Share Internet Via Bluetooth Windows 7
Jemima Torguson
Trying to use my Iphone hotspot out and about and it will not show on my wifi settings on my laptop. Have tried running network adapters troubleshooter and switching airplane mode on and off again on both devices. I can connect to other iphone hotspots on the laptop and my hotspot shows for other laptops. Any advice?
Yes, it's turned on. Yes, the settings are all correct. Yes, I reset the phone's network. Nothing makes it show up on the Windows machine. It *does* show up on my ipad, so it's broadcasting the hotspot's name. But Windows 11 does not seem to see it. Tried everything on both iphone and laptop. Nothing. The only way to connect via my phone's connection is with a usb connection. Anyone have any ideas?
In my case, I found that Windows 11 wants you to go an extra step. Maybe 3 or 4 steps, if a click is a step. You now have to go into Settings > Bluetooth & devices, and lo, your enabled iPhone hotspot should be there, THEN you have to open up the properties ellipses for the device, where you will see a "Join Personal Area Network (PAN)" link that pops out.
Click that link, THEN another link is presented in a "Bluetooth Personal Area Network" window. (sigh) And in That Thing, there is a dropdown selection list with a single item. This is labelled "Access Point" click that and then of course, click the "Connect" button that appears under there and now, now my friend, after a great sampler of possible widgets - you are in business.
I connected using bluetooth. I turned it on on both devices and connected the laptop to the iphone. Then I went to 'bluetooth and devices' on my laptop and the devices were displayed on the screen. On the picture where the iPhone was shown, I clicked on the three dots and selected 'connect to a personal short-range network'. On the bottom right of the screen, where the Wi-Fi icon would normally be, a different image is now displayed, but the internet is working for me.
On the device that you want to connect, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for your iPhone or iPad in the list. Then tap the Wi-Fi network to join. If asked, enter the password for your Personal Hotspot."
I was having this issue, checking my Windows 11 tablet prior to travelling. I found that for the iPhone to appear on the list of available networks, it needs to be on a 4G network, not the normal (home) Wifi. Once you open the Settings / Personal Hotspot screen, you will see that the phone switches from WiFi to 4G (or presumably 5G). Once this happens, the iPhone network connection appears more reliably on the list of Available Networks on the Windows 11 device.
Brand new IPhone 15 Pro here and I have the same issue, and everything online is useless to fix it. My hotspot is invisible to share it with others (but it works with my MacBook), for example I recently tried unsuccessfully to connect a Samsung TV, sooo annoying!!! And the this is the top tier smartphone in the market. I had to remove the SIM card and put it in my old Galaxy S10 that now I keep in my bag for all my trips to be able to get an internet hotspot that is reliable.
Bluetooth tethering is one of the ways of sharing the wireless connection of an Android device with another device using Bluetooth. Say, you are using mobile data, and someone wants to use your data as well but you do not want to disclose the password. What would you do in that case? The answer is Bluetooth tethering, which is available on Android version 2.2 and above.
1. Turn on Bluetooth on both phones. Open Bluetooth settings and keep both devices Discoverable. You can do this via Settings->Bluetooth->Turn on. Keep this screen open.
2. Go to Control Panel->Network and Internet->Network Connections. You will see Bluetooth Network Connection Connected to Redmi (name of the phone). Disable the Wireless Local Area Network.
5. After a few seconds, the laptop will show an Internet connection via Bluetooth.
In this case, Internet speed will be limited because of the limitations of Bluetooth technology. This technique is useful when you do not want to give Wi-Fi password to anyone.
Sharing Wi-Fi via Bluetooth is not a native feature supported by most devices. Bluetooth technology is primarily used for short-range wireless communication between devices and does not have the capability to share Wi-Fi internet connections.
To share your Wi-Fi internet connection with another device, you can use alternative methods such as creating a Wi-Fi hotspot on your device or using tethering options like USB tethering or Wi-Fi hotspot tethering.
Note: The steps may vary slightly depending on the operating systems and devices you are using. Additionally, some laptops may require additional software or drivers for internet sharing over Bluetooth.
Tethering in your mobile is not on. Each time when your phone get switched off you always need to re-on tethering option in your phone.

