Q: Personal Hotspot Unreliable

I have had very random luck getting onto the personal hotspot from my iPhone 6, using a 2013 MBP. Is this just me? I frequently have to turn personal hotspot off and then on on my phone, or reset network settings. I can never just pull down my wireless menu and select the phone and have it work. I am 8.1.2 on my phone, and have the latest Yosemite version on my laptop. I really would like this to work consistently, as promised. I can get it to work, but only after repeated tries and lots of resetting. I have also signed out of iCloud on both my computer and phone, several different times. It works, but only once. The next time I go to connect, it's back to square 1. Any ideas? Anyone else having the same challenge? Oh, and I am in the US on AT&T. And when I can connect to the personal hotspot, it's great and fast.

 

Thanks for any input.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
