Hot Spot

In the past, I have used my cell phone as a hot spot while we traveled. The last couple of times I could not make the computer see the iPhone. I could get the computer to 'show available networks' but could not get a connection. On the other side, the iPhone did not seem to be connecting telling me did not have wifi. We were in a Ga state park with no wifi.
Obviously I am lacking something here. Perhaps it is enough savvy to do something I am not seeing. help?

    Like going into settings and turning wifi off then back on. Rebooting the laptop, etc.

    Esp. after it’s been sitting idle.


    Ditto! Ditto! I also called my service carrier and up graded my data plan. Part of issue can be related to with your location from the nearest signal tower.
