WiFi configuration in Proxmox VE 8.1

[wojti]

Hello,
I want to configure WiFi in Proxmox VE 8.1.
I already tried to solve the problem using this forum post: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/help-needed-pve-with-wifi-stick-installation.128609/. Unfortunately, the solutions found did not solve my problem. I have WiFi via USB. I don't know how to configure WiFi. Please help
Regards

Hi,

have you already checked out our wiki page for WiFi?

Please read the whole page carefully. WiFi has a lot of drawbacks in server settings, and you most likely need to configure NAT for your guests as well.

Step 1 would be to not use Wifi in the first place and use a ethernet NIC cabled to your router. If that is not an option get a powerline adapter and connect your ethernet NIC and router to it so you can send ethernet packets over your existing powerline. If that is not an option you can think about using wifi as the last resort.

In addition to what Dunuin said, aka. only use WiFi if you really must, as it will cause you headaches sooner or later:

Have you followed the link I posted and read the page?
There are then also further links to step-by-step instructions how to actually set it up, e.g. by Debian.
