[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1919259, member: 204485"] I take it you are living remotely if you have no home internet? In Settings on your iPhone 12 lookup "hotspot". It should be under Mobile data, make sure it's [B]on[/B] and Allow Others to Join is [B]on[/B] also. Now, open WiFi settings from the WiFi icon on the menu bar and you should see the name of your iPhone in the list of networks available. Be aware that you need Bluetooth on as well on both devices. Macs and iPhones use a combination of Bluetooth and WiFi to communicate. I'm assuming you have Monterey on your new MBP, what iOS are you running on your iPhone? You should not have to reset your network settings each time. "I wonder who had the brilliant idea of eliminating USB ports... :-(". Simple answer, Apple did. You can buy a simple USB-A to USB-C adaptor on line from any major mail order site (once you are reliably online of course). Like this, or smaller. [ATTACH]36986[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
