    I have an AsusK72Jr-X5 laptop and it connects to my wireless network fine. At times I like to use the wired network connection but I don't know how to make the laptop switch to wired from wireless. I didn't see any instructions on how to do this in the manual and I thought it would be auto detected by the laptop but it does not switch to wired. Any ideas on how to get the wired connection recognized?

    That's weird, all my asus notebooks connect to both if i wire them, no idea which one they use though. Turn off your wireless adapter either with the switch (if you have one) or the wireless console and you should switch to wired. Turn it on again when you're done, it takes like 10 seconds.

    I accidently found out when you press the FN+F2 key it turns on/off the wireless and the wire turns on then. Thanks!
