I'm using windows XP. I'm too broke for regular internet, so right now I an using free dial up (not too reliable). But also I live right at the outer range of a free wifi hotspot that I can just barely connect to using a cantenna. (I've tried many antennas, this has been the strongest). But even with that, the signal goes in and out and only works 1/3 of the time.
Well the problem is, whenever the wifi experiences trouble, my dial up connects and completely TAKES OVER, so that even when the wifi gets signal again, my computer sticks with using the slow dial up signal.
This gets really frustrating when its constantly dialing, and many times I'll disconnect, and the wifi will go down 2 seconds later, so I'm waiting 60 more seconds to reconnect on dial up.
Is there any way (either a setting, or even software) to make the wifi take the high priority rather than the dial up. Or even better, use them both simultaneously, so I'm not doing constant juggling?
