    I keep losing my connection.
    « on: January 15, 2022, 08:26:22 PM »
     had trouble getting connected because of too many walls, the problem was solved by going the ethernet way, google however keeps putting me back on wi fi, I am trying to make ethernet my priority,  I go to settings, network, status, change adapter options, I right click on Ethernet,  properties, and a list appears, Client to M/soft, file printers, Qos packet,  Protocol ver 4,  microsoft multiplex,  LLDP pro driver,  internet version 6.   All are ticked except Micro multiplex. NOW WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE???? HELP

    Disable the Wireless Adapter and it will be forced to use Ethernet Connection only. Otherwise they may compete and cause a headache as to which is considered the actual gateway out.

    If its a laptop and you need to use wireless at places, just turn the wireless adapter back on when not connected to ethernet. Then when you go to connect to ethernet again, shut off the wireless adapter and should be all set.
