I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 15 beta and I think it is causing problems with my personal hotspot.

I live in a rural area with almost no options for decent, home WiFi; my options are DSL and satelite. For the last 8-9 months, I've used my iPhone's hotspot for gaming, streaming, and pretty much everything else. I've had no issues and it has saved me a ton of money!

However, the day I updated my phone to iOS 15 beta, any non-Apple device I connect my hotspot to will not load anything... For example, my PlayStation 5 is able to download software updates and game updates with pretty quick speeds when connected to my hotspot, but it will not allow me to play any games online or pull up any streaming services. It says the connection is too weak. The same thing applies to my Roku that's plugged into my TV in the bedroom. Both of these worked really well before updating.

When I connect my iPad to my hotspot, everything loads incredibly fast.

I've contacted my phone service provider and they've assured me that my cell service is not the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there anyway to fix it?

Thank you!

I'm having exactly the same problems with Rel 15.4.1. My devices that won’t connect anymore are TiVo Romaio (I have to use my sister’s old iPhone to connect for the latest guide info) and my TiVo Stream 4K. So far all the apps on the TiVo Stream 4K are connecting except Netflix and YouTube. I can Chromecast for YouTube from my iPad but not for Netflix. When I called Apple, they just suggested doing a network reset through Settings/General but that didn’t help. I never called back.

Updated my iPhone XR to iOS 15.5 and there’s no way I can get my old iPad 4 connected to the hotspot. I tried everything. I thought this problem was fixed.
