Most modern Linux distributions, like ubuntu today uses Network-Manager. You can control that from the terminal using either nmcli og nm-tui<\/p>\n
To display current connections configured, with priority:<\/p>\n
nmcli -f NAME,UUID,AUTOCONNECT,AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY c<\/pre>\nTo display the primary route to the internet<\/p>\n
route -n<\/pre>\nYou can set a temporary connection priority, by install ifmetric. (Lower number is higher priority)<\/p>\n
apt install ifmetric\r\nifmetric wlp6s0 50<\/pre>\nFor a more permanent fix, i have chosen to write the above command, and run it as a service.<\/p>\n
