Killer Control Center: Force WiFi or Ethernet Network

Hello,
I have a MSI GT72VR 6RE-272FR Dominator Pro equipped with a Killer Wireless 1435 WiFi card and a Killer E2500 Gigabit wired card, and I can connect with both cards simultaneously.
Is it possible to force a software application to use either the WiFi or wired network (so that I can play on the LAN and download using my phone's 4G, for example)?

Thank you

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 65.0.3325.181

    Hi,
    yes, it's possible.
    by configuring static routes with the route add command

    and ... There you go!

        First, the principle
        two prerequisites:
        find the IP addresses of your two gateways, you can do this using the command route print when both connections are active.
        Then find the IP address of your game server and/or the IP address of the server from which you are downloading.
        use the nslookup command
        example nslookup www.commentcamarche.net
        then use route add to configure the route to the appropriate server via the correct gateway.
        EXAMPLE: 

        nslookup gives game server address as 192.0.2.12 and download address as 10.10.10.1
        the two gateways being 192.168.1.1 for the ethernet card and 192.168.42.1 for the 4G modem.
        Then, you add the routes:
        to route the game over ethernet:
        route add 192.0.2.12 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 METRIC 5 -p
        for the download over 4G:
        route add 10.10.10.1 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.42.1 METRIC 5 -p
        run route print again to verify.
        to delete a route: route delete ....
        to modify it route change
        for help route help

      Hello,

      I finally found the option "Killer Doubleshot Pro" in the software that didn't appear before and allows me to do this.
      Thanks anyway, this workaround will be useful for other PCs.

        I took a look at this tool, but it’s not quite the same; a priori, it’s more based on throughput than on latency. In this game, you might end up sending things over 4G that would be better off without it.
        But as long as it stays under manual control, it can be corrected.
