Description
- Apple M1 chip native support
- bug fixes
BridgeChecker is a utility that can automatically disable/enable wireless interfaces. Whenever your computer is connected to an Ethernet port and the link state is good, the utility can automatically turns off the IEEE 802.11 wireless network interface. This conserves IP address allocation, reduces security risks, resolves dual interface routing issues, and prolongs battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Good Start, Needs Some Work
The program's setting for auto start at login refuses to work on my MacBook Pro. Had to insert it into the Login Items manually.
The program only works part of the time, but when it works, it is great.
The program does not hide itself, but rather is in the dock, menu bar, and in program switchers (Cmd-Tab). I would want it only in the menu bar.
What I've been looking for
I have a mostly wired network in my house, but when I take my laptop off my desk I like the fact that don't have to worry about turning on my airport card and then off again when I reconnect it later.
The only CON that I have for it, is the speed at which it changes over between networks interfaces. It takes about 5 to 10 seconds for the switch. Not bad.
It also took me a little bit to figure out the settings to use for me because the only tech manual on the developers web site was for the windows version only (This probably will change in the future) and didn't say anything about what the setting do. I use the "Disable Wireless if wired is connected" as it turns off my airport card when I'm connected to my wired network and then on when I disconnect from it.
Can’t turn wireless back on
At first, this seemed to be a great soultion for reducing the amount of IP’s reserved from our DHCP pool.
But then reports rolled in that users had to reboot and disable the app to use airport with Ethernet unplugged.
I’ve exchange one pain for another.
