After trying troubleshoot suggestions except Reset All Settings option, I need help with automatically reconnecting to my hotspot.
I am having problems with iPhone maintaining a Wi-Fi connection which is frustrating – especially when I have limited data available on your contract and don’t want to switch to cellular (5G) in order to get a better signal.
TROUBLESHOOTED AS BELOW
① I ruled out temperament Wi-Fi is stopping iPhone from connecting to cellular whenever the Wi-Fi is weak. But anyhow I already turned off Wi-Fi Assist. ② I cannot see how my hotspot signal strength is a problem because I am carrying its iPad in my computer bag and my iPhone is in my pocket; signal strength is strong enough to maintain the connection because at least three lines in the Wi-Fi symbol are filled in.
③ forgetting’ the network details and starting over. (forgetting the network and then setting it up again often fixes problems with connecting to specific networks).
④ Settings > Ask to Join Networks: Notify.
⑤ Auto-Join Hotspot: Automatic
⑥ Settings: Reset.
- Select the Reset Network Settings option.
- You’ll need to enter your iPhone passcode to confirm the decision, then the device will reboot.
⑦ battery shows 100 when I experience said issue. I prefer not to go to Apple authorised dealer to change battery primarily due to budget concern and secondarily a half day I experienced with my Mom phone. ⑧ another website suggesting low data mode. I turned off low data mode; my disconnect is now improved to 30 minutes. But this is not ideal because of extraneous data consumption. ⑨ another website suggesting Family sharing; when both devices are same Apple ID, but is identical Apple ID considered Family Sharing for hotspot?
