NIC and Wireless adapter conflict 1

I use my NIC to communicate with non-pc devices through a switch, so this section is all fixed IP. (Works fine by itself.) Wired NIC IP 192.168.1.50 - other devices in the .50 range
At the same time, I want to connect to my wireless router via USB for internet. Router 192.168.1.1 (starting address .100)
As soon as I enable the wireless, the wired gets knocked out.
(I can connect everything via the wired NIC through the router and it all works then, but I won't always be able to do this.)
Is there a way to fix this?

Yes, pick a different subnet for one network or the other.

I think the confusion is having two adapters in the same subnet.

It sounds like you could renumber the static devices to 192.168.2.50ish numbers and that that subnet does not need a gateway.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
