Connect to internet with wifi, while wired to a different LAN through ethernet
Solution 1:
The following is a step by step process as to how you can use wireless internet without taking out your ethernet cable out.
- Open Network and Sharing Centre ("Network Status" Win10).
- Go to "Change Adapter Settings" ("Change adapter options" Win10)
- Go to properties of Local Area Network.
- Click on Internet Protocol version 4 and go to it's properties.
- Click on Advanced
- You will see a block checked there by the name of "Automatic Metric".
- Uncheck it and then enter 2 in that section.
- Now, Do the same for the wireless network but enter 1.
Save the setting and you'll be able to use wifi even when your ethernet cable is connected to the LAN.
Solution 2:
Figured it out, I needed to set the ethernet LAN IP of my machine to static and remove the default gateway.
