So do you observe your reported behaviour regardless if ethernet is attached or only if ethernet has not been attached?ĭid you ask a search engine to look into HP forum and into this Spiceworks forum? Should give you some hints like this topic (How to disable LAN/WLAN switching Windows 10 HP) a few months ago here in this community.Ĭheck on the computer for HP software called something to effect of "HP Velocity" or anything like "QoS". Have a look if those are installed on your EliteBook and how they're configured.
My Windows driver list reports candidate tools like HP LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching and Hotkey Service and HP Wireless Button Driver. If you've configured WLAN to be enabled automatically in Windows, then removing ethernet cable should activate WLAN and the automatic Windows configuration should then establish WLAN connection.
If it is this HP tool, then it should automatically disable WLAN as soon as ethernet is working. Still works as expected with Windows 10 1909. Don't remember, if it was a component of HP Sure Run or Click or a separate tool. It was one of the HP tools which provides such a policy option. I've the similar behaviour which I configured long ago. Don't have EliteBooks but ProBooks instead which don't have such a configuration option in their firmware.

Another member (computer commando i believe) made reference some time back to changing the computer wireless connection type from static to dynamic as a possible way to solve this type of problem. In certain instances that can be a reason why a wireless card cannot reconnect to a modem. If modems are turned off they generally change IP addresses when re-powered. If you have not tried it(assume a DSL service) you can briefly remove power to your DSL modem/router and (a minute or two should be enough) then see if the computer finds the modem IP. I assume you have talked to them re this problem. Do you have the opportunity to take it to another location and use another service provider? If no problems arise as none do other than your own one at it's current location then it would seem as you suggest that this problem is only happening with your primary provider.
While it is not a portable computer as in a laptop it's certainly quite capable of being transportable due to it's configuration.
