    Under these settings, you can select 2.4GHz or 5GHz. How about 6GHz for those of us that have WiFi 6E enabled cards? Is there an advanced configuration tab that can use those channels to maximize the link? 1500mbps for my Killer AX1675x. Use case - Airlink over Quest 2 via mobile hotspot. Thanks.

      SL0MARThe WiFi in your PC must have 6G capability otherwise it can't connect at that protocol.

    Can you set the DHCP settings in mobile hotspot?  I Want to be able to reserve some IP so they stay the same IP when I connect on the hotspot.  ammarjaved

    I cannot see where you can configure the DNS or for that matter the IP of connected devices.
    Not exposed?
