    1 wired + 1 wireless connection issues

    Hi,

    I have been trying to get my computer working in a home network through a router with a wireless connection, while at the same time having internet provided through a wire.

    The reason this is an issue is because the wired does not go through the router while the wireless of course does.

    The issue I am having is that when both are connected my internet connection comes through the wireless and not the wired.

    What I want is for the wireless to connect to the network while the wired connects to the internet.

    I am using windows 8.1

    Thank you,

  3. Losing network connection

    Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

    2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
    In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

    3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

    4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

    I Hope you solve out your query soon.

    Automatic disconnect wireless connection upon a wired connection

    Hi,

    I have a problem with automatic disconnecting wireless connection upon a wired connection. This is my situation and solutions I took but none of them worked:

    I start Lenovo laptop and when it boots, it connects to my home wireless network (I want this to happen; following settings are sets on that network: connect automatically when this network is in range, connect to a more preferred network if available).
    What I also want is that when, in specific situations, I plug LAN cable into it, that wireless connection would be automatically disconnected and automatically connected when I unplug it.

    Following solutions were taken, but they didn't produce a wanted result:

    • setting disable upon wired connect on enable on a wireless adapter
    • setting wired adapter on the highest priority
    • setting wired autoconfig service on automatic startup type
    • route print shows wired metric 10 and wireless metric 11
    The result that was produced: when I connect LAN cable it shows connections: first wired, second wireless, but both of them connected (both interfaces got IP address) and on windows tray it is still shown wireless connection icon not wired.
