Wifi or Hardwired ?

When my Macbook Pro is connected to wifi and a hardwired Ethernet cable does it know to use the hard wired connection for connecting to the internet?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

unless you manually change the service order or if a service fails then Ethernet is prioritized over wi-fi. If that network cant find a path to your destination it will try the wi-fi connection if available.


you can set this under

>System Preferences>Network / set service order (under the gear icon)
