ATT iPhone X Personal Hotspot problem

Can’t get Maestro to login to above hotspot I find the iPhone personal hotspot wifi on the network screen. I select it, and I get the password prompt. After entering the password screen, the display reverts to the password entry prompt. Even after multiple (correct) password attempts, the Maestro never successfully logs on. Any suggestions? I’m at a motel where the bw fluctuates wildly, and even the low bw connection is unreliable. Thanks John

    I would try rebooting your phone!! I have found this to fix many issues I occasionally have.. Also be sure to swipe your screen to see all the apps that are open, and close them all out! Good Luck..

    Are you trying to use 4G on the iphone or WIFi to connect to the internet? If ur trying to use the iPhone X as a hotspot via Hotel Wi-Fi it can’t share internet connection on Wi-Fi.

    Does your iPhone have an apostrophe in its name? That is the apple default and it’s also used for the SS ID on the personal hotspot. The maestro does not like apostrophes in the SS ID name and will behave the way you described. If there’s an apostrophe, take it out and you should be able to login just fine.

    I should have responded earlier.  Chuck's response is exactly correct.  After removing the apostrophe, I was able to log in normally.  I was surprised that the iPhone hotspot's bandwidth is sufficient for an excellent, reliable connection.  I have been using 4G--not using WiFi.

    I have had to use iPhone personal hotspot because of captive portal issues in Reno

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph.
