The Short Story:
I have an ethernet connection to my PC and would like to turn my PC into a hotspot with Windows 10. Will that be possible with this PCIE adapter?



The Long Story

Reason I want it:
Got an Oculus Quest 2 which I'd like to use with Virtual Desktop for wireless casting. Wifi6 with a 5Ghz connnection is a requirement.
Why I can't upgrade my router: The router lives with my landlord and the Wifi connection is shared among my neighbours.

The average speed of my Ethernet connection is 100mbs while the Wifi is 10mbs on a good day or 0.3mbs on a bad day. This is so pants for the Oculus (which can only connect to Wifi) to the degree that it makes it practically worthless.
Even if I was kind enough to give my landlord an upgrade I would need the router to be in direct line of sight with my Oculus, plus a Wifi 6 router will cost me close to 3k.

The thing that confuses me is that this cheaper model lists "Ad-Hoc" as a possible network mode... I'm kind of leaning to the idea that the more expensive model has that ability even though it's not specified (possibly because it's not a priority for it's target market)?

 
Did you have success doing this?
I'm looking at the same use case
What I see online is that Win 10 does not support setting bandwith wider than 20Hz for hotspot networks

- which theoretically means that a router will perform better as it can utilize the full 80Hz bandwidth.
