Unable to start 5GHZ hotspot on windows 10

[satannnitr]

I am unable to start a 5GHz hotspot on windows 10.
I want to share my ethernet connection.
Intel allows wireless repeating at 5GHz.

Due to country restrictions 5GHz is not allowed to be hosted with LAN. I don't have such restrictions.

I'm not sure if there is a work around to share wlan on 5GHz.
In dire need of a fix.
Help.

What restrictions? What country are you in?

India.
I researched and found out that intel doesn't allow to share wired connections over 5Ghz because some countries don't allow it.

Ive pulled up screen shots of the settings menu. I dont use Windows 10 because its crap. But from the screen shots I see, 5Ghz is possible for a hotspot. So it might be a restriction in your region. Keep in mind that other things use 5ghz. Here in the US Radar uses 5Ghz, thats why DFS exists, so 5Ghz devices can use more of the spectrum with out interfering with the Radar and such. 

 

But if its a Intel based restriction I dont perosnally know how to overcome that. I would just advise you check out your local and national laws before trying to circumvent any blocks. You dont want the police kicking in your door.

I don't understand how wireless repeating at 5ghz is allowed but not hosting.

Check the adatper properties in Device manager. I do remember that a card I had in the past had a country selector type thing in the settings. It could be that its set for the wrong country. The fact is Intel is just trying to cover their ass. ASUS fucked up a few years back and had some of their routers transmitting higher power levels than allowed by US Federal Law. They got a pretty big fine from what I remember. The fact is the airwaves are heavily regulated in most countries and the rules can vary.

Intel have a very bizarre policy:

This is expected behavior due to country-specific regulatory limitations.

However, you may use hotspot on 5GHz by connecting to an AP on the approved 5GHz (passive) channels for the country before initializing the hotspot.
