IPhone 4S personal hotspot "No Internet connection"

I am trying to tether wifi to my toshiba pc that is running on windows 7 from my iPhone 4S But When I try doing this my computer registers the connection to my phone but it comes up with "No Internet connection"
Can someone please help me out with this. 

I had a lot of trouble connecting my pc. The Blue Bar was saying ! connection & I could see throughput but it wouldn't go online. & in my case I used USB but you may find this usefull....
This is what I did:
in settings under Safari on my 4s II cleared all cookies & history & I set Accept cookies to ALWAYS
then on the PC I created a 2nd LA connection in network connections. The 1st is connected to a router with WIFI but so far I have persisited with USB as WIFI seemed less likely but it may work now, I havn't checked.
I then opened propeties of the LA connection 2 & hit the ADVANCED tab & checked "Allow other network uses to connect to this computers internet connection".
I then opened Settings in the 'Internet connection Sharing' dialog & an SERVICES tab opens. In this page there is a list of check boxs for ..internet protocals, DNS servers, mail servers etc. Check them all.
this time when I opened my browser it finally got online.
I then opened the settings list again & there were some extra checkboxes from some extra protocals, whatever that it found after it first loaded up google search page.
Sorted. I hope this helps.

    I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

    Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

  • Laptop connects to iPhone 4s personal hotspot but internet doesn't work

    I want to be able to use internet on my PC laptop (or any wi-fi capable device) with my 4S as the wi-fi hotspot. The laptop I'm using (Windows XP) sees my phone and connects to it (with full connectivity) but web pages won't load (there doesn't seem to be internet connectivity). What am I missing here? I've read you need a separate tethering plan with your wireless provider in order to use your phone as a personal hotspot? That's pretty dumb considering I'm already paying for a data plan and now they want more money on top of that in order to use that? Stupid...

    You can call it all the names you want, but the bottom line is that without purchasing a tethering plan, you can't share your internet connection.

    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?

  • Can't get new macbook air to connect to iPhone 3gs personal hotspot

    I set up Personal Hotspot to connect my old MacBook Air to my ATT iPhone 3GS with no problem. (The 3GS connects via Bluetooth.)
    Then I updated to the new MacBook Air, and now I'm out of luck. The phone and the MBA complete Bluetooth pairing, but that's as far as it goes--they can't connect beyond that. The iPhone never appears under the Bluetooth icon in the MBA's menu bar. Restarting does not cure it. If I touch "MacBook Air" under Bluetooth settings in the iPhone, I tries to connect but then asks me to make sure the MBA is within range. (It's a foot away.)
    Anybody?
    Thanks!

    I had the weirdest thing happen. I've seen that link for the Bluetooth troubleshooting all over the forums, but could not for the life of me get my iPhone 3GS to share its Internet connection with my 2011 MBA. USB worked great, but no love for Bluetooth.
    Deleted the pairing 5, 6 times, rebooted both phone and MBA several times, even deleted the Bluetooth preferences files.
    In desperation, I tried pairing the phone with my 2006 iMac, and was able to get an Internet connection going. And lo and behold, the MBA pairing started to work too.
    Sorry, I have no solution here, since I don't actually know what I did to make it work (if anything!) but that's what happened for me.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I connect my PC to my iPhone's Personal Hotspot?

    It takes hours (2-3 or more) to download updates to various software.  I use my iPhone in personal hotspot mode paired to my laptop to do this.  How can i speed up the downloads?

    It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier.  Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

  • IPhone 5 personal hotspot with MBP has extremely low speed

    I have MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and iPhone 5s iOS 8.2

    When i use internet on my phone (Cellular 3g) i usually have connection speed in range 1.5 - 4.5 mbps (on download).

    Please, help me.

  • IPhone 4S Personal HotSpot not appearing in MacBook Pro or iPad2

    I've been struggling for a long time detecting my iPhone 4S Personal Hotspot on my MacBook Pro and my iPad2.  Apple support has not been able to resolve the issue.  Sometimes the iPhone would show up; most of the time, not.
    Recently, after learning that Siri cannot read Messages to me when I have a passcode in effect, it occurred to me that maybe the Personal Hotspot doesn't show when the phone is locked and/or passcode protected.  I've been doing some testing and I think I've demonstrated to myself that this is true.
    Each time I want to connect my MacBook or my iPad to the hotspot, I find I have to slide the lock to open the phone before either piece of equipment will detect it and connect.  I also notice that it takes a long time before the hotspot appears.
    With previous smartphones, the hotspot appeared quickly and was always easy to detect as long as it was enabled.
    Has anyone else had the same experiences?

    I've since resolved this problem - at least so I can cope with it without too much hassle.
    You said your phone is unlocked.  Do you have a passcode enabled?
    In my experience and testing (Apple support has been useless on this problem), I've narrowed it down to making sure the phone is unlocked and passcode disabled.  Either feature alone will block the WiFi hotspot.  [By the way, I've also learned that Siri is blocked from reading text messages, etc. when the passcode is in effect - even if you are using a Bluetooth device that is already paired with the phone.  Obviously, you must be the owner of the phone if you've pair your device to it.]
    I went to my local Apple store on a Genius support visit.  I demonstrated how enabling either feature blocks my iPad's ability to detect the hotspot, and disabling both allows my iPad to see the hotspot.  The guy just said he had never seen that before, and that they are always learning new things.  He didn't do anything to elevate the case to higher level support, like Apple engineering.  I just left the store and that was it.
    I've explained this to Apple support more than once and they never seem to be aware of it.  I'm supposed to call to speak with a management level guy, but I haven't remembered to make the call.
    So, I walk around with an unsecured phone all the time so I can conveniently access my WiFi hotspot.  And I have to make sure the phone it unlocked until the connection is established so my computer or iPad will find it.  Otherwise, all I can see is everyone else's equipment.
    Maybe people don't use the hotspot much.  Apple doesn't seem to care.

  • Very slow wirelesss when using iPhone 4S' personal hotspot for a MacBook Pro (MBP)...

    Hello.
    Last night, I was helping a client with his old iPhone 4S' personal hotspot as shown in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4517 web page. It uses Verizon Wireless 3G for his 4 GB data cellular connection. We got the wireless (WPA2) connection to work fine, but it was very slow like crappy dial-up modem speeds. Is this normal? iPhone's iOS v8.1.2's top screen says 1X (is this a speed number?) and left of MBP. Updated Mac OS X 10.8.5's top screen shows an infinite(?) symbol instead of that wifi arc symbol.
    Thank you in advance.

    yes, 1x is a speed indicator, and it is very slow. Even with 3g speeds, hotspot will be pretty slow, but still ok for simple surfing and emails and such, streaming not so much. For hotspot, you really kinda want to have at least 4g, preferably LTE.
    About that 1x speed, you may want to see if you get that everywhere or just in that location. Ideally, in a good coverage area, you should not be getting such slow speeds. Might have something to do with the building you are in though. If you get the same outdoors, and your coverage area is good, you may want to call in and have someone troubleshoot your signal.

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.
