2 TopicsWiFi in Win11 issues in .3915
So i'm going crazy here and don't know where to go next, to Microsoft support or my internet provider... I've happily had Hyper-V on my Windows 11 Insider and some VMs i use for delivering trainings. Few days ago i noticed i no longer can connect to the internet on the VMs. Existing VMs, new VMs, VMs with past snapshots applied, etc.... no internet on the VMs, period. I tried creating new switches several times and nothing helps. However, although i don't need internet to deliver the trainings, when doing so at the university, i always use my host/laptop's internal card with a SIM in it and have no issues whatsoever with the internet in VMs. The SIM i have is from the same provider as my home cable is from. I just turned off my WiFi and connected the cellular network. Boom! VMs instantly have internet access. Turning on WiFi -> no internet again. So at this point i'm kind of stuck and not sure where to go for help. Obviously there is nothing wrong with my Windows OS in general, but there is an issue with the WiFi. On the host, i have no issues with the WiFi, internet is fine and working properly. I'm shutting down my laptop every night, so "restarting" did not fix it. Should i try resetting my router or go to Microsoft Windows support first? I think going to the internet provider has no benefit now, as they will blame the OS. Any thoughts?217Views0likes3CommentsWindows and its missing tagged VLAN Feature
Dear Microsoft, dear Community! I've been hoping and waiting for a tagged vlan feature built in to windows since... a decade? maybe two... I don't understand why, as of 2025, there still is a requirement for driver support or hyper-v vm nics in order to add multiple tagged vlan interfaces to a system? Its kind of my daily work to connect to several vlans via trunk ports. Linux, FreeBSD even MacOS: no problem at all. Why cant we get that functionality? I really wish that would make it to Windows: Is there any chance? I guess I am not the only one missing that feature. Kind regards P.s.: I don't mean to rant, I just don't have the necessary knowledge to understand why its so complicated or maybe even undesired to get that functionality built into the OS.107Views0likes1Comment
