How to choose "internet connection" when connected to multiple networks (windows 10)

Hi all

Is there a quick way other than my having to disconnect/disable my lan when i connect to wifi for internet?

I want to have access to the devices connected to the lan when tethering to my phones wifi.

Cheers

I don’t think I was very clear in my original post. It works just as you said I can access everything whilst connected to both WiFi and lan.

I want to keep my lan connected permanently and then occasionally connect to the WiFi on my phone, however it will not automatically use the internet connection from the WiFi.

I need to disconnect the lan and then wait for the pc to pick up the internet before I can reconnect the lan. But my major problem is that the internet seems to switch back to from the lan connection (probably because the WiFi hotspot drops out sometimes).

I was wondering how I can choose where the internet comes from or has a priority of choice. Of that makes any sense

So I've set my vpn connection to 2, iphone tethered connection to 3 and my LAN connection to 5 but it still sometimes switches over to the LAN connection. probably because the iphone connection will drop from time to time.

it should just reconnect though right?
