Has anyone figured out reverse tethering (AP mode) Internet on macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 M1 Arm when macOS is Internet sharing over ethernet (via usb 10/100/1000) to broadcast a new WiFi AP?
- I confirmed I have Internet with the ethernet in the USB hub in macOS.
- I verified that this is en8 interface with the USB 10/100/1000 name
- I enabled Internet sharing over the same interface over WiFi to turn macOS into an AP
- I configured the WiFi SSID to broadcast under a custom name with a custom WPA2/3 password
- My WiFi Internet icon on the top right says I'm sharing over channel 11
The issue is:
- My phone can see a new broadcasted SSID but its the hostname of my laptop instead of my custom SSID name
- When I connect my phone to macOS AP WiFi, there is no Internet
- Network settings in macOS show that the WiFi is 'Not Connected'
- No error messages are shown
- I checked logs in /var/logs and no luck
This seems like a configuration issue. How can I debug this?
I looked at related questions and couldn't find a way forward.
