Personal Hotspot WiFi - Not Working

Hi,

I am using a Factory Unlocked iPhone 4S on 5.1.1. I have been facing issues with Personal Hotspot connectivity through WiFi. The hotspot WiFi availability is unpredictable. It is not detectable in the list in the list of available networks. Have been able to connect it only twice or thrice but by switching on & off the personal hotspot several times.

Whereas, I get connectivity through Bluetooth & USB with no issues. My device came with 5.0.1 and had the issue with that too.

Pls assist.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

Thanks razmee209 for your reply, have gone through those articles before posting my concern but still no help.

My Hotspot WiFi does not appears in the list of available networks & on the device adjacent to WiFi under Settings it keeps showing 'Not Connected'.

Same issue here. According to what I am reading on other support discussions this requires more attenion Apple. It is a real issue, and it is not delivering on a feature as advertised.

Thanks!
