Would it be possible to use my two network connections to split the usage. That probably doesn't explain it very well, what I intend to do is use my WLAN to connect to my router just for internet traffic and then use my LAN connection also connected to the same router to just deal with LAN traffic?

I can't think of how I would split them so may not be possible, just a thought.
 
Sounds more plausible than I thought. You say this is messy eh? Require a lot of networking knowledge?

I don't have masses of knowledge but I fine with setting up manual network settings.
 
Right after some searching on my badass router I've got an option to set it up so that it can serve 'guests' as such meaning they have no access to the LAN at all which I can do for my WLAN but I seem to have a problem with getting it to accept that the WLAN is the main source of internet even after swapping the network priorities in the advanced section of the network connections area. Any ideas?
 
Where would I go about adding those rules as such? In cmd or on the router? If cmd is that the actually syntax I would use minus the bracketed text?
 
couldn't get it to work exactly as I wanted with the route add commands as for some reason after adding the first one it cut off all internet which I found strange but I added the following

route add 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2

and that's working fine for the LAN then just connected to the guest account on the wireless. But I'm guessing I'm going to have problems connecting to other LAN networks with the route settings like this?
