You need to tell us your host, your guest, your VirtualBox version. With full details.

With the USB device plugged in and the VM not running, post the output of the following commands:
  • 
    cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"      <-- change it if not the default installation
    VBoxManage -version
    VBoxManage list usbhost
    VBoxManage list usbfilters
    VBoxManage list extpacks
    VBoxManage showvminfo "Your_Virtual_Machine_Name"
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Results investigation in other forums.

I will need to install the linux driver in order to recognize the wifi adapter in bridged mode.
This is being a difficult subject because the driver for the dispositive is not easy to install.
All the investigation leads to :

https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au

With this driver seems you can obtain the internet signal, injection and "modo espera" for wifi audit security.

I merged your last post with the exact same topic that you opened two weeks ago. According to the forum rules, duplicates are not allowed. If you have an open topic, please post on that.

The answer was already given, but you didn't provide any information.
