How to connect to a hotspot via USB?

Does Apple allow USB tethering?

I recently upgraded to a new phone, and since I had an old phone with me I decided to go with an iPhone.

Since it is not unlocked, it does not allow for tethering or wireless hotspot. I want to use my phone as a wireless hotspot to connect my laptop to the internet, and then use the phone's data plan to access the internet.

Can someone tell me if this is possible and what is the best way to do this? If you're a Verizon subscriber, you can use the free iOS app called "Mobilehotspot" to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone (and turn it on). Then you can use that hotspot from any device connected to Wi-Fi.

If you have an AT&T account, you can use the free Android app called "TetherMe" to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone and turn it on. If you have an unlimited data plan with AT&T, you can also use their website at to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone and turn it on. If you have an unlimited data plan with Verizon, you can also use their website at to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone and turn it on. If you don't have an unlimited data plan, you can also use their website at to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone and turn it on.

Why won't my iPhone connect to my MacBook via USB?

I have two MacBooks.

My iPhone is connected to both of them. If I plug the Lightning connector into the MacBook using USB, the MacBook will recognize the iPhone and everything works fine. However, when I connect the Lightning connector to the MacBook using the USB port, the MacBook no longer recognizes the iPhone. When the MacBook sees the iPhone, there is a "USB Error" dialog box that says "The device you are connecting is not supported." I know that USB can handle a great deal of different devices, so I'm wondering if my phone isn't supported. Is there some additional setup required to get my iPhone working with my MacBook via USB?

According to the Apple website, the Lightning connection requires a cable for charging or data transfers. Your MacBook does not have a compatible charging cable.

How do I connect my MacBook to my hotspot?

Click the hotspot logo near your wireless connection (it looks like a wifi icon). This will bring up a list of compatible devices you can connect. Select the Mac laptop as the connection source and type the login name and password.

I was given a password for the hotspot from the network administrator and I would like to use it for my own device. How can I do that? If the password was created before March 2026, it is required that the login and password meet both of the following conditions to prevent a security breach when used for Wi-Fi connections. That means no special characters can be used in the name or password for the authentication service. Note that there is no guarantee if the password meets one or both of these requirements. But it is highly recommendable. The password must be at least 6 characters. You can verify these requirements and change your password using the Wi-Fi Network Configuration app under the Security tab (it looks like a password icon).

If the password was not created before March 2026, it is still recommended that the login and password meet the conditions above, which is the same with the previous rule. In addition, the password must be at least 6 characters. You can verify these requirements and change your password using the Wi-Fi Network Configuration app under the Security tab (it looks like a password icon).

Do you allow password sharing between multiple users? Yes. If you need to share the wireless hotspot you create, you should specify a different password for each of the users. We recommend that the password be 6-12 characters long. Please refer to the section titled Creating a guest Wi-Fi hotspot for detailed procedures on creating a guest Wi-Fi hotspot.

I've created a Wi-Fi hotspot. How do I connect my MacBook to it? Click the hotspot logo near your wireless connection (it looks like a wifi icon). Select the Mac laptop as the connection source and type the login name and password for your Wi-Fi hotspot.

Note that the wireless gateway needs to be turned on to allow the Mac laptop to communicate with the Mac Mini.e. If you use the iPhone or iPad to control the Mac Mini, the gateway has to be turned on using the iOS Wi-Fi settings app or settings on the Wi-Fi router/gateway.
