I have two PC's running Windows 10. One of them is my main computer used for browsing, gaming w/e, and the other one is basically a storage unit where I keep all big files and folders such as a movie collection of about 1.7tb and so on and so forth.
Now, both these PC's are connected to a router (both connected to the same router) via WiFi for internet connectivity, and both of them are also connected via ethernet through a desktop switch meant for transferring files (since transferring via WiFi gives about 8mbps whilst ethernet gives about 110mbps (when it's working)). However, if I set everything up so that I can (from my main computer) see the, let's just call it storage PC, in File Explorer - Network, if I try and transfer any files the transfer defaults to go through the WiFi connection via the router, no matter what I do. I've changed the network metrics to prefer the ethernet connection, I've disabled WiFi (when I do this I can't even see the storage PC in File Explorer - Network. And IF it shows up, I cant access it anyway, not even by pinging or by IP), I've tried just about everything.
The only time it actually uses the ethernet adapter for transfers though, is if I, on the main PC, bridge the WiFi and ethernet adapter. However, this screws up the internet connectivity on the main PC.
I've searched for many, many hours online for a solution, only to come up empty handed. I beg of you, the community, HELP. Just... Anything. Any pointers to where to start looking or new ideas is greatly appreciated.
