Hey guys. I’m having an issue. When I connect to the wifi of my T2C from my iphone, 3 out of 4 times my phone shows the icon that it’s connected to a wifi network. When this happens, my network is super slow and my music constantly buffers. If I toggle my wifi on and off a few times, it will connect to the wifi network of the T2C device but it does not show the wifi icon in my status bar of the phone and it works perfectly.
So it seems like when connected to T2C, somewhere either on the device itself or on my phone, it’s supposed to communicate that even though I’m connected to wifi, it’s not supposed to be used as the actual internet gateway.
It’s like it’s looping data back and forth going from phone > T2C > phone > internet when it should be a direct phone > internet, which is how it initially worked and as mentioned is how it works when I toggle wifi a bunch of times.
Anyone have an idea for a fix? Is there some way I can tell iOS that this isn’t a wifi network even though I connect to it over wifi?
Alright I think I actually figured it out! In case anyone else has the same problem: I set up an automation that enables mobile hotspot when CarPlay is connected, and disables it when CarPlay disconnects. Before this I just left my hotspot on 24/7. Something about CarPlay triggering the hotspot resolves my issue for some reason.
This might’ve been posted elsewhere in this thread but it’s gotten so long that I didn’t come across it.
