Reach setup failed to find my iPad hotspot on setup

1. I turned on the Personal Hotspot on my iPad Air.
2. Powered up the Reach.
3. After a minute or so the Reach appeared in the available Wifi networks
4. In Browser typed http://192.168.42.1.5000 and hit enter
5. The Edison Setup appeared in the window.
6. The device was named using 8 letters
7. The Personal Hotspot name was added as Network Name
8. WAN network was selected
9. The password of the Personal Hotspot was added
10. Submit button was pressed
11. The progress bar came with notification that password need to be 5-13 characters. Mine is 10 numbers. It was yellow.
12. When that notice went away the Network box showed "Scanning"
    One possible issue is that my IPhone does not see the personal hotspot on the iPad. My thinking is that it is not working on the iPad. Therefore the Reach cannot find the Personal Hotspot. I turned on the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone just to see it created a hotspot and it did.
    Does anyone know the exact steps needed to start the setup over and stop the Reach from looking for a network that does not exist?
    If I powered off the Reach, took my iPad outside where there is better cellular coverage then powered the Reach back up should the Reach then find the Personal Hotspot network on my IPad?
    I also have a Windows 7 laptop that can be used if necessary and an iPhone 6 Plus.
