Windows 10: Wired & Wireless Simultaneous Connection - Priority?

Apparently, I have to keep my WiFi on my PC on for some other use, but mainly I use a wired connection to my router for internet.

How does Windows 10 prioritize which connection to use (wired vs wireless) and how can I ensure that Windows 10 is forcing internet through the wired connection to avoid possible drops that happen with wireless but at the same time, leave open my wireless?

Basically, I'm experimenting with Miracast and apparently I have to have my WiFi turned on.

Automatic disconnect wireless connection upon a wired connection

Hi,

I have a problem with automatic disconnecting wireless connection upon a wired connection. This is my situation and solutions I took but none of them worked:

I start Lenovo laptop and when it boots, it connects to my home wireless network (I want this to happen; following settings are sets on that network: connect automatically when this network is in range, connect to a more preferred network if available).
What I also want is that when, in specific situations, I plug LAN cable into it, that wireless connection would be automatically disconnected and automatically connected when I unplug it.

Following solutions were taken, but they didn't produce a wanted result:

• setting disable upon wired connect on enable on a wireless adapter
• setting wired adapter on the highest priority
• setting wired autoconfig service on automatic startup type
• route print shows wired metric 10 and wireless metric 11

The result that was produced: when I connect LAN cable it shows connections: first wired, second wireless, but both of them connected (both interfaces got IP address) and on windows tray it is still shown wireless connection icon not wired.

 

Windows 10 - Wired and Wireless connection simulataneously

Dear All

I would like to use mi Wireless connection for OneDrive for business and Ethernet wired network for the rest.

Is there a way of achieving that?

• Changing priority and assigning an interface metric as described here (Wired and Wireless connections on the same Windows 7 machine.) didn't work;
• The Wireless connection turns off when I plug the ethernet cable;

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Luis

 

1 wired + 1 wireless connection issues

Hi,

I have been trying to get my computer working in a home network through a router with a wireless connection, while at the same time having internet provided through a wire.

The reason this is an issue is because the wired does not go through the router while the wireless of course does.

The issue I am having is that when both are connected my internet connection comes through the wireless and not the wired.

What I want is for the wireless to connect to the network while the wired connects to the internet.

I am using windows 8.1

Thank you,
