[SOLVED] How to use Eathernet+WiFi on the same PC!

[Kisuke42]

Hello all,

I have unlimited but unreliable WiFi connection. I also have good Ethernet connection but with a download limit.
I play online and want to use my Ethernet for games only and WiFi for everything else.

How do I do this on Win7?

Thank You.

Using a Powershell script.

if( (Get-NetAdapter -Name "WiFi").Status -eq "Disabled"){
Disable-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet"
Enable-NetAdapter -Name "Wifi"
"Wifi enabled, Ethernet disabled"
}else{
Disable-NetAdapter -Name "Wifi"
Enable-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet"
"Ethernet enabled, Wifi disabled"
}


I use to do the same thing when I lived in the boonies and had a metered connection.

There are applications which will let you "bind" an application to a network interface. You can have both connections online, with default being (eg) WiFi.
