I never tried to transfer data over the two and compare speeds though, as you suggest.Īt the moment I'm on the desktop, so I just now turned back on WiFi to check how it appears, and if you go to the Network & Sharing Center dialogue box, once connected you will see BOTH networks connected simultaneously, sort of proving you are connected via each. After that I was able to turn off the WiFi and I generally keep it off even with file sharing. In order to get it to work I turned on the WiFi to the desktop as well and connected all machines to the same WiFi network, after which I was able to add each computer to each other's safe settings and join the common network. A LAN that includes both wired and wireless devices is sometimes called a mixed network.

If you have a wireless router that also has Ethernet ports, you can use wired and wireless devices together. The reason I did it was different though, I couldn't get W10 to initiate file and printer sharing between my Ethernet-wired desktop computer in my office and my 3 remote laptops in the house that are all WiFi served. Can you use Ethernet cable and WiFi at the same time. if the router is also plugged into a fibre modem to the internet, both the phone and the desktop can make use of the same internet connection at the same time. Yes, it does connect to both networks at once, at least on the RVE10 which is what I am using. By default something like a phone on WiFi and a desktop on a Ethernet cable - both connected to the same router means they can both see one another as well as share the same connections that router has. OK so by chance I had to be connected in the fashion that you suggested in your OP.
