The answer to this is quite simple.

You can use your WiFi adapter as a hotspot, or you can use it as a client to connect to another network.

You can't do both at the same time.

  • It can't be done from Network Manager but this should work https://askubuntu.com/questions/970445/how-to-create-hotspot-without-internet-connection – Jeremy31 Oct 13 '20 at 20:51
  • I have used create_ap to use one wifi device to connect to a AP and use it as a hotspot at the same time – Jeremy31 Oct 13 '20 at 21:06

    That's a good find and could be marked as a duplicate of this question. It does seem that in order to pull this off, that you either need two network interfaces or one of a handful of network adapters that have the capability. – Nmath Oct 13 '20 at 21:29
