hi

 

I got two networks:

• one for lan 192.168.1.0/24
• one for wireless 192.168.5.0/24 (that can reach the first but not viceversa)

 

my Unraid is connected to the first network with an ethernet cable.

 

can I use a usb wifi adapter for connect also to the second network without issues?

(just to reach all devices)

 

someone have try something similar?

 

I need to do this with unraid terminal?

 

thanks

Unraid does not include drivers for Wi-Fi adapters.

 

why do you need the Unraid server to connect directly to the WiFi network? From what you say the WiFi devices can already reach Unraid.

yes, WiFi devices can reach Unraid

 

but WiFi is a separate mesh hardware that have a dhcp server on a different subnet

 

so WiFI devices reach Unraid but not viceversa

 

I need this for many reason, first two example:

1) ipam container that scan for new WiFi device

2) guacamole container for ssh to WiFi device

 

thanks

You will have to find a solution that does not require WiFi support within Unraid since Unraid lacks WiFi drivers and thus cannot drive WiFi directly.  A WiFi extender that has a ethernet port for plugging into the Unraid server is a possibility.

ok, is another solution…

 

the only think for now I think about was a VM with passthrough a wifi adapter, but I’m not so happy 😅
