I have enabled Personal Hotspot on my iphone 6 plus running ios 8.1.3, but I don't see the iphone in the WiFi list on my Windows PC. How can I fix this? Thx.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.3
Did you already check the general troubleshooting article?
Yes, I did.
And what were the results? Did you try to connect via USB or Bluetooth as well?
Any error messages?
I tried via USB, result is still the same - it doesn't get listed/recognised. My PC doesn't support Bluetooth.
Also, 802.11a/b/g is the wireless mode of my adapter and I am assuming that this is sufficient.
Can other computer or iDevices see your Wi-Fi Hotspot?
To connect to a Personal Hotspot, your device requires:
- Wi-Fi: Support for 802.11g/n using WPA2 encryption.
- USB: Mac or PC with iTunes 9.2 or later installed.
- Bluetooth: Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Windows.
I will try again. Thanks for all your support.
Is your Wi-Fi adapter set to 2.4 or 5 GHz?

I apologise for replying late. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work with other iPhones also. Other iPhones also are not recognizing hotspot of my iPhone.
I am not sure if this is related to Bluetooth, But Bluetooth is also not working on my. It hangs on discovery. It neither lists other iPhones nor is it recognised on other iPhones.
I think I will try going back to 8.1.2 and try.
Downgrading the software is not supported by Apple. You should get your device checked by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider.
