Can I use Wifi for internet, and LAN on internal network only


Hi I am currently using wifi for my internet and am quite happy with it, but unfortunately my wifi does not work with Wake On LAN.

WOL only works on my LAN card. my computer is not in a position to connect to LAN by cable, so I have it connected to my router using a wireless powerline transmitter.

While this is connected my internet speeds are very poor even though I am connected to both the LAN and Wifi networks at the same time. If I disable lan, the speed improves again, but I cannot use Wake On LAN.

Is there a way I can use my LAN only for thr internal network and use my Wifi for internet?

You can use a WiFi to Ethernet bridge.

Takes Wifi as input, Ethernet to your PC as output.
