Fix: Multi Control app while connected to both wired and wireless network

Hi,

Multi Control is great, allowing me to use my smartphone (S25) while using the PC.

However, when docked at work, I use a wired network (Gigabit Ethernet). We also have a wireless network for guests that I can use (but limited in speed).

If I connect both my smartphone and PC to the wireless network, Multi Control works. If, after that, I connect my PC to the wired network, it still works.

HOWEVER, if I connect my PC to the wired network BEFORE activating Multi Control, it doesn't work even after connecting also to the wireless network.

I've noticed that Multi Control app ALWAYS wants to establish the connection using the connected network card with the lowest metric (i.e. highest priority). Of course, in Windows, wired networks have higher priority by default, so it will try to connect using a wired network (and fail), even if the PC is also connected to a wireless network.

You can overcome that by changing the network metrics, setting the Wi-Fi to a lower metric. However, this is a convoluted step for a normal user.

Please fix the app so that it will use the wireless network, even if the PC is connected to a wired network with higher priority.
