This is a slight modification of the instructions over at Lifehacker.com, but I just tested this in Windows 8 and it works!

  • Open the Control Panel (Win Key + X > Select Control Panel)
  • Click on Network and Internet and then on Network and Sharing Center
  • On the left hand side, click on Change adapter settings
  • Press Alt to open the Folder Menu, and click on Advanced and then Advanced Settings
  • Now you see the same graphic as that depicted above!  
Make sure Ethernet is above Wi-Fi, click OK, and you're done!

    Thanks for this! I spotted it while reading your 2950 noise articles. It's solved a real problem with my laptop.
