    Inserting Ethernet Cord Does Not "Automatically" switch connection....


    Inserting Ethernet Cord Does Not "Automatically" switch connection to ethernet.

    This is the trouble I have to go through whenever I insert my ethernet cord:


    I have to go to network and sharing center

    Then I have to click change adapter settings

    Finally, I have to disable wireless network access for direct connection.

    I am wondering if there is some type of setting that I can check for on my

    Windows 7 OS to automatically enable the described function I want (which

    should already be enabled, unfortunately it is not).


    Not that these details really matter, but I have an Alienware m14xr2, but...


    OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

    6.1.7601 pack 1 build 7601

    BIOS Version/Date Alienware A09, 6/29/2012

    Installed physical memory (ram I assume) says 12gb, with 9.44gb available, which is strange because I have 16gb of ram!

    Available Virtual Memory 21.1gb

    System Type x64-based PC


    Thank You for the help in the future!

    Hi Sean, if you do this Wireless Setting.pdf before powering on your pc, it will work.

    By default with Windows, an Ethernet connection always takes over the connection the second it's plugged in.

    This happens on my machines without exception so I can't imagine why it would not be happening the same way on your machine.

    Although there are some settings in the Group Policy Editor under Network that might have an effect on this problem.
