    Great answer. Thx (also for the route -n). I had to reboot after installing ifmetric for the command to change the metric Commented Feb 15, 2018 at 20:40

    @ThorstenNiehues: A quick solution coming to my mind to make it permanent is to add the ifmetric command to your crontab, by doing crontab -e and then add the line at the end: @reboot sudo ifmetric wlan0 50.
