Able to connect ipad 2 to iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi, but no internet access when connected via wifi.
I am able to connect my ipad 2 to an iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi. The problem is that I only have internet access with a bluetooth connection. Both are running ios 6.1.2 and I have tried to reset both to factory settings. Any suggestions would be reatly appreciated.
Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

IPhone 5S joins wifi but no internet access - help!
Forgive the length of this, I've browsed past threads about this problem and googled everything I could, but I can't fix the issue.
iPhone 5S, iOS 7.0.4
I have a MacBook Pro, a Time Capsule, several airport expresses, an iPad and AppleTV in my house... all are working fine (internet access unaffected).
The iPhone worked perfectly until two days ago... the internet access just disappeared for no apparent reason. Wi-fi strength is always strong; never a problem joining.
These are the things I've found on the interwebz and tried:
Rebooting my Xfinity router (multiple times)
Rebooting the iPhone (multiple times)
Turning wi-fi off, then on again (a zillion times)
"Forgetting" my wi-fi network, then rejoining
Changing DNS to 4.2.2.4 and back again
Resetting network settings on iPhone
Renewing lease in wi-fi settings
Checking/reviewing my Xfinity router settings and all connected devices
What am I missing?
Aside from returning the phone and getting a replacement, is there anything else I can do?
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated!thanks for the suggestion. i did change the broadcast channel and this may hopefully help with an unrelated problem with occassional interference, but sadly it did not help with the iPhone issue.
everything still works fine, except the internet connection on the iPhone. sad face.... anyone else? -
IPad 2/iPhone 3GS Personal Hotspot - Rogers - Canada
I have an iPhone 3 GS on the Rogers network with a 6 GB data plan. I just bout a 64 GB 3G iPad. I didn't really understand the "personal hotspot" technology when I bought my iPad last week and have since read up.
Speaking to Rogers, if I want to share my data plan, I can do so for $30.00/month and get 1GB of data from my phone plan. This seems to be a bit of a waste. The only other option is to buy a separate data plan for the iPad, but 250 mb is too little and 500 mb is only offered on a one year plan.
So I read about the personal hotspot option and set it up for a test via Blue Tooth (the only option available for iPhone 3GS). What I found was a perfect solution for accessing the internet with my iPad via Blue Tooth. the connection is fast enough to stream video from Netflix without any stuttering or freezing.
My question is: How will enabling Bluetooth and Personal Hotspot affect battery life on both devices? Also, I'm thinking that I could have done without the 3G model as I can always get access via my iPhone.

Message was edited by: kayjhThe speed would be about the same from seeing usage of both with speedtest.net to test the speed that is Bluetooth and wifi out. The only real difference is that the wifi is easier cause all it takes is connecting to the network rather than pairing devices but wifi out eats battery life. Bluetooth while still a battery killer compared to nothing on at all is nowhere as bad as wifi. As for speed compared to direct 3G on iPad I can't really say cause everyone that I know that has a iPad has wifi either cause they all tether through their phone. But from the speeds that are seen on speedtest on phone compared to iPad I'd say that the difference in speed if any is that great. I get about 1.5-2.5 Mbs down on phone and identical speeds on iPad when tethered. This is with att in us so I don't know what Rogers speeds are but I would suggest getting speedtest app if you want to find if there is a difference.

Vpn connected to Pix but no Internet Access after connection
Hi,
We have just changed over our firewall to a Pix 515. The VPN Client (4.6) has been set up and remote users can connect ok and authenticate using Windows IAS. However, once they connect to the VPN they can no longer surf the internet. Our support company are saying that this is impossible because it can cause spoofing. Is this really impossible on the Pix? Is there a way that the remote user can surf the internet via their local connection when connected on the VPN?
Many thanks for looking.
PJ.Hello,
It is possible to connect through Cisco VPN client while keep using the internet. You have to use something called Split Tunneling. Below you can find a link how to configure split tunneling:

No internet access when connected to wifi?
that my poxy is not correct
Hi @chuy1 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and issues with the Wireless connection. Here is a document to troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet Windows 8, if you need it.
Here is a document on Airplane mode. It shows you how to turn on your Wireless adapter.
If Airplane mode is on you cannot use your WiFi or Ethernet, so Airplane mode should off for the Wireless troubleshooting.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

