Windows 10: How to Use Ethernet on My Wi-Fi Laptop

I have a Wi-Fi Laptop with Win10 Pro and when there is an Ethernet cable attached, the speed is the same as before. I want to keep the Wi-F- when I am away from the router
Have made changes to the Internet Protocol Version 4 and removed the check mark at Automatic metric and put the number 5 in the Interface metric. Do not have TCP/IPv6.

The above are my Network Connections.
What changes should be made so I can receive my cable internet speed on my Laptop?
I have the same issue with my Desktop that has an Ethernet cable attached but also has Wi-Fi. The connectors on the desktop look much the same as my Laptop, but I normally get my cable speed

Different Network Connection From the same Wi-Fi

Hi,

Thank you for providing the details.

As mentioned above in your post, the Desktop is connected to the Ethernet
and Laptop is Connected to the Wi-Fi. It is not possible to connect to the same Wi-Fi networks. If both Desktop and Laptop are on Wi-Fi devices then you could try connecting it to the same Wi-Fi network.

• Did you try the below step provided and what was the result?

I would suggest you to create a new HomeGroup and check if it helps.

Wi-Fi, Ethernet, WinAudio fail to start on boot


I posted this on the Microsoft Community Help board and got little to no attention from the support engineers. Hopefully someone here can help.

I am having a recent problem with Windows 10. I have been running Windows 10 Home Edition from an on-line upgrade on my Lenovo Y510P for months with no issues. About a week ago, I started noticing that after a restart, my system tray icons for Audio and Network (either Wi-Fi or Ethernet) would start out fine but about half-way through the start up process would become marked with a red X or a warning yellow triangle with an exclamation point.

The Audio can be restarted either by running the trouble shooter or turning on the WinAudio service. The Ethernet actually works just fine but the yellow triangle warning icon persists and claims to either be constantly identifying the network or displays that the connection is unknown. Running the trouble shooter finds no problems. The Wi-Fi system tray icon appears with it's obligatory warning triangle and the Wi-Fi will connect to a known network if in range, but there is no Wi-Fi Icon in the Action Center, and no Wi-Fi entry in the Network & Internet Settings list either.

If you list the adapters in Network Connections, the Wi-Fi does appear and you can access the properties for the adapter, but if you try to select connect/disconnect from the context sensitive menu, it does not open a list of locally available networks, instead you are taken back to the All Settings Screen. Likewise if you run the trouble shooter on the Wi-Fi adapter when away from a known local Wi-Fi network, the troubleshooter tells you to pick a network from a list. When you click on the link, you are not taken to a list of networks, but rather back to the All Settings screen.

I have updated the drivers for the audio and both network adapters, The device manager claims all devices are operating appropriately. Malwarebytes reveals nothing.

I suspected the problem might be related shared service dependencies, but the problem persists through a clean boot in which both services and start-up items were tested. Neither a system scan nor a DISM repair revealed any corrupt system files.

I did notice that if I click on the "connect to the internet" icon on the log in screen, I do get a list of the dozen or so available Wi-Fi networks in my immediate vicinity. I can not see that list anywhere once I log into Windows 10 proper.

I created installation media (burned the Win 10 .ISO to a DVD) and performed a reinstall of Windows 10 which allowed me to keep my installed apps. I'm guessing both this and the basic system refresh maintain many settings and registry entries that are likely the source of my problem. Reinstalling Windows 10 did not resolve my issues.

I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 Laptop's Wi-Fi Adapter has disappeared

Today, after I restarted my laptop, I checked the Wi-Fi on my laptop and saw a message saying "Not Connected - No connections are available" where the Wi-Fi symbol would be. This can't be because the Wi-Fi is down, because as of this writing, other members
of my household are using it with no issues. I opened the Network and Sharing Center and then went to "Change adapter settings" to see if my Wi-Fi Adapter was disabled only to find that no such adapter exists on that page, only the Ethernet adapter. When I
let Windows troubleshoot the issue, it suggests only that I should plug in an Ethernet cable, with no mention of Wi-Fi.

My laptop has, before today, sometimes lost the Wi-Fi Adapter, but it always came back after a restart. Now, three restarts later, it's not working.
