Accessing Wifi Direct Features on ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ

To set up a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot on your ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ without an internet connection, you'll want to create an ad-hoc wireless network that other devices can connect to directly. Windows 10/11 supports creating a mobile hotspot, but for Wi-Fi Direct (peer-to-peer), you might need to use specific commands or third-party tools.
