dual connection

About this tag
The dual connection tag covers scenarios where a Windows PC uses two network interfaces simultaneously, such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi, often on different subnets or for separate purposes. Common topics include routing conflicts when both connections are active, managing interface metrics to prioritize traffic, and accessing devices on one network while maintaining internet connectivity through the other. Users seek ways to keep both connections functional without one blocking the other, for example, to enable remote desktop or file sharing on a local LAN while still browsing the web. Troubleshooting involves adjusting adapter settings, route tables, or using scripts to detect multiple external IP addresses.
