Hello everyone, My Dell laptop works with a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection but fails to send data through a portable hotspot. It displays a warning that the 5GHz band isn't available. I've tested several situations: 1. Connected to LAN and attempted transmission. 2. Connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and tried sending data. 3. Connected to a 5GHz Wi-Fi and attempted transmission. 4. Changed the driver properties in Device Manager from 802... to 802......a. Also tried selecting a different band there. Is there a fix? Thanks.

It seems to be an older Intel WiFi chip, and they don't support 5GHz for hotspot mode.
