Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has ever had a problem connecting to wifi direct networks. Such as the private network that is created when first setting up an Apple TV or the private network that is created when setting up an Amazon echo or creating a wifi hotspot in windows 10 and trying to connect.

For some reason my phone just won't connect to those kinds of networks and I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and how they solved it. This specifically affects my phone from connecting to wireless CarPlay as it uses Wifi Direct to do the communication.

I took it to the Apple Store and they couldn't replace it because after they did their diagnostic scan, it reported no problems. I've restored it via iTunes and via the phone both times erasing everything and choosing to setup as new but same problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
