Fix 1. Use Flight Mode in Windows 11
Flight mode acts as a mini power switch OFF. Turning Off and On Windows 11, Flight Mode will disable the network radio and then enable it giving the WiFi network a fresh instance to connect.

Fix 3. Change Hotspot Band on Mobile
Older devices generally use the 2.4 GHz band, while modern mobiles come with both 5 GHz and 2+ GHz. 5GHz might be a great idea to speed up the mobile hotspot, but it lacks the range, also the connected device(s) must have the supports for this frequency. White 2.4 GHz transfers data slightly slow, it has a good range and supports almost all devices.
