  1. Dedicating a single adapter to a single network when using multiple WiFi adapters


    I have a SP6 and use a separate USB WiFi adapter to connect to an automotive scan tool. I would like to dedicate the second adapter to only be able to connect to the tools WiFi network, while allowing the built in WiFi adapter to roam to whatever network i may be near. In the past I accomplished this by selecting the second adapter and only asking it to connect to the tools WiFi network. It seems that in a recent update of windows they have changed something that allows all adapters on the device to connect to any network the device has saved. this is somewhat of a problem because it does not like to connect to the tool because there is no internet available obviously. It also tends to not reconnect the internal adapter to the building WiFi when i return from driving because the internal adapter connects to the tool also, because the networks are shared across the adapters. Any help to get me back to where I used to be great. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    How to disable network adapter use for a single user


    Hi all!!!

    I had a system with 4 users (2 admins, 2 users) and 2 network adapters (1 wired adapter and 1 wifi adapter).

    What I want to do is to disable 1 network adapter for each 2 users.
    A better explanation:
    - Users 1 and 2 should only have access to the wired adapter (Them are admins)
    - Users 3 and 4 should only have access to the wifi adapter (Them are users)

    I also want that users of both groups can be logged at the same time without gaining access to the other adapter.

    Thanks for the help.
