I cannot get my TGIF Junior to "Consistantly" connect
to a brand new iPhone 11 (AT&T)

It may or may not connect. Here are my steps:
I read that you should enable the HotSpot function on the iPhone
first, which I do.
Then I power on the Junior hot spot and wait. Once I see the
MMCVM starting to scroll, I wait for some activity on the TG.
Yesterday, I finally saw the IP Address on the screen, which was
192.168.50.1 (still hearing no traffic). I could not get to it
on the browser on my phone. Nothing, long delay (Google Chrome)
before telling that the network could be accessed.
I just don't know what I am doing wrong? I have full signal on
the AT&T network, so that should not remotely be an issue. So
without access to the Pi-Star dashboard, I had no choice on
powering it down, other than removing the power USB cable from
the Junior.

Does anyone know how to set my iPhones hotspot to the 2.4 ghz
band so my TGIF spot will connect to it. The SSID is simply my
last name with no special characters or spaces. It will not
connect...... I just want to ensure the phone's hotspot (wifi)
is not broadcasting on the 5 ghz band.....
If this doesn't work, I have brand new Junior I can part with.
Thanks,

I finally figured this out and thought I would share. Taken me
months, to resolve this connection issue.
Ironically, the help I found came from the Open Spot 3 forum
over at Shark RF, but it worked and never was mentioned as I
searched for this answer elsewhere.
I read over there that you should stay on the screen where I
turn the Wifi hotspot to the "ON" position on my iPhone 11. It
connects every time, if that is the case. After connection, one
can then move from that screen to something else.
The TGIF Junior working consistently now in mobile
operations.....
