VirtualBox 7.0.8 does not support USB WiFi adapter

Post by AndreXZ »

Hi all!
I've been struggling with this problem for several days now.

I have a new laptop. Huawei MateBook - D16. Licensed version of Windows 11. Installed VirtualBox 7.0.8. The Wifi USB adapter TP-Link TL-WN722N is successfully working on the notebook. But Virtualbox does not see it when creating a virtual machine. I've tried everything. I rolled up the latest virtualbox extension, manually installed the latest wifi adapter driver. Nothing helps. Please advise me how to be.

Does this mean that:

A. Virtualbox does not see the Wi-Fi adapter in its Bridged Network settings for the VM?

B. Virtualbox does not let you make a USB Filter for the adapter?

C. The VM does not see Wi-Fi networking as a network choice inside the OS?

Hi! Virtualbox won't let me make a USB filter for the adapter.
Accordingly, the virtual machine also does not see the Wi-Fi network

Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Attachments tab.
