  1. My iphone keeps disconnecting hotspot from my pc after some time


    I have had this problem for a long time but, now i really wanna know if someone else struggles/struggled with the same problem.So the problem is, I connect my iphone hotspot to my pc via usb-c cable because my router internet sucks and it works no problem for about 30min-1h but after that my pc is in connection with my iphone but my iphone doesnt "give" any internet to my pc. So let's say i am installing a new game my download speed is like 30mb for like good 30minutes but after that it goes to 0 kb and it stops downloading, and after that my pc says "no internet connection" even tho my ipho

    Personal Hotspot on iPhone not detected on Thinkpad T480s

    I used to be able to connect my iPhone 6s (iOS 13) to my Thinkpad T480s (Win 10 Pro, 1903, latest updates) via USB-C and use the personal hotspot on the iPhone to connect to the internet. This worked without any issues for several years through several upgrades of iOS and Windows.
    Now I switched to an iPhone 11 Pro (iOS 13) and the T480s does not detect the iPhone's personal hotspot any more. Personal hotspot is turned on on the iPhone 11 Pro. The T480s sees the iPhone and I can browse its content.
    The personal hotspot on the iPhone 6s (also iOS 13) is also not detected any more since I updated the following Apple software on the T480s to the current versions:
    • AppleApplicationSupport64
    • AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
    • AppleSoftwareUpdate
    Am I missing something here?

  3. iPhone hotspot

    try assigning Google's manual dns to Windows 7 PCs:

    8.8.8.8

    8.8.4.4

    Try again.

    If it does not solve, configure the USB tethering on the iPhone, then connect the iPhone to the PC via the USB cable and check if you can access the internet in this mode. If so, disconnect the USB cable and reconfigure the hotspot on the iPhone again.
    .

    Try connecting again in wi-fi.

    My iphone keeps disconnecting hotspot from my pc after some time

    Windows 10, Mcafee Firewall, Ethernet Broadband, Dell XPS User trying to use Win10 Hotspot for Ipad and Iphone

    Questions from Nathanial with my responses underlined:

    We would like to ask some questions to know the best possible resolution.

    • Have you tried changing the password of the Wifi hotspot and update the password on your phone?
      Per your question, I just completed this: Edited my wifi hotspot password to a different one, "forgot" that wifi hotspot on my iPhone, selected it again and used new password, the iPhone was given a secure connection
      (indicated by the locked lock icon) but again in red reads "No Internet Connection." Clicking IPhone info, the suggestion was to reboot my modem, which I did and then reboot my pc (because doing that 3 times fast in the 90s worked magic) but to no avail.

    • Have you tried connecting different device on your Wifi hotspot and check if the issue persists?
      I have tried all the same steps mentioned above with my ipad as well...both, however, have the same ios. The ipad pro did not work either and had same result.

    • Have you tried to connect your phone to different Wifi hotspot and check if the issue persists?
      Both ipad and iPhone have used wifi hotspots seamlessly around the world several times with no issues. I run my iPhone hotspot and my ipad pro connects to it as does dell/win10.

    I am guessing here, but i think the closest i have come to a resolution was to tinker with my mcafee firewall to try and "allow" my iPhone ipaddress through but I followed steps and it did not work. Plus, that just
    sounds to superuserish to me. However, my windows defender firewall is off and mcafee firewall is on...to complete the scenario.

    This is a fairly default setup I have along with thousands of other dell pc's sold with win 10 and mcafee. I am shocked how elusive this setup is.
