Q: ipad 3not connecting to iphone5 hotspot

my son did troubleshooting today from his iphone to my ipad and my iphone to his ipad; and it appears that something is wrong with ipad, not phone hotspot connection.

 

ipad Used to connect and have not changed anything.  It just spins forever and never finds iphone 5.  Earlier today I called ATT and he had me reset network settings on ipad.  That seemed to work (it found phone) then disconnectecd itself and never found iphone again. 

 

I pay for this hotspot every month so I can surf while riding in car.  This is in preparation for when we vacation this summer and will be gone in motorhome.  Want everything to be working so I am connected while away.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1.1
