Hi all,
My Nighthawk R6700AX router refuses to grant access to my virtual machine. It is a Linux guest machine running on a Windows 11 host machine. I have configured the the guest machine with a bridged network adapter so the router should treat it the same as any other PC trying to connect the network. First of all the router IP is 192.168.1.1, I want a static IP on the VM so I set the IPv4 to 192.168.1.115, Netmask to 255.255.255.0, Gateway to 192.168.1.1, and DNS to 1.1.1.1. My host machine has internet but is not able to ping the guest VM which tells me the VM is not connected to the router.
Any thoughts on how to get the VM connected to the router so the host and guest machines can talk an the guest machine can access the internet?

The Virtual Box VM is a well documented non-commercial Open Source Project. It does come with it's own community to help inexperienced users.
Something must be wrong wit the Virtual Vox VM config and it's bridging config to the host adapter. However, this isn't a Netgear thing.
