Disable Wifi when connect via ethernet in windows 7

Every time I connect to my ethernet, windows 7 will NOT disable the wifi. Is it a driver issue or what?

I don't think it's a driver issue, but just how windows works. Every laptop I've had does that.

Use the proper key to turn it off. If you have your wireless set to automatically connect, that`s what it`s gonna do.

Add ram - how do you turn it off?

There should be a key on the keyboard ( sometimes has a pic of an antenna ) or a button somewhere. Usually newer laptops will have a blue light when it`s on and a amber light when it`s off.

There are many video reviews of the XPS 17 on youtube.

ADDRAM - Like everyone else we are all lazy and don't feel like to hit a key. I was thinking that it was automaticly done and that is what I'm looking for.

logicearth-I was thinking the same thing, but mine doesn't do it. I've looked in internet connections and such and can't find anything. Got a map to where I can tell it when I'm wired to discount the wifi?

When you connect your ethernet cable and you are already connected wirelessly, the network icon in the bottom right is still gonna show the bar graph. Right click on the network icon and open network and sharing center. Click on connect or disconnect and then right click on your network and disconnect.

Or just left click on the network icon and disconnect from your wireless network.

It is fine to leave the wireless on when you hard wire, you will be getting 100 Mbs.

I'm not sure all drivers support this feature - mine does:
Documentation

Check yours via device manager and the properties of the wireless NIC.
