Ipad hot spot connection trouble

I connect my ipad to the internet via a hot spot on my iphone. Worked perfectly for months and suddenly it won't connect. My phone says there is 1 connection and ipad says connected but the ipad never shows a check beside the iphone hotspot. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If the hotspot you are trying to connect to is a "captive portal" type of hotspot, which are commonly found in public locations, such as hotels, airports, cafes, etc. If you are connecting to this type of public hotspot, you may be required to complete an additional step before you will be allowed to access the internet. This may be to login/register for an account, acknowledge terms of acceptable use, pay for access time (if its not a free hotspot), or some other similar action. If this is the case, you will be redirected to a login page in your browser after you connect to the WiFi network using the steps that @Weth listed above.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • How can I get the hot spot connection to say working on my phone?

    I cannot get my hot spot connection to stay working.

    There are phone companies that do only allow tethering with more expensive rates. Would have to talk with your company to see if your phone can rate tethering.

  • Hot spot connection:

    i have a htc incredible phone with the data plan (of course)  i want to add the hot spot feature 2G for $20.00 per month.  what kind of cable do i need  to connect it to my laptop from my phone.  i do not think that it came with a cord that fits into my phone and then has a usb cable on the other end?  thanks teddy 234

    Hello teddy234,
    As always, it's my pleasure to assist in answering any concerns that you may have on our products and services. The mobile hot spot is an excellent service that I personally use with my other wireless devices. In my opinion, this is the most convenient form of internet access because you don't need a cord to use it. Once you have the feature added to your account, the setup process takes place right on the device. I have posted the steps below for your review if you have already subscribed to this service.
    1.  Press Menu and All Apps.
    2.  Select 3G Mobile Hotspot.
    3.  Change the Router Name and enter a network password (highly recommended)
    4.  Touch the Check Box to activate the mobile hotspot.
    Once you have completed these steps then there will be a check next to mobile hotspot. Yes, it's THAT easy! Depending on what wi-fi enabled device you are using, laptop, Ipad, etc., there will be additional steps involved to join the hotspot network on that device. If you need assistance with connecting your wi-fi device to the hotspot then do not hesitate to reply back to this message for additional assistance.
    Thank you...

  • Hot spot connection fail to my i phone6

    Hi I've got I phone 6 last week, and I've tried to use hot spot for my I-pad air.

    What am I need to do to solve the problem??

    Method-1: Steps to reset Wi-Fi settings
    Step-1: Remove your settings for Wi-Fi such as DNS and password 
    Step-2: Open Settings app on the device
    Step-3: Choose General>> Reset and press the option called Reset Network Settings [This will enable users to reset configuration for network.] (This will delete all network settings, returning them to factory settings.)
    Step-4: Launch Settings again. The problem should be fixed and users should now be able to locate their personal Hotspot
    Method-2: Steps to change APN Settings
    Step-1: Navigate to Settings, choose General>> Network>> Cellular Data Network
    Step-2: From Cellular Data Network, search for an option called Internet Tethering
    Step-3: Re-type APN and Username/Password [if required]
    All the best !

  • Hot spot connection flashes on my iPhone when connected to my iPad

    When I connect my iPhone to my iPad via personal hotspot, the hotspot connected message flashes on my iPhone and the connection breaks after about five minutes. Tried turning both devices off and on and that didn't work.

    Go to setting > ITunes & App store > then turn off automatic download .....

  • Hot Spot Connectivity

    I've had this phone for about a week now and i think i have most everything figured out except a couple...i've been having trouble connecting to free wifi such as mcdonalds,etc....no problems at home though...a page will come up with a network name to enter but i ignore that and go back to wifi page and it will say connected to what ever network it scans and finds..but when i tap my browser app cannot find browser page comes up...anyone know what i may be doing wrong?
       and secondly this is not that big of a deal but are there reminder alerts such as calls,text.and voicemails?...or do i just have to keep checking my phone if its in a place where i cant here it?

    There are no reminder alerts on the Kin, sorry. If you missed the notification, you'll have to wake up the phone to see if anything new is showing on the main screen.
    Re: Wi-Fi hotspots ... I connected to Wi-Fi at Starbucks using a Kin. When I turned on Wi-Fi, I got a prompt saying the network was found and asking if I wanted to connect. Then it took me to a Web page, where I had to agree to AT&T's terms.
    I don't remember if I had to do this, but maybe when the Wi-Fi network page comes up, you have to select "Open" to indicate open network?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Can use use your iphone 4s as a hot spot to connect to a ipad

    can i use my iphone 4s with hot spot to connet to my ipad.  if so is secure for paying bills and banking.

    You can use it if your carrier supports it. Some carriers charge an extra fee to use it, or they used to back in the day. The hotspot will be as secure as the banking website that you use. I think it is incumbent on the institution to make sure that their websites are secure. I don't think you should have any worries.
