Windows 10: Hotspot 2.0

I ran into an issue with not being able to see my MiFi SSID being broadcast on my Surface Pro. The SSID was visible on all other devices such as phone and laptop.


Going into wifi setting I noticed the toggle for hotspot 2.0 and turned it off and after my MiFi SSID was able to be seen and connected to.


Any reasons this setting being toggled on would cause the MiFi SSID to not be displayed?



-Thanks
