Problem with launching the 5GHz wireless adapter on Windows 10
Problem with launching the 5GHz wireless adapter on Windows 10
I can't launch a 5GHz hotspot on Windows 10. My Ethernet link is working fine. Intel supports wireless repeating at 5GHz. Because of country rules, hosting 5GHz isn't permitted with LAN. I don’t see any restrictions here. I’m not sure if there’s a solution to share Wi-Fi on 5GHz. I really need help.
India. I investigated and discovered that Intel restricts sharing wired connections above 5GHz in certain nations due to regulatory limitations.
I’ve opened up screenshots of the settings menu. I don’t use Windows 10 because it’s not reliable. From what I see, 5GHz is possible for a hotspot, which could mean there’s a regional restriction. Remember that other devices often use 5GHz too. In the US, Radar uses 5GHz, which explains why DFS exists—allowing more spectrum use without interfering with radar. But if it’s an Intel-based limitation, I’m not sure how to bypass it. I’d suggest checking your local and national regulations before attempting anything that might trigger authorities. You don’t want the police showing up uninvited.
Review the adatper settings in Device Manager. I recall a card from before that had a country selector feature in the settings. It might be misconfigured for the incorrect region. The truth is Intel is clearly trying to address this issue. ASUS made some mistakes a few years ago with routers emitting more power than permitted by U.S. law, resulting in a significant fine. Generally, airwave regulations differ widely across countries.
