DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: Add WiFi "n" and "ac" selectors
Hello i installed Hotspot on my Raspberry pi 4 using the latest dietpi but the wifi works in 2,4Ghz and i wanted 5Ghz, as i can see that is working in 2,4ghz when i connect from my laptop,i change it from my laptop to work only in 5Ghz,and the hotspot is not visible, i dont see any options from dietpi in the network adapters to change it to 5Ghz,how to i change it?
thanks
Hi,
many thanks for your message. I found a similar topic on the RPi Github. https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2619#issuecomment-410703338
Solutions seems to be setting a different country code like US
I changed the country to us but did not do anything it still works in 2,4Ghz Can you in a future release to add a setting to select 2,4ghz or 5ghz ??
Thanks
Jep, for devices with onboard WiFi where we know that they support 5 GHz WiFi, or if there is a different way to check it, we can add ieee80211ac=1 to wpa_supplicant.conf. Or we simply add a switch to enable/disable with the hint that it may or may not work depending on the WiFi adapter, so admins need to verify themselves?
@MichaIng is this still in progress? I search everywhere and couldn't find additional info. I did change CC to US but still no luck.
Should i manually add ieee80211ac=1 to wpa_supplicant.conf ?
EDIT: did manual change , still not seeing 5g option.
If ieee80211ac=1 and using correct WiFi country code (reboot afterwards) does not work, then I'm currently not sure either how to enable it.
still not seeing 5g option
You mean using WiFi clients you see that there is no 5G SSID provided by the hotspot?

Correct no 5G WiFi Hotspot also no options within Diepti Config.
I understand if this is still not fixed. Here are logs if you need them anyway. And as soon as i type this command WiFi 2.4g disables

also no options within Diepti Config.
Of course, otherwise the issue would have a solution available tag and be closed.
I understand if this is still not fixed.
This is not a fix but an additional feature, and as of your results we still don't know how to implement it and whether it is supported by current hostapd at all.
Here are logs if you need them anyway. And as soon as i type this command WiFi 2.4g disables
There is a service running already, so this is supposed to fail. After ieee80211ac=1, to apply the change and see the logs:
systemctl restart hostapd
sleep 3
journalctl -u hostapd
Hi same problem here raspberry pi 4 has 5ghz wifi but uses the 2.4ghz only in hotspot mode and there is no option to change it from the network adapters
This has been added for next DietPi release: #6558 Beta starts within the next hours.
