Does the computer network have priority by default? By doing this, you can adjust them personally

Today's computers, whether they are notebooks or desktops, will basically be equipped with wired network ports and wireless Wi-Fi connection methods to ensure the adaptability of network connections. However, it is annoying that there is no priority setting of which network to use in Windows. There may be some friends who do n’t care, they can be used anyway.

But let's think about it. When the computer defaults to wired as the first priority network, when using a wireless connection to play games or download, after plugging in the Internet cable, the "pop" starts to switch the network in the background. first. The situations that may occur in daily life are far more complicated than the examples cited in the small series. Unlike being disrupted by the default priority of the network, you must learn to customize and adjust them according to personal needs.

I wo n’t show the registry today, open PowerShell (admin mode), enter

Get-NetIPInterface

Look at the current system, what are the default network contact methods, and how are their priorities sorted.

Pay attention to the values ​​listed under "InerfaceMetric" in the above picture. The smaller the value, the higher the priority. In the computer of Xiaobian, the priority of the Ethernet, that is, the priority network card is the first, and the wireless Wi-Fi Fi didn't know where to go.

If you want to increase the priority of other networks, you must continue to use commands

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex ?? -InterfaceMetric $$

It has been adjusted, where "??" represents the network serial number, just look at the first row of the picture, the "$$" behind is the "InerfaceMetric" value to be changed, the smaller the value, the higher the priority.

To adjust the Wi-Fi priority of the editor to the highest, the command format is

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex 14 -InterfaceMetric 4

Everyone learned it, oh, add another way to restore the default,

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex ?? -AutomaticMetric enabled

When repenting, use this to restore the previously adjusted network to the Windows default priority level.
