<\/p>\nWhen running Windows 10, sometimes you have more than one network connection, and you want to select which NIC is the primary.<\/p>\n
In my case, I wanted to segment my network away from the network in house. I am connected wireless to house router, including my own router, which is performing as with multiple services like firewall, pxe\/tftpboot server, dns and timeserver. The home router only has 54G wireless connection, and have a downlink speed to house router at around 30MBit, I prefer to set my desktop and desktop to connect directly to house router(AC standard)\u00a0 for internet, and use local ressources from own router.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To list my NICs start a powershell and enter:<\/p>\n
Get-NetIPInterface<\/pre>\nmy output is:<\/p>\n

\n21 Ethernet with priority of 25
\n11 Bluetooth with priority of 65<\/p>\nTo set priority to Wifi, I need to set priority if Wifi to be a lower number than my ethernet. I do this by entering the following command:<\/p>\n
