[Solved]Help host windows 10 with WiFi - VirtualBox bridge

Post by AndersonSoprana »

Hello, I installed VirtualBox on Windows host machine with the network card wifi (notebook).

But when I set the BRIDGE mode network option in the settings of VirtualBox he does not connect to my internal network using DHCP.

more if the host using a local ethernet network instead of the wifi and make BRIDGE, dhcp functions normally.

can you help me make VirtualBox use WIFI card host and runs the BRIDGE mode ?? I do not want to stay connecting the network cable all the time that you use my virtual machines.

I thank the attention.

Bridged and wireless don't always play nice. Bridged networking is outside the WLAN specification. It may or may not work. Some combinations of Routers/Access Points, WLAN cards and drivers work, some don't. See: Bridging & Wifi - Supported hardware.
