Dual network connection setup (Windows 8)

Downloading Titanfall last night I was getting .1-.2Mb/s....I decided to tether my pc to my phone since I had set it up recently. I tried this once before when I first set it up and my DSL got .9 and Verizon was hitting 1.1; last night it was at 19+Mb/s, couldn't believe it since I live in a somewhat rural area (DSL is my only hardline option) and my signal is usually low on my phone.

 

Since this discovery and the fact my Verizon plan is unlimited (grandfathered plan) I would like to set it to where when I plug in my wireless usb dongle it starts using the internet through it while I remain connected to my local network for sharing, printers, ect...right now if I don't disable my wired network adapter it seems to ignore it and use the slower dsl connection instead.

 

Is this possible and not too difficult to setup? I've searched but all the terms I'm using seem to generic and I'm not getting any relevant results...
