[SOLVED] Ethernet gives me faster transfers than WiFi, but Airdrop doesn't work with WiFi disabled. Is the best of both worlds possible? (kbin.social)

Not much to add to this question. I connect to the router with a LAN cable but need WiFi turned on so that Airdrop also works. Is it possible to have the system make the LAN connection default / priority in this case?
