I have a wired Internet access via Ethernet cable that I usually use and want to keep using.
I also have an ASUS USB Wireless dongle that I need in order to connect to the home router in order to access printer wirelessly.

However, if both connections are available (and even used), the system always chooses the wireless one over the wired one. I want the system only to use wireless connection in order to access the printer, while making it use wired connection for everything else.

The current workaround is to disable the USB dongle via Devices Manager and enable it whenever I need the printer. This however is not really convenient.

Is it possible to configure the system like that? And where is that priority even set and why?

Not really as I specifically purchased the smallest one to insert it into the back I/O panel. Also, this is the same workaround as I am using currently, just a physical variation of it.
