I have a desktop and I have had a Wireless adapter for a while, but I recently decided to purchase (very) long ethernet cable to connect via ethernet. It always connects to the Wifi though, and I can't figure out how to make the connection wired instead. I think the wifi connection just takes priority, but I tried disconnecting from the wifi and restarting pc but nothing happened. Do I have to remove the wireless adapter from my motherboard? If anyone else knows the solution I would be eternally grateful! Thanks! P.S. I have windows 8
 
Solution
you have drivers for the Ethernet installed?
and Ethernet enabled in BIOS (I presume it on motherboard and not a separate card)
Cheers
