Wifi Hotspot Ap Band

[Nikia Longino]

Iwant to use my PC running under windows 7 as a hotspot. A server developped in C++ is running on the PC and i want to connect an Android device on it. To create the hotspot, I'm using 'Connectify' and a "Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265" card. I can connect the Android device on the PC without any problem. The PC emitts on channel 11 (by default I guess) and i want to change the channel (2 for example). I've already looked in the settings of the card, in the datasheet, and on internet, but i didn't find out how doing it.

2 - Select Network Adapters >> right click on it >> select Properties >>> click on the tab that says Advanced >> and from the dialog box, select Ad Hoc Channel 802.11 b/g... then go to Value and change the channel there. See the picture below.

I've developped a server in C++. The server captures an image through a camera and send it by Wifi to an Android device (An Asus Transformer Pad TF300TG). The server runs on a "Intel NUC 5i3RYH" (Windows 7 64 bits) and the Wifi Hotspot is created on it. The Hotspot emitts at 2,4GHz and the default channel is 11. I want to change this last one, to emitts on channel 2 for example. The wireless card is an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265.

We have reviewed your issue with our engineers and would like to inform that our adapter was not developed to work as an access point so it may not work with Conectify* Please contact Connectify* support to see if they have a workaround that might help you accomplish your goal.

"Thanks for contacting Connectify Support. Unfortunately, Connectify does not have the ability to control the hotspot channel. The channel of the Hotspot is determined by the channel of the network that the adapter is currently connected to as well as your network adapter (if it supports 5GHz). If you are connected to a 5GHz network, then you will get a 5GHz hotspot. The same would also be true for a 2.4GHz hotspot.

Now, some cards might have an option that allows you to change between 2.4Ghz and 5GHz band or choose a specific channel. You should try checking in the Device Manager under the Advanced Properties of your adapter for these options."

I don't understand your answer, you say that your "adaptater was not developed to work as an access point", but I already use it as an access point. I can send data to my Android device from this computer. The only difficulty I have is to change the emitting channel.

My laptop with Windows 10 can connect to 2.4G WiFi as well as 5G WiFi, but when I turn on the hotspot in Windows 10 settings, it says that only the devices supporting 5G WiFi can find the hotspot. I am wondering whether it is my wireless adapter or Windows 10 that limits 5G WiFi broadcasting.

I change another 2.4G WiFi connection and then turn on the hotspot in settings and then I can find my AP now. But it make me more confusing...Why the adapter works in this way? Moreover, the built-in hotspot settings on Ubuntu can only share internet connection from Ethernet...

Your adapter is dual-band which means you have to configure Windows so it knows which band you want to use (2.4GHz or 5.0GHz) for the virtual router. This configuration might be at the device level, which means you want to look at the configuration of the device in Device Manager. If you still can't figure it out there are multiple third-party programs that will provide you that granularity configuration of your network.

However if you are connected to your network using the 2.4GHz band, and you're using the adapter to create a virtual hotspot, that would explain the reason you can only create an 802.11n 5.0 GHz hotspot. You can't create a virtual network on the same band you are connected, to an existing network on given your current hardware.

The reason you were able to do it with the other adapter is likely because the configuration of that adapter allows you to configure both bands to the same frequency. I can only use my two decades worth of engineering experience to make an educated guess, considering, I know nothing about the other adapter. Given how this feature works in the first place I am confident that I am right, connected to your network using the 5.0GHz instead, and you will be able to create a virtual network on the 2.4GHz band.

The updates in the question and this comment to the other answer clarifies an important point: it's not that a 2.4GHz hotspot cannot be created, but rather that the hotspot is always created on the same band as the main WiFi network: If the wireless card is connected to a 2.4GHz network, then the hotspot is on the 2.4GHz band. If the wireless card is connected to a 5GHz network, then the hotspot is on the 5GHz band.

This is because the wireless adapter in question (and pretty much all dual-band consumer wireless adapters in general) only has one radio. The radio can work either on 2.4GHz or on 5GHz, but not both at the same time. In fact, it can only work on one specific channel (or one specific combination of channels, in case of "wide channels") in one of the frequency bands at the same time. This is a hardware limitation, and it means that when you use the same adapter for both your upstream Internet connection and your hotspot, then both must be on the same channel, in the same frequency band.

Consumer WiFi adapters can often have several virtual connections active at the same time: for example, your adapter has both an client mode connection that connects to your upstream wireless network, and a master mode connection that serves as the hotspot AP. However, both these virtual connections are running on the single radio, and they must share the same channel.

1. Although your computer is connected trough LAN connection, in Settings Network & internet, switch Wifi to ON and connect your computer to 5GHz WiFi band (so now, your computer is connected to Internet trough Ethernet and Wifi 5Ghz).

Sorry, but I don't have other ideas. Could be that there is some specific problem with AX200 on Windows 11. For me Mobile Hotspot 5GHZ and 2.4 GHZ working on Windows 11. I've checked on three NUC computers running on Windows 11. Two computers with AC 8265 adapter and the third with AX 201. See the attached image.

Please download and run the Intel System Support Utility for Windows. Select all data categories and then have it generate a report. Next, have the tool Save the report to a text file (don't try to use the Submit capability; it doesn't work). Finally, using the Drag and drop here or browse files to attach dialog below the edit box for the body of your response post, upload and attach this file to the response post.

Based on the SSU report, we can confirm that the wireless driver currently installed on your computer is version 22.80.1.1, which is a driver provided by Intel. "Actually I don't know my issue is directly connected to intel driver or windows 11", yes, it could be very well related to Windows* 11 itself, especially based on the fact that you are currently using the latest Intel wireless driver version for Windows* 11.

Just to let you know, the Intel wireless drivers are generic, meaning they might or might not work with your system. For that reason, we always recommend to install the wireless driver provided by the manufacturer of the computer, since that driver was customized by them to work with your specific platform.

I looked on MSI's website, and even though they have some drivers available for Windows* 11, there is no wireless driver available for that operating system, which indicates it might not be validated yet as fully compatible with the board, at least in reference to Wireless drivers.

Even though you mention "Unfortunately I cannot test case with mobile hotspot on windows 10." Still, they do have a wireless driver available for Windows* 10, version 22.70.1.1, for testing purposes you can always try a clean installation of that driver following the instructions in the links below, even if you are using Windows* 11:

and about the driver V. . 22.80.1.1 its new driver that came yesterday And according to what is written in the changes, this should not affect my card at all because my card is an ax210 and not an ax211

"I decided to change one by one properties in advance tab and after changes some of properites hotspot 5GHz started working. After restart PC driver properties was the same but hotspot 5GHz doesn't work. If I continued to change random driver properties after some time I could run hotspot 5GHz."

If you do not remember the random driver properties that you changed, that is no problem, please let us know so we can do further research on this matter, keeping in mind that the root of the issue could be related to incompatibility between the Operating System and the platform being used.

Just in case, you can also use the option to submit your inquiry on a new thread, the reason for this is that every scenario is different even if the same product is being used, so for us to better assist you and in order to try to fix the problem, you can submit a new thread:

Just in case, you can always get in contact directly with the manufacturer of your Router in order to be able to configure it manually and set the 149, 153, 157, 161, 165 channels with a frequency of 5 GHz, or at least one of them and then try to use the 5GHz mobile hotspot.

"So I'm wondering why russian restrictions are applied in Ukraine?", In most cases, that is something you will need to check directly with the manufacturer of the laptop. Still, we will do further research on this question and the other ones you just posted. As soon as I get any updates I will provide all the details on this thread.
