Remote access using wrong interface/IP-this has to be the most nagged on issue

Server Version#: Version 1.32.5.7349
This issue decided to come back for me recently, and PMS absolutely is determined to use my wifi IP for remote access no matter what. I checked and windows updates have been paused, no pms software update, so i don’t believe anything has changed but 3-4 days ago, remote access is red again. If I disconnect the wifi, it reverts to the ethernet (100) which is proper. i adjusted the metrics to put wifi (181) higher in number or lower in priority (attached) and no matter what, the moment the wifi is connected, pms reverts to that. I have turned wifi off and rebooted so it wouldn’t start up that way, etc. and to no avail.

I am aware the preferred interface doesn’t effect the remote access, just showing the proper connection is available. I saw in other posts about this that “For remote access, Plex Media Server will use the highest priority route (and the interface associated with it).”

This morning I had a user unable to use Plex, so I told her sit tight and let me know if it works now. I just went over and hit disconnect from my wifi connection, and she said, yes, everything works fine now.
