VPN Client Not Detecting Phone Personal Hotspot?Updated 9 days ago

On some newer phones, the default hotspot configuration is set to 5GHz only. Change the hotspot configuration to 2.4GHz to resolve the issue. 
If you are using an iPhone, make sure that the 'Allow others to join' and 'Maximize compatibility' options are enabled. Furthermore, stay on the personal hotspot settings page on your phone while you are scanning for available Wi-Fi networks on your VPN travel router.
