Is there a way to stop my Windows 7 laptop from connecting to the Wi-Fi if the ethernet cord is plugged in?
Essentially I want to have my wireless automatically connect to the router, but only if the ethernet cord is disconnected. If the ethernet cord is connected, I don't want it to automatically connect to Wi-Fi.
Thanks :)
You can change the order in which Windows searches for network services:
-
Go to Control Panel → Network and Sharing Center
-
On the left-hand side, click "Change adapter settings"
-
Go to Advanced → "Advanced Settings..." (if you cannot see the menu bar, hit Alt to make it visible)
-
The top list is the order in which connections are used. They can be rearranged using the green arrows.
