Thank you Jake. So the only difference from the time the router wasn’t connecting to your iPhone hotspot, is to use maximize compatibility, which means 2.4GHz I want to use 2.4ghz in both the lan and wwan because that provides the longest range Instead of wwanhotspot, I used travelmate (similar)
Nice video. I have almost the same config on my openwrt, except I dont have wwanhotspot installed. Problem is that when the iPhone hotspot is restarted, the openwrt is not able to pick up even restarting it, I think problem is due to iphone channel is changed and openwrt locks channel when it was set up. So to resolve have to reset the whole device and reapply all. In this case, does installing wwanhotspot helps?
Yes, you will need to open your phones settings when you re enter the space of the router, but the router will find it and automatically connect. When I walk away from my house and return, even if my hotspot setting remains on the hotspot turns off, opening the settings on my phone fixes this, no router configuration is required

I’m trying to connect TL-WR902AC to iPhone 12 hotspot. Do you have any instructions?
I connect iPhone 12 to router at 6 mins in, are you having any problems?
