As stated above, I'm able to connect to Apple products with no problem. My work Windows-based laptop can take a half an hour to even display SSID. It will finally connect at that point. However, I can tether via USB & the SSID comes up right away and connects. Once connected I can remove the USB tether and the Hotspot continues to be connect via Wi-Fi. But once I disconnect Hotspot I will then have to repeat process: USB tether, connect SSID, disconnect tether & use the Wi-Fi.
Not great solution but it at least works for me. And not sure it is exactly the issue that others are having here - some of you can see the Hotspot SSID but it won't connect. But give this a shot and see how it goes for you.
I had simular problems and after reading all the posts I concluded that it might be outdated drivers sa I have an older Sony laptop that I up graded to Win 7 from XP. I looked for newer drivers for my Intel network adapter and found that Intel would not support my adapter for win 7. I dug out a Netgear wireless PCMCIA adapter that I bought 3 years ago and downloaded updated softwae from Netgear for win7 . I then installed as directed and opted for allowing the netgear software to handle the connection and I conneced on the first try and every try thereafter. I apparently had old hardware and old software. Hope this helps.
