Personal Hotspot Problem

[Karen1]

I am having problems keeping my personal Hotspot on.  I have an IPHONE 6 and an IPad.  I have the Personal Hotspot turned on permanently on the phone.  In order to get it to show as a Wifi connection on the IPad I have to go into the iPhone Personal Hotspot, turn it off and then on again.  It then works for a few minutes and then kicks out again.  I have to repeat the process to get it tethered again.  This is workable, but an inconvenience to deal with

@Karen1 I don't have any iOS devices, but with Android, there is a setting to automatically turn off the hot spot if it's not in use for 5 mins:

I think it's there for two reasons:  (1) security, and (2) battery life.  Maybe iOS has similar?

Unfortunately I don’t have another phone

This could be an iOS issue. Try it with another phone if you have and see if it acts the same.
