That's strange. I need to investigate more about this issue. There might be an issue with DHCP. Can you try to put a static IP in the client? |

I could create a hotspot on 2.4 frequency brand and the application said the hotspot was running. However, I couldn't find my hotspot at all on the network setting.

pkexec --user root create_ap wlp0s20f3 wlp0s20f3 'whatisahotspot' '' --mkconfig /etc/wh.config --freq-band 2.4
Config options written to '/etc/wh.config
