Not being able to connect to your iPhone's hotspot has nothing to do with the security level.


If your Android is really old, it may not be able to see the newer 5gig signal. When you setup your iPhone's hotspot, if you have an iPhone 12 or higher, make sure you set it to Max compatability. That will set it to broadcast on the older 2.4gig frequency.
