asked on Problems with network connection priority
i am setting up a new MS Surface Go LTE tablet for the customer with Win10 Pro installed from the factory. I am connected to Verizon with a SIM card installed, and I also have it connected via network cable to an RFID reader with a local static IP so the tablet and the reader can talk to each other--but this ethernet connection has nothing to do with the internet.
The problem is that I cannot connect to the internet via the Verizon radio unless I disconnect the network cable going to the RFID reader. So first I checked the metric settings, and set the cellular connection to 1 and the ethernet connection to 2. After a reboot that did not help. Next I saw where someone said to go to network connections > advanced > advanced settings where they said I should see something obvious such as "wifi" and "ethernet" etc.--but all I have to choose from are "microsoft windows network", "web client network", and one about remote desktop. I have "microsoft windows network" at the top now--but still no change even after a reboot.
There are a lot more details I can supply if it will help, but first I'll send this basic info in case the solution is obvious to someone here at e-e. TIA

Microsoft thinks it's their problem, but after many hours online together so far they still can't figure it out.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

Of course I can't leave it this way in production...the whole reason I got them an LTE device is because this tablet will be installed in a tractor far from the office WiFi,
