Unusual problem with laptop connecting to Ethernet Network connection seems unstable or broken
You're experiencing issues where your laptop switches to Wi-Fi when using the USB-C to Ethernet adapter, even though Ethernet works perfectly otherwise. The problem seems tied to network settings and connectivity preferences. You've already checked many options—rearranging priorities, disabling WiFi, adjusting device properties—but still face a "no internet access" warning. It might help to verify that your Ethernet port is properly enabled in the system settings and ensure no conflicting network profiles are active. If needed, consider resetting your network adapter or consulting Dell support for deeper diagnostics.
