[dba-Tech] Wireless

On my computer which ever connection is the fastest appears to be the
connection that assumes primary position. So if both connections are
available then the wired connection is always first.

I didn't know my new comp - a desktop - came with wireless.  Imagine my
surprise when, during the start up, it detected my network - usually I don't
connect a new machine to the internet until I've got AV and a firewall
loaded.
 
But I put cabled anyway to an open port on the router.  SO I've got two
connections - the wireless at 65 Mbps and the hard wire at 100.
 
Question is - does the OS pick the faster one?  Or how does it decide which
one to use?  And can you/need to force it to use the faster connection?
 
I'm transferring several gigabytes of stuff from old comp to new - so I'm
curious.
