Windows 10: How to set up mixed WiFi & Ethernet sharing on a network?

I am trying to share files and a printer on a network made up of computers with Ethernet and WiFi connections. Simply turning on network discovery and sharinng does not seem to do job.

configure two network type wifi public and Ethernet private


Hello,

I have two network adapters in Windows 10 one wifi for connecting to internet and one Ethernet for local network.
I need to configure wifi adapter to public network and Ethernet to private network but i can't.

Inverse it work ( wifi to private and Ethernet to public ) but I don't need that.
(only wifi adapter have option to be discoverable by others pd in Network Settings -> advanced options )


I need to share files by Ethernet AND NOT by wifi.

Any suggestion?

Thank you

 

Make Windows 10 connect/disconnect to WiFi based on Ethernet connection status

Steps:

1. Go to Control Panel\ All Control Panel Items\ Network and Sharing Center > click on 'Change adapter settings' then use the 'alt button' to show menus and select Advanced Settings...
   
2. Under Connections section, select Ethernet, and use the arrows to the right to move Ethernet above WiFi.
   
3. Click OK.
   

Windows will now prefer the Ethernet over the WiFi for connecting to the internet. This should apply for Windows 8, 8.1, and 10.

 

Networked Computers Show with WiFi - Not with Dock via Ethernet

Have you checked the Ethernet network properties? It might just be as simple as your wireless network location set to private whereas Ethernet location is, as it by default is, public.
