i got to thank you fcor your patients and help. That hot spot will just not hook up with the iPhone. I bring it in the house and it hooks up to my house wifi. frustrating to say the least.

Not sure if this will help but a friend of mine had a problem with his iPhone not connecting.  We changed the order in the WiFi setting making his iPhone be the first device
and then his house WiF being the second and that solved this problem.  He can connect every time now with his iPhone.
