Windows 10: Is there a way to set up win10 so it will use ethernet cord first then wifi if that gets...

Or the reverse; use wifi then ethernet but I would prefer eth to wi. I keep getting disconnected from my online gaming because my ethernet pops out the jack in the back. Instead of loosing my online progress and having to restart a frozen computer, again and again, by turning it off and back on, I would rather just jump from ethernet to wifi. How can I make this happen?

Cannot connect to ethernet no valid ip configuration

We appreciate the information you've provided. We'd like to confirm the results after following the steps on the link provided on our previous post.

Meanwhile, to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check the following:

• 
  If the Ethernet port is clean.
  
• 
  If the end of RJ45 (Ethernet cord) is still intact.
  
• 
  If available, test the RJ45 (Ethernet cord) to your other device and check if issue persists.
  

We look forward to your reply so we can assist you further.

 

Network and Internet settings, No Ethernet option

Hi Sebastian,

Just to clarify, to which port have you plugged in the Ethernet cord, Is it to the phone jack or Ethernet port?


The Ethernet section appears if you're connected to a network via Ethernet, and is similar to the Wi-Fi section.



I suggest you to unplug the Ethernet cord from the laptop and restart the system. Then I suggest you to turn on the Wifi and plugin the Ethernet cord and check if you can see any drivers identified from the action center from the task bar.

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.

 

WIFI drops out unless power cord is plugged in.

Hi all, I have a relatively new laptop. I connect to WIFI via a mobile hotspot, pocket wifi or house connection. The WIFI will drop out if I don't have the power cord plugged in. When I don't have the cord connected and the WIFI drops out, the 'trouble
shooter section' suggests that an ethernet cable is 'missing'. Maybe this is why it is stable when I do connect the power cord? Seems strange. Can anyone help?
