How to setup Wi-Fi as the default Internet conenction and Ethernet as private network
Solution 1
In most cases, the last accepted DHCP offer wins, which will update your route, DNS and IP address. For example, if your Ethernet gets a DHCP offer from R1 later than the Wi-Fi device from R2, the default gateway will be R1 which means you can't access the Internet. So you can try to disable the Wi-Fi device and then enable it after Ethernet gets an IP address.
Solution 2
For windows>Control panel > network and sharing >adapter settings > Right click the network you want to prioritize >properties> seelect TCP-IP4>Advanced> Click Automatic metric > Set to 1,2,3 etc to give priority :: De-prioritize other networks if required.
Solution 3
Configure the Ethernet connection with a static IP address and no gateway. Use DHCP for the wireless connection. Make sure the subnets for R1 and R2 are different.

I have some text elements in the column that have a character "|" and the rest right after it I need to get rid of:
campaign abc fdg|3234 dfr|4567
I want it to look like:
campaign abc fdg dfr
I tried:
select replace (data_2_crm.campaign, '_|_', '' ) from data_2_crm select trim (trailing '.*|' from campaign) from data_2_crm select trim (trailing '%|' from campaign) from data_2_crm
It didn't work. Please help!

shawnzhu over 10 yearsplease paste out the route information:
route -n
. Usually it's caused by default routing information which should be that from R2. is there a DHCP service in your R1? -
matrix over 10 yearsIt is safe to post complete route information publicly here?

matrix over 10 years@shawnzhu, cool. It worked. I switched off wifi (my laptop has a hardware button) and then connected Ethernet. Waited until it identified the network and showed no internet access (If you don't wait, it won't work). Then I switched on wifi. The symbol on the system tray changed to wifi and I can access internet.

matrix over 10 yearsThis didn't work out. My order (from top) is Wifi >> Ethernet >> [Remote Access Connection]. I tried by changing the position of wifi and ethernet without any luck.

Wowsk over 4 yearsThe accepted answer did not work and seems more like a work around. Setting the metric to 1 works every time for me.
