I have two Internet connections, one via LAN, and one wireless, from other
provider which is faster. How could i make that connection default for the
Internet without losing the connection to LAN.
Thanks.

Assign a metric to each network connection, giving a lower value to
the wireless one.

To assign a metric to a network connection:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the desired connection.
3. Click Properties | Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
4. Click Properties | Advanced.
5. Un-check "Automatic metric".
6. Enter a number between 1 and 9999 for the "Interface metric".
