Desktop connecting to wifi plus router possible?

Hi,

I have a desktop(A) and it's connected via LAN to a wireless router in the office for internal database storage.

There is a wireless network to the internet in my office that I hope to connect so that I can access to desktop(A) when I am outside.

I bought a D-Link Wireless AC Dual Band USB Adapter for desktop(A) but I can only access to the internet when I disable the original LAN network.

Is there anyway I can enable both simultaneously?

*PS: I google about this and I saw an article suggesting to change the IPV4 Metric Interface to different number for both network. I tried setting 10 for the LAN network and 25 for the USB adaptor but still cannot work.

Not very good in networking so let me know if there's anything I have not explained in detail. Thanks for the help/advice in advance.

if I understand what you're saying then the answer is "no" because you can only have one NIC, wireless, cable, etc connecting to another network.

Let me know if I need to clarify or if I'm off track regarding what you're looking for.

Thanks for the replies.

I am not confident in changing the settings myself hence attached my route settings and seek advice on how to change.

Thanks for all the help.
In the end I just used Create Bridge function in Windows to make it work.
