Flex Maestro C not connecting to iPhone hotspot

Any reason my new Maestro C would not connect to my iPhone hotspot ? The C sees the hotspot but despite accurately entering in the password numerous times, the C waits a few seconds and nothing happens . The phone is right next to the C, not a signal issue. The iPhone is on a 5G network (Verizon) .

    Solved. Found old post on the topic.

    Cause is the iPhone's tendency to include an apostrophe in the name of an iPhone, e.g. Andy's iPhone.

    To change things, in the iPhone go to Settings/General /About/Name and change the name so their id no apostrophe.

    On iPhone hotspot screen select "maximize compatibility". Forces everything to use 2.4ghz mode.
