2. Non-Admin : If you are on PC/Laptop and you do not have admin privileges then follow these instructions:
• Make wired highest preference

• Click on 'Change adapter settings' from the left panel
• Right Click the "Local Area Connection"
• Click Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4
• Click Properties > Advanced
• Un-check "Automatic metric"
• Enter 1 at the "Interface metric" ( You enter a number between 1 and 9999 where smaller is higher priority)
• Make wireless next preference
• Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
• Click on 'Change adapter settings' from the left panel
• Right Click the "Wireless Network Connection"
• Click Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4
• Click Properties > Advanced
• Un-check "Automatic metric"
