iPhone's Personal hotspot only works with ipad

This is the third time i am writing this message again on my iphone. Apple forum deleted my message twice now after adding product and once after clicking post the topic. I expected better quality from a website of apple....-____-

Anyway here i go again typing on iphone:


I have a iphone 5s, and want to use the personal hotspot function for sharing its 3g/4g connection.

However, it only seems to be working with my ipad. I connect the ipad to my iphone's hotspot wifi network and boom i can browse the web on my ipad.

On other devices i try to connect they all show they are connected to my iphone, but cant see a active internet connection. Ive tried numerous windows and android devices they all report desame. My iphone reports successful connections as well- it just doesnt want to share internet to them it seems...


How do i fix this? I want to use the hotspot on my windows pc as well! (Through wifi not usb)

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.1
