I have a laptop which runs windows vista and The laptop can either connect to my network using a standard utp cable or using the wifi connection.
Currently it is using the wifi connection automatically if available.I want to change the priority of my network adapters.
Location independent workers routinely connect via WiFi or 3G when roaming around the country, however when you come into the office you won’t necessarily be connected by the fastest means possible.
If you want to Change Network adapter priority in Vista follow these steps
Go to Start –>Network
Now you need to select the network and sharing center
Click manage network connections
Now you need to press Alt button on your keyboard to appear the advanced menu from here select advanced settings
Now you can select network connection and move up or down
That’s it enjoy your choice of network connection.

Windows 7 is really tricky on this.
Type binding in help and you will be guided to the hidden feature.
Windows 7 instructions are exactly the same as the above except instead of “manage network connections” you click “change adapter settings”
Everything else is identical
Drop down the “Organize” button,
scroll down to “Layout” and select the “Menu Bar”. This will give the
familiar options you’re used to seeing in XP. Click “Advanced” on the menu
bar, and select “Advanced Settings”.
Thanks Scootie. Stupid Win7 hides the menu bar containing important features.
Excellent article, was what I was looking for so I can prioritise between my home wireless and my iPhone wireless. Worked a treat on Win 7 64bit.
Thanks

Nice tips. I never knew that we just need to press Alt to show the menu bar.
Thanks bro
I have the priority as First: Lan and Second: Wireless on Windows 7. However, the Internet Connection keeps using Wireless as its first choice, so the priorities simply don’t seem to work. Has anyone got the same behavior?
