Well, each network adapter on your PC has been assigned a Metric, which in turn depends on a number of parameters. These include the speed of that link, the number of hops it takes to reach that specific destination, and the Delay time. Taking these three factors into consideration, each of the adapters gets assigned a Metric. The one having the lowest metric gets the highest privileges by the system. In this regard, if we keep our attention on the speed parameter, then the numerical metric system is as follows [Source: Microsoft Documentation]. So the system always follows a fixed pattern and straightaway gives the highest preference to the one with the lowest pecking order. But that might not be the best case in every use case scenario. Fortunately, we do have an option to change the metric of each of these adapters and assign the lowest (best, which is 5) to the one that is in sync with our requirement. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Given here are two different methods to change the network priority in Windows 11.
