    So I have my new M17x-R2 and I have it connected up to my wifi.. However when I plug my network cable in, it continues to use the wifi.. Why is this. Is there a way, without disabling the wifi each time, to force it to use the network cable over the wifi.. I have N wifi, and gigabit network..

    Thanks
    Mike
