Unable to connect my MacBook Air M1 to my hotspot on my iPhone 12 Pro

Hey,

My macbook air m1 is my only apple device that could not connect to my Iphone hotspot (tmobile with max hotspot plan).

I've always had it work flawlessly until the software update. Ironically, my Ipad pro (m1) 11 inch still connects to the hotspot flawlessly.

My macbook air succesfully connects, but no internet connection. I've been trying all the weird solutions to reset network settings/having ipv6 automatic settings via network details/etc.

Is this a known bug or is there a real solution for my macbook or do I just have to pray for an update?

My hotspot (Iphone 12 Pro (ios 17.3) and Macbook Air m1 (Sonoma 14.3)

I just got off with apple support. There is a workaround to this issue.

In your iPhone settings, go to General --> About and change the name of your phone. Then turn on your hotspot and try connecting
