This video shows how to change which network connection Windows uses when both wired and wireless connections are active at the same time. This can be accomplished by adjusting the metric. By default, the metric is automatically calculated based on interface speed, and the faster interface will have the preferable metric. This can be easily adjusted though, which I show how to do in the video.
