Personal Hotspot not working over Wi-Fi on iOS 13

Question

After upgrade to iOS 13 from 12.4, I noticed that personal hotspot isn't working anymore over Wi-Fi (via USB is ok).

Tested on two computers with Win7. The PC can connect to Wi-Fi, but no valid IP (IPv4) is assigned and no connection is working to internet.

why to downgrade. Update to iOS 13.1 . iOS 13.0 had a lot of bugs — Udhy, Commented Oct 3, 2019 at 14:20
okay. If you haven't downgrade then first reboot your machine and try again (sound weird but major solution for many things). Then, one more point SSID comes with your iPhone name. Change it if you want and check it. In windows, if you have already connected with same SSID, then I would suggest try with new password and check it. — Udhy, Commented Oct 3, 2019 at 14:31

Seems that iOS 13.1.2 Personal Hotspot's DHCP is not working, at least on Win7. What what was done was assigning client IP manually (on the PC)

IP Address: 172.20.10.11
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router: 172.20.10.1
DNS: 172.20.10.1

Now is working.

Thanks for this. Please can you give more details about how to assign a client IP manually on Windows 7. I haven't found where I should enter this information.

I found a workaround which works fine for me.

While connected to the hotspot open a cmd and enter the following commands:

After that, the client gets instantly a correct IP-Adress from the DHCP.

thanks a lot, I just created a batch file for that. Until Apple will bother to fix this embarrassment, this is the quickest fix I found so far.

I got it to work in IOS 13.1.2.

It is important you do not select the hotspot from the Wi-Fi list, that does not seem to work for me.
