iPhone Hotspot WiFi paramethers for Access Point

Dear All,

I need to share my iPhone Hotspot network with my TV which has only a LAN plug (no WiFi). For this I need to use an Access Point configured as a client-mode.

It asks me which kind of security the hotspot is using and the IP address (DHCP enabled/disabled).

Which paramethers should I use?

Bye

I have seen on the web that there are other people who have my same problem. Is it possibile to have a solution?

In particular, I'm using a Netgear WG602 v4 and I've configured it in client mode. It sees my iPhone network and I've set the security as WEP 64bit, Open System but the Access point doesn't connect at all to the iPhone network. Is it something forbidden by Apple??

The following data comes from my Samsung TV which has a wireless adapter and gave me theese settings automatically after connecting to the HotSpot Wlan network of my iPhone.

If the image is not accessible or clear, here are the settings:


IP Address= 172.20.10.4

Subnet Mask= 255.255.255.240

Gateway= 172.20.10.1

DNS Server= 213.230.155.10


Unfortunatelly the TV seems to be connected to the Access Point (iPhone) but it says that it's not connected to the internet while it should be since the iPhone says that one device is connected to the hotspot and it's the TV.

For this reason I'm not sure that the IP settings given by the TV are correct.


If they were correct I might use those settings for my Access Point in client mode.
