You can probably write a powershell script that will run on task scheduler, and the commands would (1) disable the LAN adapter, and (2) enabled the Wifi Adapter.

0 philcruicks Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 some quick googleing should do it, I've just started using PS and its not that hard to pick up the basics, just write it in notepad and save as a .ps1 file (think that's the right extension).

0 philcruicks Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 You running windows 7 or 8 cause that's powershell 2 script, PS3 makes it a bit easier but is only in win 8/svr2012 (again someone correct me if I'm wrong) and from the comments in the post looks like if your on XP it's not going to work at all. Take a look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134956.aspx that's all the cmdlets for the network adapter. This might also help http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/09/05/use-powershell-3-0-to-stop-network-adapters-on-windows-8.aspx looks like you can also use the connection name I.e. Ethernet or Ethernet 2 rather than the name of the device itself TP link wireless adapter or whatever. Hopefully those will help a bit.
