1Two ways: Unplug the Ethernet Also (alternative) set the metric (network properties) so that Wireless ranks higher than Ethernet.– anonCommented Oct 29, 2023 at 0:45

I assume you are using static IP for the Ethernet interface (because I don't see how otherwise could make sense). Have you set a default gateway for it? Because you shouldn't.– Tom YanCommented Oct 29, 2023 at 5:47

@John I don't want to disable my Ethernet interface since I am using that to communicate with the router, I just don't want to use it for an Internet connection on my laptop. I tried setting the metric of the WiFi interface to 5 and Ethernet to 1, which didn't seem to have any effect for me (please correct me if this isn't how that's supposed to be set up).– GarhooginCommented Oct 29, 2023 at 21:22

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
