Fallback to second internet connection after internet access loss?
My computer has two network adapters connected to two different internet gateways. One is Ethernet and the other is WIFI.
The Ethernet connection is first on the access order list (if you don't know what I'm talking about, see the image attached) and the WIFI is second.
Today, the internet access was lost on the Ethernet connection, however internet access was still available on the WIFI connection. In spite of this, Windows and all other applications were sill trying to use the first connection, instead of switching to the one with internet access!
What I want to know is, why, for example, when only the internet access is lost on one adapter (i.e. the adapter is still connected, (has an IP) but no internet gateway or DNS server address(es) are available), Windows doesn't fallback to the other connection, which has internet access?
In the same sense; why can't Windows 7 divide outgoing connections between all internet-connected adapters, and utilize two separate bandwidths?
Thank you very much!
