Hi @bashirahmed

Try the following and check if it resolves the problem:

Go to Device Manager → Network Adapters → right click on the WLAN network device entry (it could be either a Realtek, Qualcomm Atheros or a Broadcom card) → Properties → Advanced → scroll down the Property box and select Disable upon wired connect → Value box select Disabled → OK

To get to Device Manager in Win10/11, press the Win key and the x key (both together) and click on the Device Manager link in the menu box that opens.

Unplug the Ethernet cable, restart the laptop and check if the WiFi works when you plug in the cable.

Here's an example of what to look for.
