Your adapter can not transmit to channel 36, frequency band 5GHz. #36
Description
Hi! I found this tool while looking for a solution to create an access point with my AX200 PCIe card.
I'm looking to connect my Quest 2 VR headset (which supports WiFi 6) directly to my computer with as little latency as possible, and no access to the external internet. My understanding is that a 5GHz hotspot should provide this, so I ran the following command:
$ sudo lnxrouter -n --ap wlan0 MyAccessPoint -p passphrase --freq-band 5

Cleaning up doneI had the same issue trying to use linux-wifi-hotspot, so I think it's an issue with create_ap, but it seems it is now unmaintained.
Is there anything I can try? The 2.4GHz hotspot gives me 58Mbps, which is not what the AX200 card I bought advertises.
I've attached the output of a few other commands:
