Weird, wouldn’t work on my actual hotspot(Inseego brand) but works when connected to iPhone ??‍

That's one way to incentivize people to pay for Connect+ once the trial period is over

We have one vendor at work that charges a credit card surcharge, they also charge a "pay by check" fee. They have no physical office so you can't pay cash and they don't accept ACH.
I once asked them "how do we pay just our invoice amount with no additional fees", their response was "at this time you can only pay by credit card or check".

Wasn’t working this morning but after I parked my truck for a couple of hours and went to try it again and now it’s working.

Mine wasn’t working at first but I think it was the order I used to connect.

1. While in my driveway and connected to my home WiFi, I accessed WiFi settings in my R1S.
2. I opened my phone settings/personal hotspot.
3. My phone displayed on the list and I clicked it and entered the password.

It failed each time.

It finally worked when I did this..

1. I toggled the WiFi button off within the R1S.
2. I opened my phone settings/personal hotspot page.
3. I toggled the WiFi button on within the R1S and my phone displayed.
4. I immediately clicked on my phone, entered my password and it connected successfully.

I did not follow the instructions I posted earlier here. ? I guess I felt I did this in the past so I winged it. ? WRONG!

Just got the update, tethering while driving works fine for me.

I can’t even get my phone hotspot to appear as an available WiFi network

Make sure it does not have any funky characters in the name. There is a know bug about special characters.

I have no issues connecting to my phone but the WiFi drops when it goes into drive. I was not planning on using that feature so no big deal at this point.

Have the same issue. 2022 R1T.
R1T connects to the phone hotspot in park. Put in drive and a "line" goes through the wifi icon.

Originally was not working for me but is working today.

Thanks. I do have an apostrophe. I’ll remove from the hotspot name and see if that does the trick.

@SANZC02 that worked! Thanks again. Never would have figured that out.
