Need Help ASAP - Dell wont connect to Verizon Iphone Hotspot
I cannot get my Dell Laptop Inspirion N7110 to connect to Iphone Hotspot. Is there s setting I need to change? My spouse's Dell laptop connects to Iphone hotspot without any trouble. I've restarted several time, it shows that it's connected, google will come up for a minute and then nothing. Please help asap, we are traveling and I have an important business deliverable, that's got to be done. Thank You!

Hi AngiMc,
Welcome to the Community.
Please check with your carrier if you have opted for the Personal Hotspot ugrade plan because the regular Hotspot feature is available for sharing data connection with a single computer only (i.e., in a one-to-one connection) using a USB cable or Bluetooth.
Personal Hotspot still includes the USB and Bluetooth options but adds the Wi-Fi with multi-device sharing too.
Turn on the Personal Hotspot Option in the iPhone
Find and Connect to the New Wi-Fi Hotspot Created
I hope this resolves the issue for you.
Please feel free to revert in case of any further queries.
Thanks and regards,
Prateek K

I should have written "...work with my hotspot." Clearly, it is recognized.

I have the same problem with a Dell Venue 7. It recognizes my hotspot, saves the password, has excellent signal strength; pressing "connect" has no effect. This personal hotspot works well with my Dell Inspiron laptop, I have the exact same issue with my iPad's personal hotspot. I am running the latest version of iOS 7 on each Apple device.
Please advise how to get the Venue 7 to recognize the hotspot.

Just went through this with a customer today. His problem...may be related to yours...is that he was using an apostrophe in his SSID. It came back on his Dell laptop as several odd characters when viewing the SSID broadcast. apostrophes are not aloud, per the wi-fi spec. Sure enough, after removing it...everything worked. It was odd, though, that other devices worked fine before. I guess it just shows you that some devices are more strict to the spec than others!

I thought to share what fixed my issue . I eventually got rid of the issue by forgetting the Wi-Fi network and join it again.
