hi, why wifi option dosnt seen in personal hotspot in ios5

This worked for me on iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2.
For some reason I need to turn the personal hotspot off twice, maybe because my iPad was connected.
When I turned the Personal Hotspot on with WiFi off I was prompted whether I wanted to turn WiFi on or just use BlueTooth or USB.
It's good to have both options. In a public place I'd prefer Bluetooth. In my office where I'm streaming to a BlueTooth speaker I prefer WifFi. Phone can't handle streaming and hotspot if hotspot data usage is too high.

My iPod 5 can't connect to wifi. It connects to personal hotspots but no to my home wifi. I tried resetting the network settings but no change. I put the right password but it just keeps loading forever. What should I do??

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS2756 Why can I still not find personal hotspot option under the cellular item after resetting my network?

I still cannot find that option.
My iphone is 4S and the iOS is 6.0

To have that setting require that your carrier support Personal Hotspot & that such be properly provisioned on your account. Have you verified your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & it is provisioned on your account?

HT204023 Why doesn't my new ipad (3rd gen) wifi+4g with virgin have personal hotspot?

Hi there, I have a new iPad Wifi +4G that I recently purchased whilst I was overseas in America from an Apple Store. I have a data plan back here in Australia which is a $99 micro sim for 10GB of data for a year which is with Virgin (running on the Optus network).
I have with no success found the personal hotspot setting anywhere, whether it be in settings main menu or settings, general, network. I have tried with the network on and off and have not found it.
I rang Virgin, who somewhat explained that they weren't doing personal hotspot yet, or at all (kinda hard to understand their tech support)...
I hope this isn't a Telstra only feature, as apart from their coverage wouldn't go with them anyway.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harrison.

This solves my question, however annoys the **** out of me. Watching the apple keynote for the new iPad they said customers would have personal hotspot built in. It seems that apple has screwed around with their phrasing again, not mentioning it would in fact be carrier based.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards, Harrison
IMHO your reasoning makes no sense. The iPad has what is required for "personal hotspot" built in. It only makes sense that you would need a plan that supports this built in functionality in order to use it.
When you buy a car advertised to get 40mpg do you get **** because the car dealer never told you that in order to get 40mpg you have to buy gasoline? The car's 40mpg capability is built in but you still need to buy gas to use that functionality.

Can I use my home WiFi's data while using Personal Hotspot

at the moment I'm using my personal hotspot at home, as I have no ethernet cord to run from my router to PC
Is there someway that I can connect my phone to WiFi and then use that through my computer? or is the only way to use my own data that comes with my phone?
This would be a great help.
Thanks!

It should be using your data. The hotspot connection is via 3G and is supported by your carrier. It can use wifi to connect to your computer, but it cannot use the wifi to provide the data.
How can you connect your computer to wifi anyway. You talk about the inability to connect your computer to the router, but then you want to connect the comptuer to wifi from your router, but still want to use the Personal Hotspot. This does not make any sense. Does the router have the ability to do wifi? If so, you don't need the hotspot, just connect the PC to the router via wifi.

Why can't I get a personal hotspot on my iPhone 5 with iOS 7

I can't seem to get the personal hotspot that I paid for already on my phone. We have tried absolutely everything and so has our carrier which is sprint. They contacted apple and there is still no fix for it. This problem causes the personal hotspot not to show up under cellular in settings. What do I do??

Have you tried the steps in the article below?
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot

Why does my Verizon Iphone 5 personal hotspot sometimes not work? I have to keep turning it on and off for it to come up. This is a problem that I am having when connecting to a computer PC and MAC and a Ipod Touch and my Ipad.

This issue is making me start to think that I have a defective peice of equipment. It seems as though i have to restart the hotspot multiple times for it to work and when it does work it drops the device after being tether to it, and then I have to start the whole process over again.

I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!! The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

HT3574 iPad 2 wifi+3G and Personal Hotspot?

Dear All,
Why the iPad 2 wifi+3G doesn't have Personal Hotspot? I cannot find anyway to share my Cellular Data as Personal Hotspot. Is the personal hotspot hardware or software related? I know other people do it by Jailbreaking the iPad. But, I don't want to do that. If they can use Personal Hotspot in Jailbreaking mode Apple should be able to activate it with a new software release or update. I've been waiting for that since the iOS 4.x release. Till now nothing has be done. Why Apple would continue to ignore all the customer requests about this matter?
I hope you'll consider taking the necessary action to give a Relief or Smile to your concerned customers!
Regards,

Before accessing the App store; Speedest.net (app) shows 0.57-1.2 down which is perfect. As long as I stay out of the appstore; i seem to be fine. The SECOND i try to download an app in the appstore; the connection slows to a crawl and apps end up taking more than 10 minutes to install or they lock up and don't install. Speedtests after a failed appstore downloading will then consistently drop to 0.17 down/1.2 up. This is baffling and has happened enough times I'm wondering if AppStore downloads are "throttled" when used on HotSpot Connections.
I'm wondering if a separate 3g iPad would perform better than a tethered one.

HT1937 Hello why does my iphone 5s does not come with personal hotspot?

Why ?

