    Wirelessly or Ethernet?
    « on: January 11, 2013, 01:51:06 PM »
    Hello

    If I have an activated wireless network card installed in my PC tower (Win 7) and it is also connected to a router via an ethernet cable, how am I actually connecting to the Internet: wirelessly or via the cable, and how would I know?

    Thanks!

    If the ethernet cable is connected, it will usually use that instead of the WiFi.  Disconnect the ethernet cable & it should revert to WiFi.
