How to enable the Genymotion emulator to use the WIFI Internet that the host uses

Question

The application that I run on the Genymotion emulator needs the Internet. The internet doesn't seem to be working on a Genymotion emulator. I tried to confirm this by opening a browser, and here is what I got:

I run Windows 7 on my laptop and use Wi-Fi Internet. I opened the virtual box of the VM, went to Settings> Network, and the following two images show what I see there:

So, how do I let the emulator use the Internet from my computer?

Note: Please tell me in the conditions of a layman. I saw articles and questions talking on IP addresses and other things that are strange to me.

EDIT 1:

Answer 1

go to device settings and enable Wi-Fi devices in Android OS. You did not mention this in your post. I just cover the main solutions here.

Answer 2

Just select the host-only adapter for adapter 1 and NAT for adapter 2. Make sure the cable is selected (checked). Only a host can be used to create a network containing a host and a set of virtual machines, without the need for a physical host network interface. Instead, a virtual network interface (similar to the loopback interface) is created on the host, providing connectivity between the virtual machines and the host.

This works for me. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

None of the above solutions worked for me, I fixed the problem by changing the IP address settings on the adapter, choosing File → Preferences → Network in VirtualBox:

IP adapter: 192.168.217.2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP server Server address: 192.168.217.100 Server mask: 255.255.255.0 Lower address limit: 192.168.217.101 Upper address: 192.168.217.254

Answer 4

Try turning on Wi-Fi in GenyMotion and choosing WiredSSID.

I know that this question was answered, but I thought that the picture would be easy to understand. Hope it helps.

Answer 5

In Genymotion, go to your device’s settings and make sure that the adapter you have selected, NAT (by default) is not bridged or anything .. Now make sure your computer is connected to the Internet ... It will most likely work
