How to control automatic network connections sequence

[George Sirk]

I use Blue tooth, LAN and wi-fi "networks"
Upon restart win10 connects automatically to LAN
Does not connect to Wi-fi automatically.
This becomes a problem when LAN and wi-fi are on different "routers"
Is there any way to tell Win10 which router I wish to connect to first?
(before log on)
Curious

You can try setting the metric for IPv4 on your individual adapters manually
Try setting your wireless to 1 and the wired connection to a number greater than 1 and see if that helps.
You will likely need to reboot to test to see if it helps.

Thanks for the reply
I tried it but so far no luck. I am using automatic IP assignments, perhaps it only works if I use manual IP assignments.

IDK...... the only other thing I could find was

Suggesting that you might adjust the actual interface metric to control the priority of one adapter over another.
