The Macbook created a 2.4GHz hotspot to which you could connect
successfully.

Can you confirm you claim earlier you could NOT connect to an iPhone
hotspot? If so, I suspect the iPhone and ISP router are creating
5 GHz access points and therein lies the problem.

You can test this easily on the iPhone by toggling between 2.4 and
5 GHz mode... the knob is intended for idiots and thus labeled poorly
like "ensure compatibility" or something but that's what it does...
