iPhone hotspot - IPv4

Am I right in thinking that the hotspot uses IPv6? Is it possible to change this to 4? Trying to connect my car system to WiFi but it requires 4

Re: iPhone hotspot - IPv4

What iPhone do you have? Try enabling 'maximise compatibility' to make it use 2.4Ghz, rather the 5Ghz.

Re: iPhone hotspot - IPv4

Are you in Ireland? VM UK don’t use IPv6 at all.

Re: iPhone hotspot - IPv4

No - I’m in England. Trying to get a VW Golf to connect to my hotspot!

that’s interesting if they don’t use IPv6 here. That was my last hope for finding the solution!

Re: iPhone hotspot - IPv4

Ended up resetting the WLAN on the car and it seems to have sorted it
