    Permanently prefer wifi connection over LAN


    I'm out in the country and have a very poor landline internet connection, the laptop is connected to my home network via a LAN cable. I have better internet connectivity via a mobile phone hotspot, and this is connected via Wifi to the laptop and this is where I want to direct my internet traffic to.Ideally, I want the laptop to be able to force all internet traffic via the wifi connection, and have ONLY local traffic destined for other computer on network, NAS etc go down the LAN connection.I have read multiple and tried methods of acheiving this, from setting the network metric manually,

    :)