When you share a Personal Hotspot from your iPhone, it uses cellular data for the internet connection. To monitor your cellular data network usage, go to Settings > Cellular. See View or change cellular data settings on iPhone.
I am trying to reverse tether--share the internet connection FROM my laptop via Bluetooth to my Android phone. They pair but no success with a shared internet connection to the phone. I have done a standard tether from the phone to the laptop via USB cable to share the phone's internet connectivity. I've also created a Wifi hotspot from a laptop running Windows 10 and shared the Windows laptop's internet with the phone.
What in Blueman or Android settings am I missing to make this work via Bluetooth and Zorin? I have the Network Access Point box checked. PAN support and DUN Support both have Network Manager checked. Could it be the IP address assigned in NAP settings is the culprit?
On the Android phone, under Hotspot and Tethering, Bluetooth tethering only has the option to share the phone's internet connection though I've tried it both ways. Wifi is deinfinitely OFF on the phone as is cellular service. There is no sim card in the phone.
Not all phones can reverse tether over USB or Bluetooth.
However a hotspot from your laptop should work, if you are using a wired connection, I have not done this in a while but I know with ubuntu 18* you could not share a wifi network over a secondary ad-hoc hotspot. To Clarify you can't use the same wifi adapter to do both in most cases*
and thought it might go. You are right about phones. I've tried two. One is a pretty cool little flip phone that runs Kaios but tells me to turn wireless on when cellular is off. I don't see a obvious way to remedy that.
But with the Android phone and this Blueman link above I thought Bluetooth would do it. I am needing to do it via Bluetooth (or USB) because I will be working in an area with no cell phone coverage and wifi is not permissible at the work site nor are cell phones permissible on the network. My goal is to receive 2FA texts from my bank to my cell phone via WiFi calling with the phone tethered to the laptop.
Tethering your iPhone to your Windows 10 PC using Bluetooth is not hard at all. But, while Bluetooth is a convenient and wireless way to get internet from your iPhone to your PC, it is limited to 1 Mbps (Bluetooth 4) or 2 Mbps (Bluetooth 5). If you have fast 4G / LTE speeds on your iPhone, you might get better results with USB or Wi-Fi tethering.
iPhone Bluetooth tethering to a Windows 10 PC is useful when you want to share the Internet connection from your iPhone. You can also combine the tethered connection on your PC with a Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet or cellular 3G / 4G / LTE dongle connection using the Speedify app. This will get you faster, more stable and secure Internet.
To enable tethering on Android, head to Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & Tethering, then choose between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering. Once you enable tethering, connect your device, and your phone will start sharing its internet connection.
Tethering is useful when you're somewhere where and don't have Wi-Fi access, but you do have cellular data access---and you want to do something on your computer instead of your phone. But you may pay extra for the convenience.
Depending on your carrier, this may or may not cost you money. In the US, most major carriers charge extra for tethering. Consult your carrier's website for more information about what they charge for tethering. An additional $20 fee to tether isn't unusual in the USA.
It's possible to get around these restrictions by installing and using a third-party tethering app, or if you're rooted, unblocking Android's built-in tethering feature. However, your carrier may notice you're tethering anyway -- they can tell because web traffic from your laptop looks different from web traffic from your mobile phone---and they may helpfully add a tethering plan to your account, charging you the standard tethering fee. If you're lucky, they may not notice, just don't be surprised if they make you pay the tethering fee.
Of course, standard data limits and charges apply. For example, if your carrier provides 2GB of data per month and you use 3GB between tethering and your normal smartphone usage, you'll be subject to your plan's normal penalties---extra charges or speed throttling---even if the carrier doesn't notice you're tethering.
Android has a built-in Wi-Fi tethering feature, although it may be disabled by some carriers if you don't pay for a tethering plan. (Again, though, if you're rooted, you can unblock Android's built-in tethering feature.)
You'll be able to configure your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot, changing its SSID (name) and password. Leave the security set to WPA3 (probably WPA3-Personal) unless you need to use an older device that doesn't support this encryption standard. WPA3 is the best standard available for regular consumer hardware on modern devices, and you should always use it when you can.
