    Is there a way to disable WiFi automatically when wired connection is active? I tried to do it via Network and Sharing Centre, but the option to disable it doesn't come up. I looked at WiFiAutoSwitch and Bridge Checket but they are not free. Help!

    IP configuration not valid - interference from ethernet adapter?


    Solution 1: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1or Windows 10

    Step 1:

    Go to Device Manager → Network adapters.
    Step 2:

    Expand it (Network adapters).


    Step 3:

    Select your network adapter


    Step 4:

    Right click on your wireless network adapter or Ethernet adapter and then tap “Update Driver Software”.
    (in this case your network adopter is Ethernet adopter so tap your Ethernet adapter)
    Step 5:

    Now on a new window you will need to click on “Browse my computer for driver software”.

    Step 7:

    Now choose the “Manufacturer’s drivers” from the list of two and then click next.

    Step 8:

    After the completion of the process just restart your PC and check if the problem is solved or not. If not, goto solution 2.

    Solution 2: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1,windows10

    Step 1:

    Open command prompt.
    Step 2:

    Just go on hitting the enter after typing the each command.
    netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
    netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable
    netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
    Step 3:

    Now to check if the settings are disabled type:
    netsh int tcp show global
    then hit enter.
    Step 4:

    Now the thing left is just rebooting your system and just check if the problem is solved or not and just give feedback.*chuckle*Thumbs

    Ethernet and WiFi Adapter Disabling on Connection

    Hello everyone. I'm having a problem sometimes using Ethernet or WiFi with this laptop. It's a relatively new laptop running Windows 10. I live in China, if that's any help.

    At the school where I work, using Ethernet works fine everywhere that I can remember trying it on campus, except for in my office. I spent some time with the computer people at the school, and they were unable to figure out what the issue is. They can use the
    Ethernet in my office just fine, but I can't. When I plug in the Ethernet cable, my Ethernet adapter gets disabled and shows as being grayed out for a few moments, then comes back as enabled but doesn't recognize that the cable is plugged in. If I unplug the
    cable and plug it back in, the same thing happens again. I tried plugging directly into the school's router, and if I remember correctly, the same thing happens there, so it appears to not be an issue with the cabling that goes to my office.

    Strangely enough, I'm having the same issue with WiFi, but only with one WiFi network that I know of, and at a coffee shop, not at my school. When I try to connect to this WiFi network, it prompts me for the password, then tries to connect and exhibits the
    same behaviour as when I have the problem using Ethernet: the WiFi adapter gets disabled for a few moments and then comes back enabled, not connected to any WiFi network. I can connect to other WiFi networks just fine.

    Any ideas on what might be causing this?

  4. Disable WiFi when Ethernet is Used

    WiFi disconnects when ethernet is plugged in

    Hi Stanislav,

    I know this is an older thread, however, someone might find it useful.

    This is a simple adjustment to Ethernet LAN priority settings in Windows 10.

    Follow these simple steps below and both devices will be functioning concurrently.

    1. Go to network and sharing center in control panel.

    2. Select change adapter settings

    3. Right click on your Ethernet device and select properties on popup menu.

    4. In properties menu, click configure button.

    5. When configure menu, select advanced tab.

    6. In advanced menu, under property list, look for "Priority & Vlan" and select it.

    7. Look in value list to the right and select disable toggle.

    8. Click Ok, on your way back out of menus and wait 15 seconds until system updates new value.

    You have just disabled your Ethernet LAN priority so it will function together with your WIFI.

    Good luck!
