intel won’t allow its linux drivers to work above wifi 4 speeds in ap mode, so i created a kvm virtual windows machine with pci pass through on the wifi nic plus ip masquerade and now i’m getting wifi 6 speeds in ap mode.

Lots of laptops just use a removable m.2 wifi card. Have you considered replacing it with something thats properly supported? I know hardware costs money but not that much probably.

It’s not a laptop; it’s a mini desktop that I obtained to serve as a wifi router; storage server; firewall; VPN; media server; remote file storage; and my cat’s favorite warm napping surface.
the wifi nic is embedded on the motherboard and it was chosen since it included a high gain antenna; among other qualities.
Wifi works fine if you use it in ordinary client mode w full Linux support and the hardware is capable of fully supporting ap mode in older Linux kernels; it’s just that Intel decided remove higher speed ap mode support in the latest versions of the driver to force people to buy thier more expensive wifi nics.

it’s an ordinary desktop; the screwiness is introduced by intel’s decision to remove ap capability from its recent drivers.
