Unraid doesn’t fully support running the server over Wi-Fi alone. The reason your GUI and VMs stop working when you unplug the LAN is that Wi-Fi on Unraid is treated as a secondary interface, and most network services rely on the primary (LAN) connection. Solution: Keep the LAN connected for stable access and VM networking. If you must use Wi-Fi only, you’ll need to: Set the Wi-Fi interface as the default gateway in Unraid. Ensure all VM network bridges are assigned to the Wi-Fi interface. Note: Performance and stability over Wi-Fi only may be unreliable, especially for VMs. in simple words Unraid works best with a wired connection; Wi-Fi is mostly for convenience access, not primary networking.
