Wifi 6E hotspot

HeartTavern

Hi,

I own a ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 10. I have verified that both allow me to scan the 6ghz Band and connect to networks. But I cannot use this band to make a hotspot, why not?

The specs of the ZenFone 10 say it supports Triband, so what I want is to do is connect to hotel wifis using the 2.4Ghz band and 5Ghz band (connect twice to the same network on 2 bands) and then share the internet using the 6E 6Ghz band.

The NetGear M6 Pro can hotspot a 6E network and does this with an SDX65 modem on 5G (thus has Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip = ZenFone 9 Asus phone) so that chipset can do this, but the Asus phone software doesn’t support, any reason why? Thanks!

The question specifically mentions the use of 6 GHz wifi. Only wifi 6E and wifi 7 allow that band so wifi 6 is pretty much outside the scope. Wifi 7 obviously isn't supported so that leaves us with wifi 6E. Within that standard there is no bandwidth difference between the 5 and 6 GHz bands. Max data throughput is identical for both.
