Nov 7, 2012 2:28 PM in response to razmee209by Brazosdog02,Thank you for the link, but I have used and tried it. Any other suggestions? USB works without issue, so I'm not sure what's wrong with the wifi.

Nov 7, 2012 2:33 PM in response to Brazosdog02by rusher2004,Well, this is a bit tough because Windows 8 is not yet supported by Apple in relation to using it with an iPhone. To test if the function works on the iPhone can you try to connect another computer or device to Hotspot over wi-fi?
edit: the supported OSs for computers are listed here:

Nov 7, 2012 2:43 PM in response to Brazosdog02by ChrisJ4203,Have you tried to connect another device to the hotspot, besides the Windows 8 computer? Is there something else you can test over wifi to see if it is the personal hotspot or the computer.

Nov 7, 2012 4:26 PM in response to Brazosdog02by ChrisJ4203,I would say it might have to do with how the laptop connects to wifi. It could be a driver issue, but since you are using Windows 8, I feel anything should have been updated. Does the laptop connect to wifi anywhere else? Can you check that somewhere?

Nov 7, 2012 6:45 PM in response to ChrisJ4203by Brazosdog02,Yes, the laptop connects to other wireless networks without any issue. Perhaps the iphone uses a newer protocol or something. Most of the components on my laptop are no longer supported by the manufacturer. In fact, they are all using microsoft drivers.
