Wifi network disconnects when wired network is attached
Hi,
I am currently struggling with the following problem:
I have a Windows 10 Pro computer that has wired internet connection to the office network.
And on top of that I need the computer to ALSO connect to my Sonoff Relay (ESP8266 Soft Access Point) over WiFi.
So I have put custom firmware into the Sonoff so that the ESP8266 acts like a hotspot on the network 192.168.4.x. The ESP itself has 192.168.4.1 and when I connect to the hotspot my computer gets 192.168.4.2
Ok - all good! I can talk to the wired Office connection (With Internet access) and I can access the little webserver on the ESP8266.
Suddenly the WiFi connection closes down for no reason...
It seems like Windows 10 is judging that I do not need that connection any more since I have a much better Wired connection...
I have tried all sorts of things - changing interface Metrics, keep pinging the ESP, changing interface order, disabling power save on wifi and so forth!
If only I could disable this annoying automatic feature in windows 10!
Hope there is help out there
