Hello Guys
If i connect to wifi modem via laptop and connected same wifi modem via lan cable to same laptop, if wifi signal get lost will it automatically uses LAN cable? in option i see both connected.
Today i just cleaned my laptop and changed thermal grease, so i think i damaged something, wifi is near laptop but signal is weak, on phone signal is good, so i`m just lazy to open laptop again to fix or replace wifi adapter (i have 1 extra from another laptop)

The antenna for your WIFI is probably disconnected. The antenna is behind the display and a cable runs from the lid of the laptop to the motherboard.

ya, i think same, but i`m lazy to open all the screws again, anyway i`m using this laptop as desktop and not moving it around, just got curious if this works the way i`m asking, if wifi signal is lost will it auto switch to lan without losing connection let say if i`m watching movie or playin online game

Generally, if the LAN is valid it will take precedence over WIFI. I would disable the WIFI it you are using it as a desktop.
