MacBook Pro connected to Personal Hotspot but no internet

Wi-Fi not available:

Launch a browser and enter this easy to remember all-numeric IP address:

1.1.1.1 

in the address bar,  and press return.

If you get the CloudFlare** splash page, or more recently, a web page with the Words [NOT an error message]

‘Not Found’ followed by a come-on to “switch to 1.1.1.1” services, your internet is working, but DNS lookup may not be working.

**CloudFlare is NOT part of the solution, they just own the easiest to remember all-numeric IP Address (does not require a DNS lookup.)

Usually shutting down & rebooting both devices fixes that.

Broken personal hotspot - no internet but connected

My hotspot does not work, my macbook pro conncets, wifi connnection logo is green but I have no internet.

My mobile is a XiamoMi REDMI note, the macbook pro is late 2015

old issue, new issue, what changed...?

I have had this issue before myself, renewing the DHCP lease on the fly sorted the issue immediately.

No resolve— Hotspot is a Carrier service/option/plan if you have this service try simply resetting your Network settings... no harm there.

Settings>General>Transfer or Reset iPhone>Reset>Reset Network Settings <—————————RESET

If you see SOS, No Service, or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Still no resolve query your Carrier support for a look see on there end if there is a issue.

what does your cellular Carrier/Provider say when you ask them?

These are all very general options, they do not work.

Those are all very specific resolves to issues like yours.
