Invalid Password
I was getting a invalid password when I tried connecting so I tried changing password
To change password
Connection Timeout
Now I was getting a new error "Connection timeout". Using the same "configure" option above I removed the password and specified "open" however was still getting the same error. I then went to "Allowed Devices" and specified my Macbook pro, Mac address and that solved the issue. Follow the below directions
- Go to Settings -> Connections
- Click on "Tethering and Mobile Hotspot"
- Toggle the "Mobile Hotspot" slider to "On"
