The same would be with Bome Network. We would use the connection that is being used by the host and most hosts would switch from the high priority one to the low priority one but if they try to do both, that would cause the same problem.

> Regarding **Bome Network** with wired and wifi we are working in a live concert environment. If we lose a cable connection we want to have the fallback option of automatically going to wifi, but that was a problem when the wired connection was lost it would crash Bome Network, Now we have a solution for that. We need to connect fo WiFi FIRST.

This shouldn’t happen. I will do some checking here.

Are using a DHCP host? What is your network IP address when using ethernet?

It’s in ‘~/Library/Application Support/Bome/Bome Network.bmts’

Under Servername=

You can few it as a text file but I wouldn’t recommend changing it with a text editor. It should only be changed using the Bome Network Tool.

[This post](https://forum.bome.com/t/bome-software-settings-files/4172) has the settings file locations for Bome Products.

Unless the settings file was corrupt, re-installing Bome Network would no change it.
