Roku won't see Hotspot on iPhone

I have a Roku premier and, while traveling with RV,  have always used our iPhone hotspots to connect.   Just recently 11/2023,   Roku will not SEE our iPhone hotspots (in the wifi search on connecting Roku).   We've tried everything in the support pages and no luck. 

Any ideas out there?

Thx

Re: Roku won't see Hotspot on iPhone

@markp1-

Premiere/Premiere+ (model numbers below 4620) are lower end units with single band Wi-Fi radios that only support the 2.4 GHz band.

Be sure your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot is set to use the 2.4 GHz band, and not the 5 GHz band.
