    Wifi is disabled when LAN connected - want both active at the same time - how do I...


    With a recent WIN10 pro upgrade, my laptop can no longer keep its WIFI connection active when connected to a LAN. This creates problems as my primary printer is WIFI enabled, but "stand alone" - not on the network. In order to print content, I need to disconnect (undock) the laptop so that WIFI can be turned on, and then print documents. This is a real problem when I want to print web content or e-mails that may require an internet connection.


    I can understand potential energy management benefits of doing this, but there has to be a way to over-ride this default operation. How do I do this?

    :)

    Lan and wifi connection switching randomly


    Am running Windows 10 homewith HP laptop. I am connected directly to my cable/phone modem and, also, have installed Netgear router connected to modem. My internet connection keeps on changing from LAN to Netgear wifi. It is bothersome when trying to download and surf. Not sure whether it's a Windows problem or Netgear problem. Any suggestions would be helpful.
