I believe the RRC WiFi only responds to 2.4GHz signals. Many modern laptops are now 2.4GHz/5GHz capable. Can this be the case for you?

Your assumption is correct! I've had two WiFi interfaces operating, now I need just one.

Perhaps we didn't understand each other? I meant that perhaps the RRC could not see your phone wifi hotspots (basestation) because they are on 5GHz?
