Asus 2S - Hotspot behavior

Recommended Posts

Hi all - here is something really hard to understand. An Asus 2S, standard Linux image, no modifications. Configured as a Hotspot. Here is the configuration file

Screen Shot 2022-09-21 at 12.15.50 PM.png

Device shows up - Select but can't connect. This "can't connect" is weird. Fails connecting from MacOS, fails connecting from iPadOS but connects from an Android tablet.

Here is the output while Apple Mac is trying connecting

Similar output when trying from an iPad

When trying from an Android Tablet - it connects!!!!!

Can somebody provide any help? I am beyond frustration. This is standard "stuff"

Thanks in advanced.
