Wifi problems after install virtualbox in Windows 8.1

Post by Danixu86 »

Hi, first of all i'm sorry for my english.

My problem is with Wifi connection and Windows 8.1. When i boot Windows wifi is enabled and detect all networks but i can't connect to my router, then i reboot the PC and works fine (i've to reboot every time i power on the PC).

I think is VirtualBox, because all worked fine before install it.

Someone knows how to fix that problem?
Thanks!!.

I would Google for MAX_NUM_FILTERS - investigate that issue first.

Thanks for reply, but all i've seen about "MAX_NUM_FILTERS" are problems about bridged connection, and my problem is with real Wifi conection. Don't care if i start Virtualbox or not, always fail in power on and i've to restart. All connection in VirtualBox works fine (of course when wifi works).

Greetings!!

Yes, I understood that your problem was with the host WiFi, otherwise my answer would have been different. Are you saying that you investigated the problem and increased the limit?

No, i've investigated but i've not changed anything for now (i'm in work). Later i'll try to increase the limit.
