Hi,
I've been able to successfully use my iPhone as a hotspot for a Raspberry Pi 3A+ (wpa_supplicant.conf configuration), but when trying this with CircuitPython & the Pico W, after correctly specifying the name of my iPhone in the WIFI_SSID value in the settings.toml file, I get an error: "ConnectionError: No network with that ssid". It can find my home WiFi network without any problem when I switch back the WIFI_SSID name. Any ideas? Anyone able to replicate this as a problem or confirm that it should work properly? Thanks!
BTW: Using an iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16, and I have "Maximize Compatibility" selected in the Wi-Fi HotSpot settings on the iPhone.
iPhone as Pico W CircuitPython Hotspot?

Re: iPhone as Pico W CircuitPython Hotspot?
Are you sure the iPhone broadcasts on 2,4 GHz with WPA2 max (non Enterprise)?

Re: iPhone as Pico W CircuitPython Hotspot?
Try using .ScannedNetworks to learn what the Pico-W sees. That may give you some hints:
