Note 10+ 5g 5ghz Wifi adapter

[Hobnobs]

I’m looking to buy a wifi adapter so I can use my Note10+ 5g as a wifi hotspot. Can you suggest a compatible adapter as the TP-Link T3U I purchased isn’t compatible when trying to use the 5ghz band

@Hobnobs: I'm not familiar with compatible Wi-Fi adapters for the Note 10+ 5G, however please be aware that the option to assign the phone as a mobile hotspot is present in the phone's settings. To proceed, head to Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > Mobile Hotspot > On. There are also Bluetooth and USB tethering options available, should you wish to try them. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your response. I have enabled 5ghz on my phones hotspot and connected to my iPad  so no issues with tethering. This is with the exception of my TP-link T3U 2.4 and 5ghz adapter plugged in to my laptop. 2.4works fine but when switched to 5ghz it doesn’t even list it in my network options.

This is an issue with TP Link. There are many threads about this so didn't find a solution. Ensuring drivers sre up to date and trying different channels were mentioned.
