    Is there a setting that will disable or disconnect the wi-fi automatically when I have a wired connection for the Dell XPS 17 L702x?

    I searched through the settings and don't see an option. I just prefer to disable the wi-fi if I'm on a wired connection. My old Dell lattitude laptop from work would do this, so I'm susprised this option isn't standard on these new laptops.

    Fn F2, only way I have easily found to disable wireless.
