[QUOTE="ManoaHi, post: 1758700, member: 264133"] I had the same problem. But there is a work around. Next time you see the pop up, go to Network (or if you go directly, System Preferences --> Network). Unlock the prefrences. If you have iPhone listed as one of the items on the left side (if not click on the + and go though the process to add it - sorry I didn't know if it would work so I didn't write down/screen shot it), click on the gear select "Make Service Inactive" and try both settings. The advice (in Apple forums) seems to be to select Make Service Inactive, but but that didn't work for me (If this works for you, then your done). Then what you do is put it as the first connection, using gear --> Set Service Order and then move it to the top. It change from "not connected" to "self assigned IP". Well, this worked for me, because I guess it is "configured". But because I have an MacBook Air, there is no Ethernet port, I have a USB 3 USB to RJ-45 adapter (the good thing is that it also works on other computers that only have USB 3 (I don't know what to do if you only have USB C), so, completely disabling the USB for network connections was not an option for me. The "hotspot" on or off seems odd because that would mean that you connect via WiFi to the phone. Ok, I don't have an iPhone 7, I have an iPhone SE but I was getting that dialog box to either click OK or setup Network. Let me know if this works for anyone. BTW, this is a work around, not a fix. In the Apple forums, people have already reported the problem to Apple, now it's up to Apple to fix. But the work around seems to work, so, I believe that will be low on Apple's to-do list. [/QUOTE]
