I think there should be another tool ""managing"" the network settings for you. Possibly the mobile provider's 3G application for your 3G dongle. Try to uninstall it and use a popular 3rd party - otherwise, I've no idea what could be going on on your system I'm afraid. | |

I did notice something interesting, when I set the metric on the wifi card to 1, then go back in after a while, the number has changed to 4226. Doesn't always do it though! Overall what I'm trying to achieve is that if the internet connection via the wifi drops out it fails over to the 3G so that the laptop is always accessible | |
| May 6, 2013 at 16:57 | comment | added | user221741 | Hm. Weird. Try to swap Metric values (so set 10 for WiFi, 1 for 3G and keep "Automatic Metric" unchecked of course). If anything strange happens, please post it (e.g. favors 3G but sometimes now drops conn, etc). You don't have any "tricky" on your computer, right? Like network bridge, or keep or something. | |
| May 6, 2013 at 7:19 | comment | added | Adam | Hi, thanks for that. Unfortunately it didn't work. For some reason it keeps favouring the 3G connection rather than the wireless. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. | |
