Q: Can iPad Air use iPhone 5 WiFi hotspot?
my iPad Air is running iOS 7.1.2. I want to upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 but our DSL modem died. No WiFi.
i Thought I'd use my iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.1.2) as a Hotspot since the iOS upgrade requires WiFi and won't work off my ATT cell network.
i Turned on the Hotspot, but my iPad doesn't see it.
I Tested with my MacBook Pro which sees my iPhone and connects to it as expected
anyone know if you can use an iPhone hotspot with an iPad?
might the problem be that my iPad is on iOS 7
