About this tag
The wi-fi metrics tag focuses on controlling network adapter priority in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Its featured discussion explains how interface metrics influence routing when a computer has both Ethernet and Wi-Fi available. Rather than relying on older adapter-order controls, users can assign a lower metric to the wired connection through adapter properties or PowerShell, helping Windows prefer Ethernet. This archive is useful for understanding the relationship between interface metrics, IPv4 and IPv6 routes, and practical wired-versus-wireless configuration when you want more predictable connection selection on supported Windows network configurations.

    Prefer Ethernet Over Wi‑Fi on Windows 10/11: Set Interface Metrics (IPv4/IPv6)

    Windows still lets users give Ethernet priority over Wi-Fi by lowering the wired adapter’s interface metric, with the most reliable modern method on Windows 10 and Windows 11 being a manual metric change through adapter properties or PowerShell. The old adapter-order trick survives mostly as a...
