how to cofigure ?


Recommended Posts

I have a two internet connection.

3G Internet Data Card ( USB Modem) -

Wi-Fi internet.

I want Wi-Fi to be primary internet connection. If Wi-fi disconnects or connection drops ,I want Internet from 3G .

again if Wi-fi reconnects , 3G to disconnect automatically. ( This will save Data Card Billing)

How do I configure ?

Win 7 Ultimate OS

Edit: Whoops forgot to add, you can view the current metric settings by opening up a command prompt and typing "route print". You should which devices are assigned which number.

Barring specific software that allows you to manage how the connections are accessed and when (I don't know of any personally for Windows), you can change the route metric and that might work.

If you go into the TCP/IP settings for your wireless adapter, then the Advanced tab you should see an option that says "Automatic Metric". If you turn that off, it gives you the option to change it. You would need to change it to a number LOWER than the 3G connection. I'm sorry but I'm not sure how to get to that setting on your 3G connection (however it might be in the same place for the 3G adapter as I've never used one). If you can change the 3G option, if it's set to the lowest number already you'll want to change it to a number higher than the Wifi adapter.

Theoretically, this is would cause Windows to choose Wifi over 3G assuming a Wifi connection is found. Hope it works for you. If you ever use a LAN, you would need to make sure your LAN card has a lower number than all of them so it would connect as soon as it finds a network over ethernet.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
