Hi Zadee, thank you for your quick response; I have already found both those threads on Microsoft's and Intel's websites, and have tried the solution, with no success, still getting the same error message.

I have also tried reinstalling the drivers for the AX210 fresh from Microsoft through the Device Driver, and by manually downloading them from Intel, or from Asus. None of the three fixed my 5GHz hotspot issue.

Regarding the country-specific regulatory limitations, I live in the UK, and as far as I could understand 5GHz hotspots are allowed here with no issues, and I double checked with a couple of friends with Windows 11. I asked them to turn on their mobile hotspot on the 5GHz band to double check, and it worked fine for them.

Thanks for your response! Let's allow other experts to join in and see if they have other ideas to solve this issue. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Călin . I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

If none of those help I'd change the wifi adapter to one you find that works specifically for 5ghz hotspot from Windows 11. You can even get a USB nano wifi adapter similar to this:

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the detailed results you post back, I will have other suggestions if necessary.
