Guest Network Slow or Poor Downloads

Post by NateMan »

Newbie here and after installing my first Ubuntu guest OS I found that the network stream was way too slow. I could not find this anywhere in any forum. I probably missed this in some instructions but in case others have the same issue I wanted to share.

I have Windows 10 as a host and found that it is imperative to configure the wireless adapter to share its connection. In the adapter properties go to the "shared" tab and then check the box "Allow other network users to connect ***" then under the "Home network connection:" choose VirtualBox Host only network" ... Once I did that then my guest network speed matched my host speed.

Hope that helps other newbies the heartache!
