Almost everything is in the title ... I want to set up a Wi-Fi hotspot using only nmcli (no hostapd etc...) I'm doing this to create the hotspot (a small bash script):

#!/bin/sh
VAR_HOTSPOT="TEST"
nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name $VAR_HOTSPOT autoconnect yes ssid Hotspot-$VAR_HOTSPOT
nmcli con modify $VAR_HOTSPOT 802-11-wireless.mode ap 802-11-wireless.band bg ipv4.method shared
nmcli con modify $VAR_HOTSPOT 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt wpa-psk
nmcli con modify $VAR_HOTSPOT 802-11-wireless-security.proto rsn
nmcli con modify $VAR_HOTSPOT 802-11-wireless-security.pairwise ccmp
nmcli con modify $VAR_HOTSPOT 802-11-wireless-security.group ccmp
nmcli con modify $VAR_HOTSPOT 802-11-wireless-security.psk "password"
nmcli con up $VAR_HOTSPOT

Every thing works fine except my connection is stuck at 65Mb/s. My two PCs are 300Mb/s capable (2 USB WIFI HT20/HT40). How do I set warp speed ? :)

Use iw tools for this:

 iw wlp3s0 |grep -i mcast_rate

Example:

 iw dev wlan0 set mcast_rate 300000

Confirm changes with:

 iw wlan0 info

or 

 nmcli connection show "Hotspot-$VAR_HOTSPOT"
