Android Question

Guest
Had Samsung Galaxy S3 phone for 6 months and have had no trouble connecting devices to the portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Three days ago it stopped working. My phone can still connect to the internet off the singular device, but when I try and connect other devices to the hotspot, my Samsung doesn't even show up in the list of WiFi to connect to. I have tried allowing all devices, even tried connecting via Bluetooth and USB. Hot spot is ticked as ACTIVE, but that's as far as it goes. I've tried turning it off and on again, but no success there...

Have other people had this problem? How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Kirsten
