Win10 Deploy – Changing Traffic Priority Wired vs. Wireless

If you’re doing an OS Deployment and you have both wired and wireless connections active, you may notice some strange behaviors during your deployment. This normally happens if for example for security reasons your wireless lan don’t have access to some resources.

To make sure your traffic always travels on your wired connection, simple run the following command that changes the priority of your ipv4 traffic:

netsh int ipv4 set interface “Ethernet” metric=2

Note that this command is for Windows 8 and above. For Windows 7 change “Ethernet” to “Local Area Connection”.

And you’re done!
