virtualbox.org

My iMac is connecting to Internet by both an Ethernet cable and a Wi-Fi. Windows 10 VM has been working fine on Virtualbox 5.2.12 with either or both Ethernet and / or Wi-Fi is available on the iMac. I upgraded macOS to Mojave and thus Virtualbox to 5.2.20. After the upgrades, Windows 10 VM can only find the Internet connection when the Ethernet cable is attached.

I checked that the Windows 10 VM has the following Network settings on the Virtualbox Settings:
- Adapter 1 enabled
Attached to Bridged Adapter;
Name: en0: Ethernet;
Advanced
Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Allow All
Cable Connected - checked

- Adapter 2, 3 and 4 are not enabled.

What are the settings that I need in order to use the iMac's Wi-Fi on Windows 10 VM?

For some reason, Virtualbox crashed and after it was reopened, everything looks fine. The Adapter 2 has the following settings:

- Adapter 2 enabled
Attached to Bridged Adapter;
Name: en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort);
Advanced
Promiscuous Mode: Allow VMs
Cable Connected is checked.

And Adapter 1, the Promiscuous Mode has changed from Allow All to Allow VMs.

It's fine now.

Well, that was... quick and pleasantly unexpected.

It happens very often that a problem can't be resolved for days or weeks, but once asking for help, the way to solve it or the problem resolved by itself happens just within a day before external help responds.
