Will Genymotion connect to internet if networking drivers of Oracle Virtualbox are not installed?

Question

Is it possible for Genymotion to work properly for testing my apps which use internet , if I install the Oracle Virtual Box without its Networking drivers.

Is there a way to make Genymotion directly use Internet from my computer only?

Reason: Because Oracle Virtual Box always messes up my wifi drivers, and I lose my wifi internet connection completely. I had tried every fix on the internet and nothing had helped, then I had to reinstall windows.

What can I do about this?

Answer 1

Genymotion uses the Virtual Machine ( using the Oracle's Virtual Box). A virtual machine can get connected to the network only if you install the required drivers. So the simple answer is NO.

Try the Intel HAXM - link . Its an alternative to GenyMotion, but it provides less no. of features.
