    Right now my computer is connected by 1.0 Gbps Ethernet and 1.3 Gbps WiFi. Can Windows 10 take advantage of this or should I disable one these connections?

    :)

    Ethernet over wifi Windows 10

    Hi,

    I am connected to my home network using Wifi and Ethernet. I prefer using Ethernet because it is much faster, but my wifi keeps overriding the ethernet connection.

    If I disable wifi, I loose internet connectivity.

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    In addition, try prioritizing your LAN or ethernet connection rather than the Wireless on your NIC/wireless devices. Here's a simple tutorial on how to edit the "Automatic metric" of your ethernet device.

    Hope this helps.

    Are you having any issues? No you would not be able to take advantage of both connections since Windows would just route through the best one at any moment. It is only as good as your outbound connection for your provider.
