Tethering in iOS 11: Fixing Your iPhone's Personal Hotspot Issues

I would first look at removing the iPhone Network and then try adding again as per below.

Also Tethering works either wirelessly or cabled (I tend to go usb), so another thought is to try the option you don't usually employ to see if that "kick starts" things going again. Not sure which method requires you to open the iPhone first, but seem to remember I had issue connecting until I unlocked iPhone first, worth a try.

Another idea, I've experienced and also read of glitchy Mac Bluetooth, so it might pay to look in that direction as well, for example go into Bluetooth System Preferences and try removing your iPhone then add it back. Also if you have a portable usb drive connected to the Mac try disconnecting it, it's been reported some can interfere with the computers wireless operation and the permanent cure was to use a longer cable to get the drive out of the way.

Best of luck

Can you try another device (iPad for example), that would at least confirm if it's iPhone or Mac related.

If it also occurs with other devices then I would try "Resetting Network Settings" on the iPhone, remember you will have to re-enter any previously stored WiFi passwords so have them available and you might have to confirm "trusted device" again the first time you connect to iTunes.

It's possible I suppose that your Mobile provider is doing something to prevent tethered access, not sure other than calling them to find out.

If the iPad works then issue points to the Mac and you will need to trouble shoot that side of things, but my guess it's something gone screwy with the iPhones Network Settings.

Hi

Personal hotspot is run by your network provider contract them.

Go to settings down to reset Reset network settings After reset enter your router wireless key.

Go to books download ios 11 user guide & iPhone guide for your model of iPhone both are free.
