NETGEAR WAX610 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Access Point
Hi. I want to create a local network that allows my devices to communicate directly with each other without having an internet connection. This way, I can use a master/slave app during band rehearsa...
These simple (wireless) routers, and even less a mobile phone acting as a hotspot (yet another WAN-LAN router) don't do -any- routing withing the LAN side of things.
I think you might be over-thinking this.
TheGuru47 said that when he connects using the hotspot on his phone, everything works just as he wants. But he wants to replace the hotspot something else. Assuming that information is correct, then a router (instead of a WAP) should also work.
The test I suggested is easy to do, so it would let him know up front if a router will do the job (or not). If it does, then there is no reason to go crazy trying to get a WAP to work.
FWIW, I don't think the "master/slave" aspect is about the network connectivity or discovery - it is just describing a hierachical control setup used to synchronize multiple mixers. Not the best term, lots of groups (including Linux) have switched to different terminology. I've seen "Main/Secondary" proposed for music.
