Hi all,
I'm struggling with getting a hotspot set up using Network Manager in Bookworm. I want to use a USB-connected WiFi dongle to get better range.
I've tried several different dongles with different chipsets. In all cases, I am allowed to set up the hotspot on the USB device, but if I choose any security at all, the setup is accepted but the SSID isn't broadcast. If I take security off (no password), the hotspot SSID is broadcast and I can connect to it.
Has anyone been able to set up a hotspot using a USB Wifi adapter that works with security? If so, which dongle did you use?
TIA
Andy
