I just setup esxi 8 , I installed a new windows guest host and found that only wired network (vm network ) in the network adapter list .
I want my guest host can be connect internet via wifi , I need to add wifi adapter in it ? if yes , how to to it ?
Thanks
Hi,
I don’t know if WiFi is even supported but I would check that the hardware is compatible: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php and if the manufacturer provides a driver.
Thanks,
Chris

What I want is the ESXi use the static IP addr , the guest OS use the dynamic IP addr so that the same network segment user can access it

Then you're back to the very first reply, we don't know if your adapter is supported, ie. if ESXi has a driver for it.
Search here: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=io
You did say that it was on the list, but now you're saying it's not showing as an available adapter.
thanks reply ,
the adapter is on the compatiablity list but not shown on the esxi .
Hi,
Then you need to install the drivers. The VMware compatibility site should provide the link to the drivers based on you ESXi version. If not, download it from the manufacturer.
thanks reply ,
would advise how to install the wifi adapter driver ?
