Unable to stream Netflix using iPhone personal hotspot : NW-3-6 error

If you own a Smart TV, you usually don’t need to rely on your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot to stream Netflix or other services. Most modern Smart TVs already come with popular streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and more built-in as part of their features.

If your TV does not include the streaming apps you want, you can ask the dealer or manufacturer about it. Sometimes apps can be added through the TV’s app store, or in some cases, the dealer may guide you on compatible streaming devices (such as Apple TV, Fire Stick, or Chromecast) that can provide the missing services.

It’s also important to note that many streaming platforms do not officially support streaming over a mobile Personal Hotspot due to licensing restrictions, bandwidth concerns, or quality limitations. For the best experience, connect your Smart TV directly to Wi-Fi or use a streaming device that supports the apps you need.

A few Smart TVs do allow you to connect to a Personal Hotspot, but this option is entirely dependent on the TV’s settings and features. There’s nothing you can change on the iPhone side to make it work. If you want to explore this option, check your TV’s manual or contact the dealer for guidance on how to set it up.
