Cant connect to bootmod3

Hi,

I have an n55 m2. Its been a while since I connected to bm3 since everything is working perfectly.

Today I wanted to change some settings but have had no luck connecting like I did before. The process was to connect to my iphone using the lighting to ethernet adapter and enable the hotspot with maximize comparability and it would connect immediately. Nothing happens now.

Did something change? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iOS 15 kills the mfi certification of some older adapters. I had to change to one of these, as suggested by BM3/PTF:

Ethernet Adapter, I-Phone Ethernet Adapter Compatible for Phone, Pad, Ethernet to Light-ning Adapter with USB Data Sync and Charge Port Provides high Speed 10/100 Mbps. Plug and Play for LAN Network https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087WHHDWR...ing=UTF8&psc=1

You see, that makes sense because I updated my iPhone since the last time I connected to ios 15. So this adapter is the one recommended by ptf now?

I was having the same sort of issue, ordered a different adapter, then 15.2 came out and it worked. 15.1 did not.

Had connectivity issues after having previously been fine. Moved to laptop and have been good since.

May try phone again if 15.2 is behaving.
