Set allowed device but it is not saved

Tried using the Mobile Hotspot on my Samsumg GS5.  Connected successfully, but when I tried to save the device (a PC) as an allowed device it said OK. Turned off hotspot and turned it on again allowing allowed devices only and the device was not listed.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

I apologize for the confusion, let's look into this. Did you disable the allow all devices option? Did you enter the correct MAC ID associated your PC?

evidently you have to add the allowed device BEFORE you turn on the hotspot in either mode.

Seems to be working now
