    Mobile Hotspot works with 2.5Ghz but not on 5Ghz


    Hey folks,I have an very unsual problem: I want to connect my PC via Network Adapter TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300, which is capable of 5Ghz, to my 5Ghz Hotspot from my Samsung S23, which is able to output 5Ghz, but it won't work. Interestlingly tho, everything works great with 2.4Ghz.To minimize the possible solutions I gathered the following info:- the Adapter is not broken, nor does it need a newer driver since it sees other 5Ghz networks and even sees my 2.4Ghz hotspot, just not the 5Ghz one- it isnt directly the fault of my hotspot either, since my two laptops can see the 5Ghz and even 6Ghz

    :)

    Windows 10 5GHz Mobile Hotspot Option

    Hi Richard,

    What I am doing is trying to create a 5GHz hotspot on my desktop WiFi card, that does support 5GHz, to my smart tv that also supports 5GHz. The only connection I have going to my router is my desktop through a Ethernet cable. From this theoretical setup,
    everything should work; but the windows mobile hotspot software is not letting me set up a 5GHz hotspot on my desktop.

    Thanks.
