Kindle trouble connecting to hotspot

[jkingrph]

I have a iphone 15promax and occasionally when away from home try to connect to my kindle paperwhite se via the iphone hotspot. My iphone will often see a lot of other wifi locations around which are inaccessible but not my kindle. I can turn both on and off and finally, sometimes after 45 minutes to an hour it will show and I can connect. Any idea what the problem might be.

We basically had the exact same problems with our iPhone. Sixteens. Multiple ones. After playing with it long enough, we found out that when you initially connect, you cannot have the lock screen on or it won't find it. Sometimes we actually had to go into the hot spot screen on phone before it would show up on other devices. Very strange. I am really surprised no one has reported this problem before.
