Greetings Normie4,
If you are having difficulty setting up Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, follow the guidance found here:
How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
"Set up Personal Hotspot
If you don't see the option for Personal Hotspot, contact your carrier to make sure that you can use Personal Hotspot with your plan."
Take care.
Normie4,
From that same resource, you can use the following guidance to connect to that established Hotspot connection:
"Wi-Fi
On the device that you want to connect to, go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal Hotspot and make sure that it's on. Then verify the Wi-Fi password and name of the phone. Stay on this screen until you’ve connected your other device to the Wi-Fi network.
On the device that you want to connect, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for your iPhone or iPad in the list. Then tap the Wi-Fi network to join. If asked, enter the password for your Personal Hotspot."
You can find further assistance here:

I do have buttons and I can see the phones access point. BUT when I try to connect with my devices the symbol changes from the Wi-Fi symbol to the Bluetooth symbol and there is no Internet connectivity.
