iOS 15 beta causing problems with personal hotspot

I confirm 10000% this is an iOS 15 issue.

i have 4 devices

iphone 11 Pro, iPhone X, iPhone 12, iPhobe 12 Pro

this is NOT a device issue !!!?

HOTSPOT worked on all 4 devices immediately prior to upgrade iOS 15 from 14.8

HOTSPOT connects to other device (laptop or computer. Non apple) but shows (NO INTERNET)

apple needs to roll out a fix fast. This is absurd.

I had the same problem today. I went to the AT&T store and they sent some bits to my phone and the hotspot works again. I don't think you'll get if fixed w/o this step.

Same issue here. I can share my mobiledata as hotspot, i can connect to it (watch youtube, or browse internet) but cannot connect to my work VPN.. (tried the steam and other games and didn't work). Some update about the problem?

updated to 15.01 and still issue is unresolved.. on top of it my multi factor authentications have got lost.. seriously 😐

iOS15 replaced WiFi protocol WPA2 with more secure WPA3. I'm sure you'll "appreciate" that you can now use "easier to remember passwords". Actually NOT - as I can't connect to it anymore.

I've been working in IT security for quite some time - good security is useless if it breaks 90% of connectivity. I can't use iPhone hotspot with my car any more, neither with not-so-old laptops.

Pretty crap if you can't downgrade it in the hotspot configuration!

The problem is the new "more secure" protocol - WPA3. It's damn secure as I even my devices can't connect to it. I wonder if Apple gets paid by mobile network providers for saving them data bandwidth.

So I got my new iPhone 13 now. Running iOS 15.1 won’t connect to widows laptop hotspot

Did anyone find a solution or workaround to this yet?

Here‘s my story:

iOS 15.0 as well as 15.0.1 seem to break my personal hotspot for other Apple-devices. Strangely, first it worked without a problem with iOS 15 and an iPad (running iPadOS 15.0) until I noticed it didn’t work with my MacBook. To be precise, the personal hotspot as a router seemed to work… the MacBook connected to the personal hotspot and got a IP-Adress, but just didn’t send any packages out to the web or vice versa - in other words: no internet. So I did some troubleshooting: changed the iPhones name, deleted any saved information on the MacBook, reseted the network settings on the iPhone… but the problem stayed. At some point i got curious about my mobile provider and thought, maybe they changed some carrier settings or blocked the personal hotspot function for my number. But that wasn’t the case either: checked for carrier updates and tested the hotspot-function with other SIM-cards in my XR (also my SIM in other iPhones) and all SIMs worked as a hotspot, aslong as they weren’t in my XR. After that I saw the Update for iOS 15.0.1 - couldn’t find any changelogs about the described issue, but gave it a chance anyway… After the update to 15.0.1, not even my iPad could connect anymore - with exactly the same behavior. I doublechecked every VPN, private relay, DNS or Proxy… but no chance after all.

So I opened a discussion on the Apple Community - and got the tip to get in contact with my carrier…:

So, just finished testing after an other call with my carrier. They reset the SIM and, me on my side, reset the network settings, restarted the phone, changed the iPhones name, changed the password for the personal hotspot, logged out of the iCloud account… still: any device can connect to the personal hotspot over my iPhone and gets an IP-Adress, but none can access the internet over it. Tried the SIM in a 4G mobile router, and it worked. From my point of view, carrier and SIM is fine - there is no way the problem isn‘t correlated with my iPhone XR / iOS 15. The problem just started with the update to iOS 15. Or am I missing something?

since the update of IOS 15 he hotspot is not working. My colleagues have the same issiue, the ones who didn't update (they use 14.8 IOS) they can still connect to the Iphone hotspot with non apple devices.

Apple has to bring out a fix quickly. this is not acceptable. I updated a fix for some other issues today (05-10-2021) but the hotspot problem is still not fixed.

it's a WPA3 encryption problem probably, but it has to work backwards with WPA2 also. so fix it please.

Please hurry up.

I had this problem with my Surface Pro 3. I updated the Marvell Wi-Fi driver to version 15.68.17015.112, and now I can connect perfectly.

I'm guessing that there was some issue with WPA3 and the previous driver 15.68.9127.58.

I found the newer driver by performing a Google search. Windows Update will not update the driver automatically for some reason.

I hope this helps someone else.

Same problem with my iPhone and iPad since I upgraded to ios15.

I use hotspot to connect my laptop when I’m outside my house or office and now doesn’t work.

@Apple, please fix it

I have the same problem: using iPhone X to create a personal hotspot, my Samsung TV won’t connect. But if I connect it to my iPad Pro 2018, it works… Both are running iOS 15

You can try disabling ‘private IP address’ option. It worked for me.

I am experiencing the same issue. Is it a bug or deliberate attempt?

The issue is the IOS15 / personal hotspot Service. Have an bug in the DHCP and not release IPV4 Client details. need to Apple fix it.
