    How to switch from WLAN to LAN adapter? (if both exist)


    Asume I run a notebook which is currently successfully connected to a WLAN. Fine.

    Now I plugin a cable to another (!) physical Router into the LAN slot of the notebook.
    In order to configure this (second) router I have to type into the browser the localhost addres

    192.168.0.1

    But this way I always access the WLAN Router and NOT to the LAN router.

    How can I tell my Win7 system NOT to use the WLAN adapter but switch to the LAN adapter?

    Even if I disconnect the WLAN and re-type 192.168.0.1 my browser tells me "server not found"
    because Win7 still searches for a WLAN connection.

    I miss a way to (temporarily) switch the main network adapter in Win7.

    Is there a solution?

    Assign a static IP address to the LAN network adapter.
    Disable the wireless network adapter...
    ...or disconnect from the wireless access point.
