Hotspot on iPhone and iPad. Why does it only work half of the time?

You can use your ipad as a WIFI hotspot but your ipad must have internet via WIFI or mobile data. To turn on your WIFI hotspot got to Settings > Personal Hotspot and turn on Personal Hostspot. When searching your device will show as Ipad, Enter your WI-FI Password and any device will now use your Ipads Wifi.

I hope this helps :)
