• Prefer cable ethernet to WiFi?

  Is there somewhere in Windows XP, 7 and 8 to have use the ethernet cable only when it is plugged in even with WiFi enabled or connected?

  Hello Dhinged,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.

  According to your description, it seems that you try to give preference to the Ethernet cable while keeping a Wi - Fi connection enabled. You can turn on Wi - Fi or cable connected at the same time, but you cannot use the Internet from one of them. The computer will prefer the cable if the cable is connected.

  If both are capable of providing Internet access, computer will prefer the wired (Ethernet) network to access the Internet (and not use the Wi - Fi network to access the Internet).

  The advantage of using two connections is to get Internet access without interruption when a connection does not work.

  If your computer is picking up a Wi - Fi connection right now, you can unplug all the connections and then try to first connect the Ethernet cable and wireless.

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Thank you

• How to configure the Ethernet Apple TV connection

  With the new Apple TV Remote app how configure you a 3rd Gen Apple TV which is connected by ethernet? It seems that the Apple TV Remote app requires the Apple TV to be connected via WiFi.

  the ethernet port is located on the back

  your router must enable DHCP, if you are having problems with the wired connection, you can reset the router to the default settings. See the page of Web developers for information on this.

  the remote control does not connect over wi - fi, so it does not matter if the device is on a network, or not the remote control is concerned.

  Apple TV (3rd generation) - technical specifications

  If you can't fix this, go to settings, forget the current network of wi - fi and restart the device

  Settings > general > network > Wi - Fi

  
  

  Settings > general > restart

  
  

  If you are unable to connect with a wired connection, check the cable connection and verify that the cable works.

• Use the ethernet port to connect a pc

  Hello

  I intend to use my raspberry pi to do some projects, but is not close to the router (needs thought Ethernet connection - and before anyone asks I'm not able to use a wifi dongle to connect because of the requirements of the project size wise), but near my officejet 6700, can I use the Ethernet port on the printer to connect my raspberry pi to the network from that the printer is connected. I have to play with settings?

  Can anyone help

  Thanks in advance

  Martin

  No you can not use the Ethernet port on the printer.  It is only to connect the printer to a wired network.

• Compaq 6910p - wireless adapter turns off when the ethernet cable is connected

  Hi all

  Then, when I plug in an ethernet cable (connected to a router), my wireless adapter turns off.

  He immediately turns on when I unplug the ethernet cable.

  It isn't really a problem, either connection will provide my needs of networking, but it's just weird and I don't like it.

  Using Win7 Ultimate 64 bit.

  advice would be appreciated.

  Hello:

  This is the default setting to save the battery.

• is it possible to combine ethernet and wifi connections to use both at the same time

  I want to fill the two connections without using third-party software can do this combine is wifi and ethernet, all use both faster speeds for

  Ethernet is the fastest connection to use your modem/router and it will not combine or run them both at the same time.

  To test your speed, try > http://www.speedtest.net/

  If you are unhappy with the speed of your ISP, you need to communicate with them or another ISP.

• Time capsule is not displayed but the work of WIFI connection

  Hello

  I have a Time Capsule 2 giga, which is used as a WIFI router connected to my normal router via Ethernet and an Airport Extreme, main, used as extension. Until today everything worked well.

  Now, when I open the Airport utility to display the connection, it shows me that the TC and AE are not registered more (device not found). But I can still access the Wifi and internet via networks, I created, but not the backup.

  I unplugged the TC and AE, reconnected them, reset, then the connection worked.

  But now it is again.

  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Concerning

  Unfortunately, this issue is not new and has been reported a number of times since OS X Mavericks.

  AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station.

  When access to the airport through the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order, accessibility with the utility check after each step:

  • Check the local connection. If you try to access the airport wireless, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
  • Try to access the base station using the utility file > configure other... option. Then enter the IP address of LAN - side base station (the default value is: 10.0.1.1) and password of the administrator of the base station.
  • Make sure that the base station and your computer are configured for IPv6 link-local only.
    • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
    • For the AirPort Base Station:
      Note: You may temporarily connect your Mac or PC directly to the base by Ethernet station to access.
      • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
    • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually
  • The base station power cycle. Remove the power branch of the socket adapter and then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in.
  • Perform a ' default ' reset on the base station.
  • Finally, if you try to access the Airport via an Ethernet connection, make sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo frames, that is, by using a MTU of 9000 +.

• Pavilion dv7 Notebook - how will I know if I'm connected with the Ethernet cable or wireless?

  The notification area icon displays only a wireless connection, although the ethernet cable is connected to the laptop.  HP Connection Manager shows that both wired and wireless connections are active.  All of my previous laptop (not HP) had different icons for wireless to a wired connection in the notification area.  HP has a different icon for a wired connection?  If so, why it doesn't show in the notification area?

  Enrico, thank you.  I have installed Win7 Pro.

  The Network and Sharing Center says I'm connected wireless.

  Program of HP's "Connection Manager" shows that both the wired (ethernet) and wireless networks are connected.

  If I am always connected wirelessly with the ethernet cable plugged into my machine, how to move from the wired connection?

  Open the network and sharing Center. Look at the picture of what I have posted. Do you see where it says log in or out? Select it, and then disconnect from the wireless network. If you are also connected to the wired connecttion, then the connection should be almost transparent.

• MB Pro restarts randomly with the ethernet cable is plugged

  I recently bought a thunderbolt reduction - Ethernet [1] and it works very well. The problem is that when it is plugged in, my MacBook Pro (13', 2015, i5, 8 GB) gets very hot. This isn't a problem, but the next thing is really annoying.

  Whenever I'm not load, but the ethernet cable is connected, and MacBook goes into sleep mode, the system turns off instead. Thus, for example, when I don't have the power cable and if go for 5 minutes, the system automatically sets the mode 'sleep'. When I come back, it is turned off, and when I hit the power button, a black screen with the Apple logo and a text in several languages, saying that the system restarted because of a problem. After that, MacBook starts normally.

  The same phenomenon occurs:

  • When the power cable is not connected and I close the screen
  • When the power cable is not connected and I SLEEP manually the MacBook
  • When the screen is closed and I plug the power or the ethernet cable

  I use OS X 10.11.

• Keyboard WiFi connect and start over, intermittent stop

  I have a 'Maverick' OS X IMac desktop computer 10.9.5, 2.7 GHz core i5 processor.

  When I want to enter my password to start the computer, my WiFi connected keyboard does not work. I tried everything, change batteries, computer downtime, change keyboard WiFi, etc, sometimes it works again, so it doesn't work anymore, intermittent problem. There is no problem when I connect a USB keyboard. Can anyone help?

  Hello Pierrette45,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  Leave your post, it looks like you have a problem with your wireless keyboard does not. I also understand that you have completed a ton of fun troubleshooting. One thing I would look for in this situation is a potential cause of the interference of the signal as described in the following article.

  our mouse or keyboard intermittently not responding

  Follow these steps if your mouse or your keyboard sometimes stops responding temporarily.

  Click or press a key

  • Click on the mouse or trackpad, or press a key on the keyboard to reconnect the device to the computer. It may take a while for the device to respond.

  Search for interference of signals

  • Wireless networks that operate on 2.4 GHz can cause interference. Move base stations of phone wireless, microwave ovens and other appliances of 2.4 GHz far your Mac if you suspect interference.
  • Keep devices wireless to 10 meters (30 feet) of your Mac.
  • Avoid putting metal objects between your wireless device and your Mac.
