Hot Spot drops out all the time

Iphone AND Ipad - why does my hot spot drop out continuiously, when im on my Ipad I have to go back to my iphone and 1 of 2 things happens 1) i have to swith off Wifi and hot spot then turn hotspot on and wifi at this time or 2) Sometimes my hot spot reconnexts when i go back to my phone and just key in my phones access code and pronto it re-engages connection to my Ipad. But i have problems with my iphone dropping out ot hot spot mode as well.

Q. Why cant i keep a long-term continuous connection?

Q. Is there a time out setting on one or both of my devices?

Q. Is there something over the internet iI need to keep connected in the background to my iphone whilst im using my secondary device in order to make my hot work properly?

All these issues sound as if they are connected to your wireless carrier. I recommend you call them and tell them the issue to see if they can troubleshoot it. If they conclude it is not your carrier, I recommend you make certain your devices are updated to the latest IOS version.

If the problem persist, backup your devices, and factory reset them. If the issue still continues, contact Apple Customer Support.
