Changing iPhone Hotspot Frequency

Overview

When connecting a device to your iPhone's hotspot, you may encounter difficulties if the device cannot detect the hotspot. By default, iPhone hotspots use a 5 GHz band which may not be compatible with some devices. Switching to a 2.4 GHz band can resolve this issue.

Steps to Change iPhone Hotspot Band

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down to find the option labeled Personal Hotspot.
3. Once in the Personal Hotspot settings, look for the option called Maximize Compatibility.
4. Enable Maximize Compatibility—this will shift the hotspot from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz.

Conclusion

Switching your iPhone hotspot to a 2.4 GHz band can make it discoverable for devices that do not support the 5 GHz frequency. If this guide was helpful, please consider subscribing and liking the content.
