HI,

I'm running 7.2.4 and I'm having some trouble that I can't figure out. For reasons I won't go into, I need to move my tower and that means I won't be able to connect it via ethernet: only wifi. I bought a usb WiFi dongle and have set it up in Network setting and it has connected to my wifi so I essentially have both ethernet (eth0) and wifi (wlan0) running. I would have thought that if I unplug my ethernet cable then Unraid would switch to wifi but it doesn't seem to. My web giu just goes blank and won't come back unless I plug the ethernet cable back in.

My question is how can I get my tower to run on wifi and not ethernet?

Thanks in advance

Do you have an attached monitor and keyboard?

No. It’s headless. I can only access through the web gui

You may need to attach a keyboard and monitor to troubleshoot networking.

Ok thanks

You should be able to connect to both at the same time using the respective IP address, if you unplug the cable you may need to wait a minute or so to be able to access it using the name.

brilliant. thanks so much. I was being an idiot and using the IP for the eth0 connection.

All good. thanks

You can edit your sig by clicking on your avatar/username in the upper right corner and selecting Account Settings. You can also enable viewing of sigs there. I can see yours and it says you are on Unraid 5.05
