Windows 10: Can you set up two simultaneous mobile hotspots for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz using dualband...

My motherboard is dual-band wifi capable. Through Windows 10's mobile hotspot setting; I can create a network that can toggle between 2.4ghz and 5ghz. However, some of the equipment I have requires a 5ghz connection while others require a 2.4ghz connection. This has created a problem as I need to run all equipment at the same time.

Windows 10 5GHz Mobile Hotspot Option

Hi Richard,

What I am doing is trying to create a 5GHz hotspot on my desktop WiFi card, that does support 5GHz, to my smart tv that also supports 5GHz. The only connection I have going to my router is my desktop through a Ethernet cable. From this theoretical setup,
everything should work; but the windows mobile hotspot software is not letting me set up a 5GHz hotspot on my desktop.

Thanks.

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:

Laptop wont connect to Android hotspot 5ghz but does on 2.4ghz

good evening, I have a problem where i cant connect to 5Ghz hotspot from my samsung 21. It is set up as 5Ghz on my phone but says unable to connect to network. If i set my phone as 2.4Ghz it will connect fine. I have ruled out the phone as i can connect my works phone to the 5Ghz hotspot. When i try set up my works phone as the 5Ghz hot spot i get the same issue on the laptop. I have tried everything i can think of. My laptop does connect to 5Ghz wifi as this is what i use in my home to game. It just seems to be hotspot that it wont allow. Below is a list of what i have tried. Forgetting the hotspot Flight mode Manually adding the wireless connection Changing network adapters to show 5Ghz connections only Updating windows to latest update Network adapters are updated One thing i did do that worked the first time was open command prompt and do these commands below netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns Then i restarted laptop and it connected to 5Ghz hotspot. Then after 30 minutes it disconnected and i have not been able to connect again, even after repeating the above steps. Please help! Thank you
