Teams Defaults to WiFi

Question

Teams Defaults to WiFi

Neil Monkman 6

Every time I join a meeting on Microsoft Teams while I am hard wired on ethernet, It will either lose the internet connection or switch to WiFi and it freezes up and/or I get kicked from the meeting. Is there a way to ensure that, when using Teams, it stays on the ethernet connection?

Unfortunately there is no such Team setting for changing anything to do with the network.

What is your internet connection at home/work? Does it differ on different networks? Have you re-installed teams? Have your Reset your PC?

Answer 1

I have the exact same issue using the PWA on Fedora latest.

Setup:

Ethernet via USB-C docking station
WiFi on laptop
Teams PWA on Google Chrome

If both internet connections (Ethernet + WiFi) are switched on and I join a meeting, after one or two minutes the connection fails and I drop out of the meeting.

I have no other problems using the same setup in any kind of internet usage, it's just the teams meeting that fails.

I can resolve the issue by turning off one of the internet connections (only WiFi or only Ethernet)

Hi @Neil Monkman

As above said，Teams did not provide the network settings to determine which network you can use first.

So do you have the same problem in your Teams web client?

If there is no issue in Teams web client, we firstly recommend you try to clear Teams client cache file by following these article's steps:

I would just disable the wireless nic on those occasions. I don't know how feasible that is in your situation, but just a thought.
