how to connect my iphone hotspot to my hp laptop

I became confused, thinking it meant 'allow my phone to be a connection', not realizing it meant, 'devices that will connect through the phone'. Even after reading it, I still didn't get-it, b/c on my phone, it doesn't look like something you'd 'touch-to-change', it it looks like a fixed section that is indicated 'allowed devices only' and that didn't mean much to me, since I'm not that well versed in this protocol and have never dealt with hot-spot issues before, other than, the first time I purchased a better plan that was inclusive of using my phone's hot-spot as a connection point, it worked find and like-a-charm, only to NOT WORK some weeks later, and then this huge frustration and head-ache. Then I have spent countless (hours now) and tried so many 'other fixes', internet searches, scratching-my-head, feeling so frustrated that I'm about to 'pop', and then I see this most basic of instruction and advice. I must have inadvertently hit it, and switched it to 'allowed devices only', and therein was/is my problem.Įven after talking with my phone service's Customer Support Team and having them try and walk-me-through-it, this most basic of problem was never discovered. On my Samsung J7, I never realized there was a change possible to 'allow all devices to connect'.

Just wanted to heartily thank everyone for this thread, as 'the most simple, staring-you-in-the-face', can sometimes be the most sublime and hard-to-see.
