Vehicle hotspot/Wi-Fi issue

[Mcobra331]

Have a 2023 F 150 XLT with 302a package. I have an issue with my vehicle hotspot where my iPhone will not connect to the network because the network name changes everyday. I have an ATT unlimited plan but it did it with the free trial as well. Every day I get in the truck I have to look for the new network name and then enter the password in and then it connects. Usually once I do that if I stop and shut the truck off and come back it will reconnect. It seems once it sits over night the name changes. I did have a 2021 XLT before this one and it did not have this issue, it always had the same network name, plus my wife has an 2022 explorer ST and it doesn’t change network name either. Every time I would get in either of those trucks it connected automatically. I’ve searched on here as well as google search and there doesn’t seem to be anyone else with this complaint. Anyone with a 2023 experience this?!?

I have the same issue. Please let me know if you find a fix. I have an appointment to take it to the dealership to get checked out

There is an option to rename the network. I changed the name and now it will connect normally

You just saved that fella from a wasted trip to a dealership.
