chromebook will not connect to iphone hotspot

I had the same problem with my lenovo flex 5 and iphone 15 hotspot.

I posted on the Chromebook Community and got a workaround that appears to be working at least for now. Here is the Chromebook workaround link. https://support.google.com/chromebook/thread/283878343?hl=en&msgid=285681809

The text was a little unclear so I wrote what I did below:

 1) Open Chrome browser

2) Typed in address bar chrome:\\flags and hit enter. This takes you to Experiments.

3) searched for IPV6 which returned the following: "Enable RFC8925 (prefer IPv6-only on IPv6-only-capable network)"

4) changed drop-down menu from default to disabled.

5) hit restart button

6) connected iPhone hotspot that now has internet connection!

It should be noted that this setting is in Experiments and there is this warning:"WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES AHEAD! By enabling these features, you could lose browser data or compromise your security or privacy. Enabled features apply to all users of this browser. If you are an enterprise admin you should not be using these flags in production."

Have not had any issues since changing this setting.

Hope this helps.

The Hotspot is a Carrier Specific feature. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider), the agency that issued the SIM / eSIM to you.

See the Pic below the Hotspot is made available based on the Mobile Data selected and the feature that is enabled by the Carrier

I have the same problem. T-Mobile went through the same process. I had a 30 minute tech support phone call with them. The representative concluded, I need to contact Apple support. Please help! Note: We have the same issue on two different IPhones. We used to be able to connect to the hot spot and now we can't. The phones appear to connect, then there is a network error when the internet is used. Also I am using a Samsung Chrome Book.

My I phone 14 hot spot allows my Mac and windows product to connect just fine to apple t mobile hot spot and can be used for internet connection but chrome book connects but will not use signal to reach internet. Chrome book will however connect to t mobile home. And other modem internets just fine.

a real pain when I am traveling and n I d the connection

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it but still no go with this Chromebook not connecting to my iPhone hotspot. Everything worked until they updated and that was it won’t connect. I’m beyond upset and so very frustrated not being able to use my laptop. I’ve been through T-Mobile’s crazy tech not support and don’t know what else to do.

Me too and I’m past being frustrated! No one seems to know how to fix it. Everything was fine until my iPhone updated the time before the last one. I’ve called my cell carrier, Google, and Apple and I’m still without use of my Chromebook.

THANK YOU!!! This fixed it 5 seconds after 1.5 hrs wasted going nowhere with phone company’s tech support. Shoulda googled it!

I have trying my Chromebook it’s working.