Oh, the fact that Personal Hotspot does not appear in Settings > Celluar is not a good sign for you.
It suggests your cellular carrier does not offer the service.
Contact them and find out. Not all carriers offer it.

Personal Hotspot Security - Flaws?

As a business user, I initially liked the idea of the Personal Hotspot as a convenient way to link my iPhone and MacBook Pro. However as a networking specialist, I am immediately aware of its shortcomings and risks, risks that are already well known in WiFi circles and no attempt seems to have been made to eliminate these and make Personal Hotspot safe to use.
It is 'Personal!'. It is my hotspot! Therefore:
1/ Don't broadcast my SSID - allow me to turn it off so people don't see my hotspot.
2/ Lock what devices can attach (e.g. via MAC address &/or other security code) . Use the cable tether and iTunes to lock my MacBook Pro to my iPhone so only devices I pre-select can use the Personal Hotspot.
3/ Encrypt the traffic. There is a lot of sensitive data on both MacBook and iPhone, so I don't want the two exchanging such data on an open wireless connection. Give me the option to encrypt it!
4/ Time-limit the Personal Hotspot session and include auto-terminate. When I close my MacBook Pro, suspend the Personal Hotspot session. e.g. when I disconnect the USB cable, my tethering automatically ceases, the same should happen when I close my MacBook. I don't want the Hotspot running when I don't need it.
5/ Enhance the WiFi control panels for all Apple devices to simplify WiFi associations. Here in the UK, all BT Home and Business WiFi devices are also public subscription WiFi Hotspots. They annoy the **** out of me as my MacBook Pro and iPhone will try and join these public hotspots, thus my 3G and other WiFi networks that I want to connect to get interrupted consistently. There is currently no way on either the iOS or OS X to tell the system to remember to ignore certain SSIDs. Imagine being at an Apple convention with thousands of Apple devices with Personal Hotspot activated? It would be impossible to select your own particular device from myriads of others.
6/ Corporate Security teams are going to have heart attacks! It is bad enough trying to identify a rogue WiFi access point that has been attached to the internal network, never mind hundreds or thousands of corporate and non-corporate iPhone users whose device has just been upgraded to iOS 4.3 with Personal Hotspot active. What measures do Apple offer to enable these corporate security guys to ensure sensitive corporate data doesn't get hacked via the Personal Hotspot function (with an open portal to the internet on every single unit) they have just dropped into every workplace on the planet?
7/ Ability to reduce the transmit power of the Personal Hotspot WiFi to 1 metre instead of the standard. If my phone and MacBook are next to each other, I don't need to have the high transmit power of a normal WiFi device. If the Personal Hotspot WiFi signal can be turned down to the bare minimum, it will preserve battery life on the iPhone as well as reducing the mass interference in the 2.4GHz band that will be created by dozens of such devices. If transmit power is not reduced, the effectiveness of existing devices such as access point networks will be severely impacted to the point where some WiFi service networks will become unusable.
Anyone have any other wireless security concerns about the new Personal Hotspot feature?

IOS6 Personal Hotspot no longer works

Why hasn't the release of 6.0.2 included a fix for this issue? It's been a problem since the beginning of iOS6, judging from previous posts that have gone quiet.
The personal hotspot is very obviously broken since the upgrade to iOS6, which I recently upgraded my 4S to, because of Google Maps availability.
Sure, it works if I restart my phone or reset my network settings (essentially restarting my phone), but am I going to restart my phone every single time? No.
People who restart their network or phone and think that it's worked, it doesn't. Wait till you try again.
I tend to only tether my iPad Mini, and it has definitely worked prior to the upgrade. It is not the network.
When I try to tether, the iPad Mini is continuously trying to connect and on my iPhone it says there's 1 connection. But it never actually connects.
Please Apple, do something.

There is something with the 'time out' of the 4g data when a phone call is received; this is especially true with the V 4g network.
Anytime a phone call is received the personal hotspot will need to be cycled off, phone rebooted, personal hotspot on, until the software is corrected.
It has to do with the iphone on V 4g (and most European) network(s) using the same antenna for data and voice.
1. Turn OFF Wi-Fi, bluetooth, personal hotspot at: Settings>
2. cycle hotspot at: Settings>General>Cellular>Personal Hotspot = OFF (note this may still note that is it on).
3. Reboot phone (Home +On/Off switch) until apple logo appears after phone turns off.
4 Turn ON wifie under Settings>General>Cellular>Personal Hotspot = ON.
4a. IF necessary: Cycle your devices searching for the iphone wifi hotspot; it should reappear without cycling.
If your are on the phone for more than 90 seconds you'll need to do steps 1-4 all over again to re-enable wifi hot spot.
It's an annoyance; yes.

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.

How can i get my personal hotspot working on my iphone 5?

i want to activate personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but personal hotspot on my iphone is not highlighted, making it impossible for me to turn it on. I am based in Nigeria, but when my iphone was brought, it came with AT&T sim card. Now i am using MTN Nigeria Sim card. Why can't i work with personal hotspot?

You have to enable that hotspot "feature" with your mobile carrier in Nigeria.

You turn this off on the phone. Settings>Personal Hotspot>Off.
Or do not have to hear the iPad ring?
On the iPhone - Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls>Off. You can also do this on the iPad.
