Windows 10: Wifi keeps swapping to ethernet?

My PC wifi keeps swapping to ethernet and I have tried everything that has been suggested like resetting my PC and uninstalling and reinstalling my ethernet driver but so far nothing has worked.

Ethernet throttled after swapping from ethernet to wifi to ethernet again

Hello,

I'd like to report an issue I have that arises when I unplug the ethernet on my desktop (to use on another device) and swap to a USB wifi adapter I have and then swap back later to the ethernet, unplugging the wifi adapter.

It appears that windows (or something, my router?) throttles the speed of the ethernet after I have done this, and until I restart the computer, the speeds I achieve don't generally go above 2 Mbps. Once I restart, they go back to the general speeds I receive
(and pay for) of around 80+ Mbps.

Is there any explanation for this? I find it quite annoying that I have to restart my PC so that it can get the network speeds that it usually gets just because I swap between wifi and ethernet.

Thanks!

 

Bridging wifi and ethernet connections – wifi keeps disconnecting

Hi all,

I am trying to use Windows to bridge my wifi connection to non wifi devices. I have successfully setup the bridge in Network Connections. However, the wifi only stays connected for a few seconds before it disconnects (everything is working as expected, with wired devices having internet access, until wifi disconnects). This seems to be something to do with the ethernet cable being connected, as when I disconnect the ethernet the wifi stays connected.

Things I have tried:

• Turning off power management and checking bios for any funky power management settings
  
• Setting "Priority & VLAN" to disabled
  
• Disabling "Automatic metic" and setting wifi to priority order – though you don't seem to be able to change this for specific connections when bridged.
  

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

P.S. everything works fine with bridge disabled and using internet connection sharing enabled on the wifi. However I am unable to connect to devices such as printers (hence why I am trying bridged mode).

 

Ethernet over wifi Windows 10

Hi,

I tried as you suggested, but my wifi still keeps overriding the ethernet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
