[iPhone] iPhone6 - Verizon - Personal Hotspot issue (solution)Posting this in case people might run into this problem.
iPhone6 upgrade (from 5) on Verizon. Personal Hotspot always worked fine on the 5 - would not maintain a wifi connection on the 6. Yet 2 iPads had no problem. On and off fiddling with it for weeks - stumbled upon a solution (don't recall exactly where I saw it) - which has to do with Power Saving on the wireless NIC.
On the Win 8.x device, you basically need to change the Wireless Adapter Power Saving Mode to "Maximum Performance" (found under the power plans settings).
Posting this here because the natural tendency given the situation is to assign fault to the iPhone. While I'm guessing that might be true (perhaps the WiFi is more aggressive in power saving to extend battery life ?) - to work around it you have to change the laptop setting.
Hope that helps someone. |
