You have a wireless router for the wi-fi adpter as you can see.
So the question is do you also connect to the same router Via an Ethernet cable.
Or Is it connected to a Ethernet wall outlet.?


Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

If you look on the adapter settings you have an alternate private IP setting. For the other network. user config.
The settings are wrong.

Set to auto.

General.

IP auto
DNS auto.




 


im connected via an ethernet wall adapter. which is the actiontec powerline adapter. ive tried to set them in auto. through the when i check they're both in auto (ip config and dns)
