   Thanks for confirming that these are the two lines of interest.

   Given that interface "12" is the antenna connected to the Ethernet port,   
   and interface "13" is the dongle connected to the USB port, I'll try this   
   next to force the connection to go to Ethernet (but I'll send this first in   
   case I destroy my network ... don't laugh ... I've screwed up before).   
      
   FORCE ETHERNET ANTENNA:   
   netsh interface ipv4 set interface 12 metric=25   
   netsh interface ipv4 set interface 13 metric=50   
      
   FORCE USB ANTENNA:   
   netsh interface ipv4 set interface 12 metric=50   
   netsh interface ipv4 set interface 13 metric=25   
      
   RETURN TO AUTOMATIC:   
   netsh interface ipv4 set interface 12 metric=automatic   
   netsh interface ipv4 set interface 13 metric=automatic   
      
   Before I screw with my network, how does that sound as a plan?
