Internet connection

I want to use ethernet but would like wi-fi turned on (to control my mac with my watch etc.)

If I turn wifi on, my computer uses the slower wi-fi connection. Is there a way around this. Thank you

MacBook Pro Retina

Hello billyspades and welcome to Apple Support Communities.


I see you're trying to be able to use Ethernet for your Mac connection and still use Wi-Fi with your Apple Watch. You can accomplish this by setting the service order to prefer Ethernet and still keep Wi-Fi on.
