Help Hotspot Limited Connectivity Verizon

So I activated my newly received MXPE on Saturday on VZW and it was much less painful than anticipated. I began a business trip on Monday and now I am in a bind because I didn't think to actually verify that the Hotspot feature was good to go because I could turn it on just fine. Well the only way that I can get it to work is if I USB tether. At least that is something right? I have done some research and can't seem to get a solid answer. I actually as well just got off of the phone with L3 support with VZW and the manager of the agent I was working with actually owns a MXPE themselves and their hotspot works flawlessly apparently. Whenever I turn on the hotspot and then connect I get limited connectivity. If I go into the IP settings I can see that I have a valid looking address, mask, and default gateway yet my Windows 8.1 machine shows no internet. VZW sent a reset signal to my phone which didn't help. I have the network set to LTE/CMDA and have enhanced calling enabled so I am totally at a loss. Does anyone have any input or ideas?
 
Wow....no input?

Anyway, I have verified that I can hotspot perfectly fine with several machines however not the one that I currently travel with which is really stumping me. Kind of crazy really. I may have to uninstall my wireless adapter drivers and install fresh again to see if that corrects the issue.

I have tested on 4 Windows 7 machines (HP, Lenovo, and Asus) both 32 and 64 bit, a Samsung S4, an Asus TF700 tablet, and and an iPad and they all connect successfully. My Dell with Windows 8.1 is the one being stubborn. Just really odd.

I would upgrade the Dell to Windows 10. It's a much improved OS and the upgrade might solve the problem.
