    WIFI or Ethernet Priority?


    Hello,

    So I've got a simple question really when a laptop is connected to a WIFI network then a Ethernet connection is plugged in which one will it use as priority?

    :)

  2. Find PRIMARY MAC address in the last version of Windows 10

    Well its primary when you use it. Do you currently connect with Ethernet or Wifi? If you use WIFI then use the wifi mac address If you primarily use Ethernet, then use the ethernet mac address.

  3. Change priority on network adapters without disabling any network adapter

    I am using Windows 10.

    Sometimes, I would like to use Ethernet for accessing resources on local area network and WiFi for internet. My WiFi network is actually my phone's tethered WiFi (I use my phone's internet). And, I always connect to the WiFi network later than Ethernet.

    I had set static interface metric for both my ethernet adapter and WiFi adapter. The WiFi adapter's interface metric is set to lower than the ethernet adapter's interface metric. But, this doesn't work until I disable and re-enable the ethernet adapter.
    Before I disable the ethernet adapter, Windows and all other installed software will still use the ethernet adapter for internet. I have to disable and re-enable the ethernet adapter to make all software use my WiFi network for internet.

    After reboot my computer, I always connect to ethernet first, then connect to WiFi later, and I would like to keep this way.

    So, since I had set static metric for both my ethernet adapter and WiFi adapter, how can I make Windows and all other software use WiFi for accessing internet by default,
    without disable and re-enable my ethernet adapter?

    Are you sure about that? Because to me it doesn't seem to.
