Windows 10: The Wifi stops working once I'm trying to create a network bridge.

So I'm trying to create a network bride between my WiFi and and Ethernet port on my laptop.

I'm doing this so i can have an internet connection on my pc by hooking up the utp cable from my pc directly into my laptop. (which picks up the wifi signal)


It worked before. no problems at all. My pc had internet and everything. But suddenly the WiFi on my laptop stops working all together.


Once i remove the network bridge, my laptop has internet again but can't connect with my pc.

I've tried to rebuild the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) repository. And it seemed to have worked once.


But now it has the same problem. Once I add the WiFi to the bride everything stopped working. And another rebuild of the WMI doesn't do the trick.


Have i overlooked something?

Network bridge suddenly stopped working in windows 10

Hi Shantanu,

To isolate your concern, we would like to know how your network bridge is connected? Is it a wireless connection or a wired connection?

In the meantime, we suggest that you set up your network bridge to refresh the adapter and reconnect the other devices. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Add Incoming Connections from the Internet.
• Bridge the two network connections that you want to use.
• Forget the internal network connection (under
  Manage Known Networks).
• Reconnect to your bridge network.
• Restart your computer and check if your concern persists.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Network Bridge Stops Working after Creator's Update

I have also found that the Network Bridge has issues in the 1709 Windows Creators Update. Prior to update this setup worked flawlessly. It may have been the Creators Update, or an additional update from Windows Update that caused the issue.

Setup: Intel NIC and Wifi card in Host 1, both with new drivers. Wifi to domain network, 1Gb Ethernet to Host 2, bridged. Host 2 in DHCP.

Symptoms include:

• Mis- or very slow detection of network (stays at "unidentified") when both nics are in the plugged/connected state and bridged. Seems to be random whether the WiFi stays connected when DHCP is used on Host 1. Using static IP keeps the Wifi connected on
  Host 1.
• Pings to local (DNS) and remote servers intermittent on Host 1 after positive detection of domain network. Network task tray icon shows No Internet alert intermittently in conjunction with ping loss. Maybe 10-20 sec of ping replies, then none for a period.
  This suggests maybe a spanning tree detection algorithm is blocking at layer 2.
• IPV4 Route Table doesn't seem to change between working and non-working state, suggesting the problem is not in the IP stack.
• Removing bridge removes all symptoms on Host 1, and all connectivity on Host 2.
• Disabling/re-enabling both bridged NICs on Host 1, enough times and in the correct order, seems to fool the system, or get it a state machine in the proper state, and will finally get the detection algorithm to 'hook-up', but ONLY until the next reboot.

 

Network Bridge Stops Working after Creator's Update

I solved my problem by re-installing VirtualBox so that it can re-add its Network Adapter. Then I re-created the bridge and configured the Adapter within VirtualBox.
