If I am not mistaken, you can set this in the GUI using data sense (win 10 1809) or &quot;data usage&quot; on prior versions. Just enter those terms into your start menu and see what comes up. Cannot test it here right now as this is a machine that has only LAN, but I am sure I have used it on other machines and it should even pick WLAN over cellular automatically.

You should check with Dell Support. &nbsp;All my devices and all client devices will pick Wi-Fi over cellular. Even my computer here where I have a USB Internet key, I must disable Wi-Fi first before the USB stick will take over.

McKnife - we will try this today. &nbsp;John - They were less than helpful and essentially told us that we were imagining the behavior even with the testing results at hand.

Perhaps look at the Wi-Fi Network Connection properties, Advanced, and set the Wi-Fi Metric to a lower number (more preferred). I don't like doing that but in your case it may help.

We are working with Dell support - so far with no luck. Thanks for the input!! Unfortunately, this one is simply not going to be an easy fix!

I asked you to contact Dell Support and you did. And they cannot fix it. <br />
<br />
So this question should be deleted because it does not have any value here.

What's that good for, Melissa?

We are still working with Dell. They can confirm the problem and reproduce it but have yet to come up with a solution. I will share it when/if they do. Thanks again for the suggestions!

Don't select solutions unless the question is solved. Now you need to reopen it. There is a &quot;request attention&quot; button that will let you do that.

We have some Dell rugged tablets with on board verizon cellular data. We want the tablets to prefer wi-fi over cellular data and, according to Microsoft, this happens as a default behavior. In our testing this is not the case. I know how to use netsh to configure priority for wlan or mba... but I am not seeing a way to configure wi-fi over mba. Do one of you have a solution to forcing a network preference for wi-fi over cellular?<br />

Thanks!!

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Since 1984, Dell has been delivering technology to fit your life.
Dell is in Enterprise, Home Office and Consumer sectors of the market, supplying a broad range of customizable desktops, laptops, notebooks, servers, storage, and network devices.

A tablet computer is a mobile computer with a touchscreen display, circuitry, and battery in a single device. Tablets come equipped with sensors, including cameras, a microphone, and an accelerometer, and the touchscreen display uses the recognition of finger or stylus gestures replacing the usage of the mouse and keyboard. They usually feature on-screen, pop-up virtual keyboards for typing. Tablets may include physical buttons for basic features such as speaker volume and power, and ports for network communications and battery charging. Tablets are typically larger than smartphones or personal digital assistants.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
