TS2756 Using the personal hotspot

I just got an iPhone 5 and want to disconnect internet service since I can use the personal hotspot. My friend's laptop will connect, but mine won't unless I use the USB connection. Any thoughts?

Hey rjnelson,
I see you came from the iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot, which is applicable to the issue you describe. If you haven't already, I would run through the steps within that article, specifically the following:
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Have a great day,
Delgadoh

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network. This works on iPhone 4.

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network. This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3. I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network. This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office. Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

Hi,
Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
This is copied from that article that I posted above.
Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

HT204023 I am not able to use the personal hotspot in the new ipad 4g version. Please help me out in this case

I am not able to use the personal hot spot in the ipad 3 the new one .

It should be in Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot - if it's not there then have you checked with your carrier to see if they support it on the iPad (and even if they support it on the iPhone they don't necessarily also support it on the iPad) ? It may also be an extra fee/subscription from them, and you could check if there is a carrier update.

Is it possible to use the personal hotspot on my phone while in airplane mode?

I have the Personal Hotspot on my phone and was wondering if while in the air (when my phone is on Airplane Mode) I could use it for wifi for my MacBook Pro.
Thanks!

To simplify Personal Hotspot, the phone needs data coming in (via cellular) to push it out (via wifi) to your MBP. As wjosten said, with Airplane Mode on, all radios are off so no cellular or wifi functions will work.

Does it cost to use the personal hotspot from my iPad to my iMac?

I am running my iMac from my iPad through the personal hotspot. Does this cost anything or is it taking data from my 15GB allowance on the iPad?

Have you got an official link to support this?

HT204023 Can i use the personal hotspot on my iphone without switchin on my cellular data ?

Perhaps it's the only device that can connect ( ie Hotel wifi)
If the iPhone can connect to the wifi, the computer can connect to the wifi.
Why use the iPhone to connect to wifi then connect the computer to the iPhone via wifi to get the computer onto hotel wifi?

HT204023 Can I use the personal hotspot on my iphone 4 to gain internet access on my Nexus 7? Do I need a tether cable?

I have an iPhone 4 with ios 6 with hotspot capability. Can I use this hotspot to gain internet access for my Nexus 7? And if so, does it require a tether cable or can I access via bluetooth? Was given the Nexus as a gift, would not have been my choice because of wi fi access capability restrictions. I am very technically challenged. Any help would be appreciated.

I am on verizon and ever since ios7, cannot use the personal hotspot

On an iPhone 5, before iOS 7, I had no problem connecting to my iphones personal hotspot via WiFi.
Then t upgraded to iOS 7, and it would connect to the hotspot, but windows 7 would say limited or no connectivity. Note no changes were made to the windows 7 machine. My nexus 7 and kindle fire also had trouble connecting. They'd show being connected to the iPhone, but you'd either get no internet or very slow internet.
I then upgraded to a 5s. Same exact problem exists.
I've tried resetting the network settings on the iPhone without any luck. I've tried disabling and enabling the wireless adapter on the window's machine, and that did not work either.
I have verified that the iPhone itself does have LTE connectivity, and speed test showed a very fast connection, in fact.
I've seen posts about updating your APN settings, however I believe Verizon blocks you from being able to change the apn-theres no way to get to it from settings on the iPhone.
Any ideas? I'm sure there are a ton of Verizon ios7 users, and since this problem occurred on two different phones even, I'd have to think this is a widespread problem.

I have reset my phone a large number of times. It doesn't work. I am now reseting and setting it up as a new phone every 2 days. It works for a while and then teh cycle repeats.

Your tagline shows that you have an iPad2. You can't use the personal hotspot with the second generation iPad.

I want to block or possible delete the personal hotspot feature from an iPhone 5

I Have an iphone 5 on a verizon network plan in which I would like to block/ possibly delete the personal hotspot feature. I have a person on my family plan that is eating up all the data using personal hotspot to get internet on an iPad. I still want this person to have access to 4G for gps/emailing purposes, I just don't need him eating up all the data using the personal hotspot feature. So, does anybody know how to block it or restrict the use of it? I've already tried looking on the iphone itself, but no luck. Looked on Verizon website, no such thing either. Any help is appreciated!!

Call Verizon and ask them to block the feature as sberman suggests. You can't access all features from the website. Some of them require that you talk to a rep.

HT204023 I was able to activate and use my personal hotspot with my iPad4 yesterday but today it says I have to contact my carrier! I did make the $50 payment today as my data was used up this morning, could that be the issue? How long does it take to w

So yesterday was the first time I used my iPad's personal hotspot, and it was great. Just click on it and typed in the password on my laptop. This morning while working out my iPad's data plan ran out so I paid another $50 and was good to go. However when I tried the personal hotspot, I get a message to contact my carrier. What is up with that?

Contact your carrier and ask them.

I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop using my personal hotspot. Stopped working all of a sudden. Any tips as to why?

I used to always use my personal hotspot and connect to the internet on my laptop. Then one day it stopped working. I updated my phone so my hotspot password changed, so I changed that in the properties. It now says it's connected to my iPhone and there's internet access, but when I try to do anything it says not connected.

It shows a connection. When using wifi n USB. I don't know how to connect using Bluetooth seeing what it says to do is totally different from my computer.
I do have a connection but I can only connect to some sites, I tried YouTube n nfl.com n they both worked but google, hotmail n Facebook said couldn't connect.
I tried using safari on my computer n like explorer I could only connect to a few different websites.
