I have never had any issues with using my hotspot and probably about 6 months (ish) ago I started having issues with it working consistently. The only consistent connection are my kids two phones (they are part of family sharing). they connect no problem. When i try to connect my computer or any other computer is where I have the issue.
First, it will not even show up as an option to connect to unless i turn on and off computer wifi and turn on and off my phone hotspot. Once I do this my hotspot will then become visible on my computer. When I click on connect, it tries to connect and then after about 10 seconds it says "can't connect to this network". over the past few months if i hit connect enough times it would eventually connect. Now the last three days I haven't had any luck at all.
I know it's my phone because my computer can connect to other people's hotspots without issue. (it connects to my kids $15 t-mobile plan hotspot very easily). What can I do to fix this? I am not having any luck from Verizon since they are not open locally and can't get through when I call.
Here are things i've tried: resetting network settings, changing hotspot name and password, restarting phone.
Thanks!
