Auto-switching network adapters?

[Remilia]

A friend of mine has a laptop, which internal network adapter that can't pick up a good connection in certain places of his apartment. He uses a USB network adapter where the connection is weak.

 

So here's the question: Is it possible to make the laptop automatically connect to the USB network adapter when it's plugged in, and automatically connect to the internal network adapter when the USB one is plugged out?

It should do that itself.

i would have thought so, should be nearly as simple as switching from ethernet to wireless so

It is as simple as that. Plugged in picks up the connection, take it out, back to internal network adapter.

Actually no. Plugging in a USB wireless adapter into a laptop does not disable/disconnect the internal wireless card. Both will function at the same time, and you can connect them both to the same network (no speed or latency benefit though, its pointless) or to two different networks (idek)

So basically good enough for what the OP wants.

Pretty sure that OP wants to have only one connected at a time but okay..

As I said, it's not my personal problem, so I'm not entirely sure about the circumstances.

I think my friend only wants one to be connected at the same time. If both can be connected and it'll be just fine, which one's connection will be the "dominant" one? Will the laptop just use the best connection(USB adapter) or what?
