Cannot connect with FoxFi after 4.4 update

After spending the day getting Foxfi to finally load after 4.4 update, Foxfi says "wifi Hotspot Ready" the computers see Foxfi, but no internet connection. I have renamed the Network Name, new password, rebooted and rebooted and still cannot connect. I have gone through FoxFi FAQ step by step and still nothing.

I have had Foxfi work flawlessly through 3 phones and updates, but this one has me stumped. Galaxy S4, Verizon Kit Kat. Anything I have missed I would be grateful.

    Find how to do it first then turn on FoxFi so you don't get nervous about the 30 seconds.

    I have done that and the Foxfi screen says "wifi Hotspot Ready". The computers see Foxfi as a wifi connection but they will not connect. Foxfi use to flash an IP address and it no longer does that, so I am missing something, but I don't know what.
    I just uninstalled Foxfi and re-installed it with the same results, wifi is on, but the computers cannot connect to the internet. Outside of a factory reset, I don't know what else is left?


    FINALLY got it! A hidden box finally popped up that said allow all devices and that did it.
