It's telling: we can't set up mobile hotspot

 

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.

@ammarjaved i do not get the edit function under the properties area.

 

After I enable mobile hotspot on my computer I can not browse the internet on my computer while hotspot is enable. only on my tablet I have to disable the hotspot in order to browse the internet on my PC
Me too,that's weird.

iam reciving the same error message 

how to make it work properly@techwalabhaiya 

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 

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

 

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