auto disabling of wifi when ethernet connected

Hi

I had auto disabling of wifi when ethernet connected, using a Realtek App, which worked extremeley well, it was accidently uninstalled, now i cant find this app anywhere. was called wifi monitor i think.

Apparently there is a way of doing this within windows, but need some guidence please, unless someone knows of the App for Realtek RTL8811AU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB 2.0 Network Adapter


thanks

Yes I found this
the properties of my WiFi adapter doesn’t have ‘ disabled hon wired connect’ so can’t do that one.

WLAN manager looks promising, but although i ran the first script in power shell, couldn’t work out how to run the command

.\WLANManager.ps1 -Install:System

although I haven’t tried GPEDIT option yet, could be an answer also....will try that....maybe better than WLAN manager, which could stop working as it’s already 2 years since the last update.

Have you seen:
Automatically Turn Off Wi-Fi Upon Ethernet Connect in Windows
- I'll leave you to check if there's anything new there.

My wireless adapter doesn’t have that option, tried GPEDIT, seemed to work, then left WIFi and Ethernet on together

Thank you very much for your reply.

See if you can run a scheduled task with a trigger on ethernet connection; the task's action would then be to disable Wifi.

First problem is to try to identify an appropriate event id.

Here's a starter for 10 you can experiment with:

The most straightforward event is in the Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/NetworkProfile log. There is a EventId 4004 "Network State Change Event" that fires whenever a network connection is made or re-identified.

It's up to you to see if that's unique to an ethernet connection, and if not, see if there is one.

Just a thought you can experiment with.

People who write Autohotkey scripts have had some discussions on detecting connections, but I didn't see anything immediately helpful.
