Ps4 can't detect Wi-FI hotspot

[Dcmans21]

Hi I'm very new to Linux and I just dual booted my windows 10 with Linux mint 20.1 cinnamon on my Dell laptop and I'm trying to connect my PS4 to the wifi hotspot that I made in Linux mint. but after when I created a wifi hotspot in Linux mint the hotspot that I made is not showing up on my PS4 in the internet connection list and it's not showing on my Dell laptop either after I followed all the steps to create the W-Fi hotspot. Would greatly appreciate any help.

See if secure boot in enabled. Check:

Code: Select all

 mokutil --sb-state 

If so, disable it in Bios. You may also need to disable fast boot in Bios & fast startup in Windows.

I disabled both secure boot and fast boot in BIOS, and fast startup in windows and the PS4 still won't detect the hotspot. In the hotspot settings in Linux mint 20 under the wifi tab, I set the mode to "Hotspot" and I set the method in the ipv4 and iPv6 settings to "Shared to other computers"

Let's see the results of:

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxxxrz && rfkill list && iwconfig && mokutil --sb-state

Maybe if you shutdown & restart your router/modem & machine?
