Teathering to my iPhone 16 pro is not working. I believe I found a good USB data cable. When plugged in the phone charges and the router INTERNET page indicates that it recognized the phone. However, when I try to connect the process never completes. On my phone I see the icon indicating a teathered client. The router, however, does not complete the process. I've copied the system log below.
I have turned off the phone's WIFI. I have turned off the phone's hotspot. When I turn the hotspot back on I select USB only.
I can connect to the phone hot-spot via WIFI tethering.
