QUICK TUTORIAL: VirtualBox Cannot Get IP Address from Router Using Wi-Fi (Laptop)

in #tutorial6 years ago (edited)

If you installed VirtualBox in a laptop and you cannot access the local network through Wi-Fi even if you've configured its network adapter to "Bridged adapter", chances are VirtualBox is using the wired network adapter of your laptop rather than the wireless network adapter.

Fix

Go ahead and change the adapter to your laptop's wireless network adapter instead of the wired network adapter.

Reason of the problem

I believe that by default VirtualBox uses the machine's wired network adapter if you change its network configuration from NAT to Bridged adapter.
