Very long delay for Maestro to recognize my T-Mobile Hot-Spot

I am using a iPhone 7S serviced by T-Mobile for my Wifi Hot-Spot.  All of my Wifi enabled devices (iPad, laptop) work well and immediately recognizes the Hot-Spot.  When I power up the Maestro (1st generation), it can take from 5 to 7 minutes for it to recognize the Hot-Spot.  This is  with the iPhone sitting right next to the Maestro and strong cell signal. 
I would appreciate any comments/suggestions for this issue.

73, Bob, KN4HH

    What is the name of the actual hotspot?  Does it have any special characters in it?

    It is named iPhone with no additional characters. I had seen previous posts regarding an added character. Not the case here

    Even though my iPhone name did not appear to have any additional characters, I went ahead and changed the name.  Now I get instant recognition.  Thanks, Michael for pointing me in the right direction.
