Need help using ROUTE command please

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

I need help setting up the ROUTE command on my system please.

I am very happy with my WIFI connection. But unfortunately it does not work with WakeOnLAN. WOL will only work with my ethernet card.

My computer is not in a position to run network cable to my router so I am using a "Wireless Powerline" device. But when I do my internet speeds are very poor. Even if I am connected to my WIFI. It will only improve if I disable my LAN network.

How can I tell my computer to use my WIFI card for all traffic instead of using ethernet?

Someone has suggested the route command, but I do not know how to use the command.

Please help.

Below are the results when I enter the command:
