WiFi vs Cat 5 Ethernet connection on the same PC? Do they oppose one another?
My WIN 7 desktop PC possesses an internal wireless card for 2.4Ghz wifi.
The same PC is connected to my Arris AC7600 modem / router via a Cat 5e Ethernet cable.
Q: Would the internal wireless card disable the Ethernet cable connection?
When I boot into WIN 7, the Ethernet connection is disabled. I must enable the Ethernet connection in the Windows Network and Sharing Center each time I start my PC to enable the Ethernet connection to function.
NOTE: I need to retain the 2.4Ghz wireless connection capability on my PC so I can print and scan to a remote Epson multi function 4 in 1 device in another location in my house. Hence, I need BOTH Ethernet and WiFi connection capabilities.
