I won't bore you with all the failed attempts, but while I was looking around in the macOS Network Preferences panel, (Go to System Preferences, click on Network, make sure Wi-Fi is selected in the left pane, and click Advanced…), I noticed that in the list of Preferred Networks, there was an entry with my iPhone's name.
I was confident that the issue was related to my Mac and not my iPhone because other devices had no problem connecting to the iPhone. Sometimes the personal hotspot connection only seems to be connected but isn’t. If your device is connected but there is no internet conncetion try to turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on again first. 1) Reset network Settings on iPhone: Settings > General > (scroll down) Reset > Reset Network Settings (this will reboot the phone, & rename it. Personal Hotspot connected but no internet connection. Facebook: What data do they have about you?įirst off, there are a lot of 'solutions' for this problem out there. Stalling typically occurs when the data allowance on the iPhone is nearing its depletion. Needless to say, this was annoying, and it sent me on a long journey to find the solution.Īnd it turns out the solution is pretty simple. I could see my iPhone, and I could connect to it, but it took multiple connections and disconnections to give me access to the internet. However, over the past few days I've had problems getting my MacBook Pro to connect.
And on the whole it's been quite reliable. Personal hotspot is one of those iPhone features that I use a lot.
