On my plan I have 2 gb of mobile hotspot data available. I am able to tether my data to my iPad via the "bluetooth tethering" option but not "mobile hotspot". When I go to connect my laptop or tablet when the mobile hotspot is active the devices just simply won't connect. Any advice as to why this is happening?

Turn off bluetooth on your iPad then try the regular wifi connection. Other than that, there's no reason it won't work. You will have to enter a password to connect, as well.

If you have a "limit" of 2gb and you have reached your limit, it wont allow you to connect the device to the hotspot.

UNLESS

You get the plan that I have which is a limit of "2gb" but once you reach that limit, you are slowed/throttled.

There is a limited plan and a unlimited plan.

I currently have a 8.5gb of data and hotspot, once I reach that limit im slowed/throttled.

I use it for online gaming.

I had that same problem, I called T mobile spoke with Tech support and Advanced Tech support, no one was able to help me. I decided to take matters in my own hands.. Go to setting > More > Mobile network sharing > Mobile hotspot settings > tap the 3 dots on the top right > Advance > Lan settings > Reset to default settings. You will be able to use hotspot again.
