  1. When I Connect the Ethernet Cable it automatically disable the WIFI


    i have a problem to connect my Hotspot and this is happening only when the Ethernet cable is connected which means that the main problem here is that when the Ethernet cable is connected it automatically disable the WIFI


    and i have tried some solutions that I found on this link

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/wifi-disconnects-when-ethernet-is-plugged-in/00329022-6cad-4ea4-8a0a-ab1e38812e32


    but it didn't work when i edited the registry it doesn't change anything. and when i tried another solution for Priority&VLAN on the right list there is no disable toggle.


    Can you please help me to change this as I want my WIFI to keep on when i connect the Ethernet Cable.

    :)

  3. laptop can't find wifi but connects with ethernet cable

    Please try these troubleshooting steps that may help.

    1. Make sure the router SSID broadcast is on.
    2. Change the wifi channel to see if it resolves the problem.
    3. Enter the SSID and WPA2 password manually and see if the laptop connects.
    4. Temporarily turn off the encryption.
    5. We go into device manager & check updates for wifi drivers, we may need to simply update the driver.
    6. We go to Settings - Network & Internet - Status - Change Adapter Options, then right-clicked 'Ethernet' and disabled it. We do the same with wifi. Then we (with Ethernet still disabled) enabled wifi. It should re-connect to your wifi after a while.
    7. We have to disconnect our Ethernet cable from our laptop and follow the steps:
      Start>Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center>Manage Wireless Networks and remove all wireless connections by right click on it and select Remove network from the drop down menu. After doing this, close the windows and scan for the wifi networks.
      Click on the available network and select connect. After a while, we will be asked to give a password for our wifi connection. Type the password and click on connect button. And now will be connected to our wifi network via wireless.
    8. First is to disconnect the internet cable from the laptop then uninstall/reinstall the wifi adapter.
      Go to Device Manager and uninstall the wifi adapter.
      Once uninstalled, reboot the laptop and it should reinstall the driver automatically.
      After the reboot do try connecting to your wireless network again.
      If all these will not work, do also make sure that the wireless adapter is enabled. Depending the model of your laptop there should be key combinations on how to enable/disable it.
