    Using wifi for one specific connection and wired for Internet access


    Hi, I have a new pc and while trying to connect my Meat Quest 3 via WiFi, I find that the connect through the cable and router is not sufficient. As I have both wifi and cable capability on my pc, can I connect the Quest 3 direct toy pc using the wifi only, while still using the cable for Internet?

    :)

    W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

    I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:
    1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
    2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
    3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
    4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
      1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
      2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection
    My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?

  3. Can not connect to wired network and wifi at the same time.

    I have a Windows 7 box I'm working with.

    There is a wired local network which provides access to a network hard drive and printer.

    There is a wireless network that provides access to the internet.

    The system had been working fine.

    Problem now is that the wifi will find the router, but not connect to the internet.

    Now when the wired network is plugged in the wifi will connect to the router, but not provide internet access.

    If I unplug the wired network the wifi connects to the internet normally.

    Windows Network Diagnostics is unable to provide any solution or possible cause.

    One thing that comes to mind is a problem with the network card (which is build into the motherboard).

    Another idea that comes to mind is that the computer is attempting to get internet access from the wired connection and when that fails it is not going to the wifi connection. Is there a way to tell Windows to only look for internet access via the wifi?

    I followed the process here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2526067

    Moving the wifi network connection to the top of the list. Wired to the bottom.

    Is there any thing I should be looking at in the software or settings? Thanks.

    Hi Jagadeesh,



    To learn more about your concern regarding connecting to the Internet, we just have a few questions:

    • Were you trying to access a specific website?
