Samsung S9 Hotspot Authentication Error

[Android Central Question]

I am having an issue with my mobile hotspot with Verizon. Getting an authentication error when trying to connect. It has worked before on my S8. Now not working on my new S9. I contacted Verizon they put me through some test and also replaced my phone with a new one and I am having the same issue. A support ticket has been issued and they say this is an ongoing issue with Samsung devices within the past 2 weeks. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Yes mine has been doing the same thing for weeks. 2 replacement devices. 2 sim cards later and still not fixed. Verizon cannot help me either

Same issue with the Note 10+. I just remembered seeing "tethering hardware acceleration" in the developer options, turn it off. Everything seems to be working fine again.
The developer options can be accessed by repeatedly tapping "Build number", within "Software information", within "About phone" in the settings menu.
