DSL Feedback: The wired connection typically takes priority.
If you want to use both, you would need to modify your PC’s routing table. The only way I know to do that is by running the command line interface (cmd.exe) and using the route command:
route print
route add
route delete
Caution!! Modifying your PC’s routing table — it will not go away after a reboot – so make sure you know what to undo after you attempt to change it!!
