Here's a question for the MacOS experts.
Hardwired Brandon's iMac. To have it use this, I disabled WiFi and his access to the NAS works better.
With WiFi disabled though, he can't use AirDrop.
If WiFi is enabled, how does MacOS decide what network interface to use? They are both on the same subnet.
How do I force it to always use wired unless it's unavailable?
Forgetting the WiFi SSID will remove it from his iCloud, so that won't work.
I don't trust MacOS to do the right thing TBQH
