Sharing ethernet only on Wi-Fi 6E

tn flag

I have an Intel AX210 card Wi-Fi 6E card to share Ethernet over Wi-Fi 6E connection only, using the hotspot function.

I typed nm-connection-editor, clicked Wi-Fi -> Hotspot and there is no choice for 6E band.

I am only allowed to choose between A (5GHz) or B/G (2.4 GHz).

I really need to force it to 6E because the hotspot connection is supposed to be the backbone with another 6E computer. Thanks.

This is a print out from sudo lshw -class network

In short, if your location does not allow 6E, the AX210 won't operate in that frequency.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
