> [@Benny\_Pedersen](#): > > after i have setup wifi connection it would be nice if homey self change to ethernet when availble As far as I know it works that way already since day 1. But wifi stays active, including it’s own IP, only it is not actively used when ethernet has an active connection. It’s designed like that to use wifi as a failover network connection.
