I'm using a desktop having 2 networks - Wired (192.168.2.1)& Wifi (192.168.3.1). Both are from same router that WAN gets it ( WAN -> 192.168.2.1 -> 192.168.3.1)

Wifi is separated mostly to reduce traffic (IPCAMS) from 192.168.2.1 and sometime internet is disconnected from it to check IOT devices.

Sometimes when Wifi is without internet, Desktop "loses" internet as well (when disconnecting WiFi - internet is back on ). This is not a connectivity issue, Wifi is OK.

So, my question is if there's a way to prioritize Wired network over Wifi ?

  • I'll be happy to kn ow if number of priority has any meaning other than smaller than/ bigger than – guyd Mar 27 '21 at 10:36
  • It seems like another option is to use NetworkManager [ubuntu-network-management](https://www.answertopia.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-network-management/) – Pavel Sapehin Jan 16 '22 at 04:53
