Has anyone been successful with connecting their iPod Touch/iPad to their mobile hotspot on 7.1?

I don't know why, but my iPod Touch will not work with my mobile hotspot.

It will connect to my mobile hotspot but it will not send/receive data.

My Playbook can connect to my mobile hotspot with no problems (not bridged, bluetooth is off). I'm not sure what it could be.

My son connects his iPod Touch via my mobile hotspot on BB 9900. OS 7.1 (746). Gets good data speed up and down. In settings you have allowed connected devices to exchange data? and set the band?

settings on phone - start mobile hotspot, go to networks and connections - mobile hotspot connections - options. Apologies if you already know this

I had the problem too and I tried many combinations. Eventually for the settings in the mobile hotspot, I set security type to WPA/WPA2 and chose a numerical password. It is doesn't connect, keep taking the hotspot SSID on the iPod Touch. Also note that my iPod is the 5th gen model and iOS 6 does have wifi issues.
