please follow those steps to set Networks adapters priorities:

  2. From the available adapter list right click the adapter to set in high priority (the adapter AxTraxNG should use) and select Properties: 
  3. From the Items List select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties:
  4. Under General tab Click Advanced:  
  5. Under IP Setting tab remove the Check Mark form the Automatic metric and set the Interface metric to “1”:
  6. Repeat the same process for each adapter on the Machine and increase the Interface metric by 5 for each Adapter, the 2nd set to “6” the 3rd Set to “11” and so on.
