Hotspot icon blinking

Hotspot icon blinking

I’ve tried all solutions posted for this problem, but I continue to have the same issue. I can connect my PS4 to my mobile hotspot, sometimes it works fine. Then there is the occasion that it disconnects and reconnects rapidly. My hotspot icon/time stamp flash as I connect/disconnect rapidly. Very frustrating while gaming. Now I can move 100 yards from my current location, no problem. Other times, I have to move much further. Cellular signal is at max. Could occur at peak or off peak, have had both. Verizon support takes me down a meaningless road of resets, none work. Anyone else having this problem, iPhone 11? Can this be fixed?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Hello Kentuckystyle,

It sounds like your PS4 will sometimes connects to your hotspot fine other times is connects and disconnects repeatedly. Check out this link for support when Hotspot isn't working.

If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular)

Otherwise check out this link for Playstation Support to troubleshoot when the PS4 is having connection issues.

Wrong, I have found the answer, but not a solution. Any 2.4 ghz wi fi signal can affect a hotspot. At the locations I have issues, there is a powerful signal and about 9 other available networks. This interference overwhelms my hotspot.
