they eventually suggested that I try to add a new network location


Could you please follow the below steps and try adding a new network location? 



1 Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Network in the sidebar.

2 From the More pop-up menu below the list of services, choose Locations > Edit Locations.

3 Click the add (+) button below the list of locations, then type a name for the new location, such as Work, Home or Mobile. 

4 Click Done. Any changes that you now make to your Wi-Fi, Ethernet or other network settings will be saved to the new location. The network settings in your previous location will remain as you left them, so you can switch back at any time.

5 To save your changes and complete the switch to the new location, exit Network settings or quit System Settings.


This ended up fixing my issue.
