I just bought an Intel NUC running Windows 10 and it comes with a WiFi adapter as well as a wired Ethernet port. I’m using my router to assign IP addresses based upon a device’s MAC address so they always get the same IP. I plan on using the Ethernet port, but every now and then I might move the machine to a location that doesn’t have a jack available.

I’d like to be able to use the WiFi, but still be able to use the IP address assigned to the wired port. So if I have the following:

  • Wired Ethernet 172.16.68.67
  • WiFi Adapter 172.16.68.68

I’d like to always be able to use 172.16.68.67 as long as either the Ethernet is plugged in and/or the WiFi is connected. Or even better, use 172.16.68.69 and the OS forwards traffic to 67 if it is connected, 68 if it is not.

One caveat is that I need to expose this adapter to HyperV so my virtual machines can use this adapter for connectivity.

If you are familiar with scripting, you could do this fairly easily with Powershell. Here is a guide on using the New-NetIPaddress command you would use. You could make it a startup script, and/or run it in intervals in the background. Honestly, there are many ways you could trigger it. Just script it based on your needs.