"No Internet Access" on connected device with mobile hotspot
I've been on Verizon for 2 weeks. Note II on a Family Share Plan with lots of data. Using the built-in Verizon Mobile Hotspot application. Connecting from my work laptop, which is Windows 7.
Set it up and everything worked fine for a week and a half. I had no problems connecting or accessing the internet from my laptop. It worked fine Monday morning. Monday afternoon my laptop started giving me the warning message "No Internet Access" when connecting to the phone's hotspot. I'm in a 4g area where the hotspot has worked previously. I've tried several times in several different 4g locations as time allowed over the last 2 days, and I have not been able to get to the internet on my connected laptop again.
While connected to the mobile hotspot I ran Windows troubleshooter and it tells me that there is no DHCP server available, and that the default gateway for this network is unreachable. My laptop has no problems reaching the internet via the wireless network at work or at home. The laptop connects to both of those wireless networks every day (both before and since this problem appeared.)
I have rebooted both the phone and the laptop, with no change in the problem results. I renamed the hotspot, and connected to the "new" hotspot from my laptop, with no change in the problem results. I have tried running "ipconfig /renew" from my laptop while connected, and that is when it tells me that it cannot find a DHCP server for this network.
What broke? How can I fix it?
I'm still in the 100% refund return period on my contract and phones (for another day or so.) This is an absolute deal-killer. Hotspot on my phone is the single reason why I switched networks.
* Revised 2/28:
This morning I turned on the mobile hotspot feature on my wife's Galaxy S3 (on the same Verizon Family Share Plan.) Then I connected to it from my laptop. When it connected it said "limited internet access" for about 30 seconds, and then that warning went away and I had full access. I surfed for a moment to confirm, and all was working. I turned off the GS3 hotspot and turned on the hotspot on my Note II. When I connected to the Note II's hotspot from my laptop I still had no internet access. I left it for 3-4 minutes, and it never switched on. I tried surfing and got only error messages in my browser.
All of this was while sitting at my desk. So I believe I have ruled out the laptop as a cause for this problem.
Thanks in advance,
RandyAfter I posted the above in February I talked to Verizon support. They could not resolve the problem. They replaced the phone, and the new phone has worked for months. My work schedule changed a bit, and so I started using the hotspot less often.
Last week I noticed that after I connected my laptop I had a longer delay before it would change from "No Internet Access" to giving me access. Yesterday morning it was so slow that I got the command prompt up on my laptop and determined that from the laptop's perspective the problem was that there was no DHCP server available through the hotspot network. That morning it did eventually find the DHCP server and issue my laptop an IP address, and let me connect.
Yesterday afternoon the DHCP server never appeared, and I was not able to connect to the internet. Same thing this morning. I rebooted both the phone and the laptop. No change. The laptop connects to other wireless networks just fine, still. This worked for months. Why did it slow down connecting and then stop? I'm guessing there must be some sort of buffer that has filled up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance. -
Can no longer connect iPad Mini 2 to iPhone 6 Personal Hotspot (iOS 8.1.2 on both)
I can no longer connect my iPad Mini 2 w/ iOS 8.1.2 to connect to my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2, Verizon Wireless) running Personal Hotspot.The iPad displays the error "Remote Hotspot Failure - Unable to start personal hotspot "iPhone. However, my Windows 8.1 laptop connects to the iPhone just fine. The iPad connection problem occurs with or without the Windows laptop connected or even turned on.
Both the iPhone and iPad have Bluetooth and WiFi on, and the iPhone has Hotspot active. The iPad shows the iPhone Personal Hotspot on the WiFi Settings page, but throws the error each time i attempt to connect. Additionally, the iPhone shows 1 Connection on Personal Hotspot even though I have no devices connected. I have reset my network settings twice on both the iPhone and iPad.
BTW - I used to be able to connect the iPad to the Hotspot prior to updating to iOS 8.1.2 on both devices.Forgetting the hotspot on the iPad sent me in the right direction. I now have it working correctly, and seem to have diagnosed the cause.
The cause seems to be that I had connected the iPad to the Hotspot via Bluetooth. Once I figured out how to delete that link, I was finally able to connect to the Hotspot. Here is what I had to do:
On the iPhone:
- Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth
- Turn on Personal Hotspot and change the Hotspot password (this may not have been necessary, but things are now working)
On the iPad:
Reset all network settings:
Settings -> General -> Reset (at bottom of page) -> Reset Network Settings (deletes all known networks and their passwords and restarts the iPad)
Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth (I had found that Bluetooth must be on is necessary in some other research)
DO NOT CONNECT TO THE PERSONAL HOTSPOT USING BLUETOOTH - DON'T GO THERE!
Connect to the Hotspot using WiFi
Settings ->WiFi
- Wait until you see "iPhone" under PERSONAL HOTSPOTS (or maybe CHOOSE A NETWORK)
- Select "iPhone"
- Enter the (new) password that you set on for the PERSONAL HOTSPOT on the iPhone
You should now be connected via WiFi
Bottom line: Unless you have some VERY compelling reason to connect to the Hotspot via Bluetooth, NEVER do it. WiFi speed is multiples that of Bluetooth. With WiFi using Broadband Speedtest over Verizon LTE - 2 bars/dots - I am consistently getting between 15 and 20 Mb download and 3-15 Mb upload. With Bluteooth using the same test, I was getting about 1 Mb maximum upload and download.
I hope this solves the problem for all reading this thread. And thank you ManSinha for the helpful clue. -

I can't link my iPhone 4S to my iPad air. I can't connect to a personal hotspot or Bluetooth link them! Any ideas?
In settings under mobile (cellular) I've turned on mobile data, 3G and data roaming.
Under mobile (cellular) data network APN details are filled in and I have tried reset settings all ready.
What I'd like to do is link the two devices so I can use my phone's 3G on my iPad.
I can't get either device to connect via Bluetooth with each other!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Hello Hollystorm1
Check out the article below to setup your personal hotspot on your iPhone. Check with your carrier to ensure that is a feature that you can do with your iPhone.

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.
Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
If this is your "modem".......
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netopia-cayman-3341-router/4507-3319_7-30484785. html
It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
Does this device appear to be your "modem"? -
I am using my iPhone 4s personal hotspot as the internet router for my notebook. However, I am gtting the WEB SITE IS BLOCKED BY NETGEAR FIREWALL. I've deleted some other wifi connections I had before, had system restores, clear caches and cookie. Still, I failed. Whenever I tried to access FACEBOOK, it's still blocked so I still had to use https:// or tl-gp. please help asap.
Well, aren't you all that and a bag of chips!!!!
Oh what a relief! What a RELIEF!
That just cleaned up my life. And Cranky Boy is actually smiling!!!
Houston, we've got dots AND BARS!!!
P.S. All my firware and software are always current. If I spent as much time looking for a reset button as I spend checking for software updates, I mighta not needed to work at this!!!!
P.P.S. Airport Utility shows Cranky Boy's iPad as the Airport Express' Wireless Client!!! Who knew?
Thank you so much, m'Lord. I am in your debt. What would you have me do?

ITunes crashes when connecting iPad or iPhone
iTunes crashes when i connect iPad or iPhone. Running OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date iTunes version?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
