If several Wi-Fi networks are available, Windows automatically selects a wireless network with better signal strength (no matter what the speed of this connection is and how many devices are connected to it). However, when you connect your computer (laptop) to a wired Ethernet network, Windows keeps on using a Wi-Fi network, though the Ethernet connection speed is significantly higher, and the connection is more stable and not subject to interference. To switch to the cable Ethernet connection, a Windows user has to manually disable the Wi-Fi connection each time. Let’s see how to automatically turn off Wi-Fi when the Ethernet LAN cable is connected to Windows 10 or 11 device.
