I have an internal NIC and a USB NIC with a large antenna. I've tested and the USB Nic gets better reception and speed when I'm at my desk. When I plug in, both NICs are connected. When I run a bandwidth test I get better speed with the internal NIC disabled. I'm tired though of remembering to enable the internal NIC when I'm not plugged in (away from my desk.)
Is there a way in Windows 8 to setup profiles so that when the USB is plugged in, is disabled the internal NIC or when the AC power is plugged in it disables the internal NIC? The former is much preferred as there may be times I have AC power but not plugged into the USB NIC at my desk.
Or is Windows 8 SUPPOSE to send traffic through the NIC with the strongest connection automatically (which it doesn't seem to do.)
