rekordbox pro DJ link via USB

Hi.
I got a question regarding connectivity for my DJM-900nxs2 with 2x CDJ-3000 setup.
Today I am running 2 Network cards within my PC with separated subnet. Reason is that I got a Gigabit Network using Jumbo Frames for better performance. Jumbo frames are not compatible with rekordbox. To solve this I have the 2nd. network card using different setup for the ProDJ Link.

The downside with that is that I always have to switch WLAN on my IOS device if I want to connect to the other network.

Therefore I want to change the network architecture in the following way.
Take away the 2nd network card and have all devices (including the DJ gear within the same subnet. To bypass the Jumbo frame issue, I want to connect the PC with the DJ gear via ProDJ Link by using the USB connection. This works if I haven't connected the PC to the network. It also works when I have the DJ gear connected to the 2nd subnet but disabled the 2nd network card on the PC.

But it does not work if the PC is connected to the network with the jumbo frames. It looks like the connected network is prioritized over the UBS connection.

Could I force rekordbox to use the USB connection to connect to ProDJ Link even a network connection exists?

Quick update:
I think I solved it and maybe it will help others.

As the USB ProDJ Link connection is showing up in Windows 10 as a network connection, I was able to change the priority of the network adapter in windows giving the USB network connection the higher priority as the adapter having the jumbo frames.
ProDJ Link now works but I would need to do more testing if that is impacting the performance of the Gigabit using the jumbo frames.

If someone has a different idea, please comment. Thanks

New update:
Looks like because of the priority change, the other network traffic goes via the 'Pioneer DJ Network Adapter' (via the USB connection) and has significant less performance as it is not using the jumbo frames.
So this is not a solution for my problem....

Help welcome....

Sorry Frank, I know the likely answer from the engineers is going to be to disable the other adapter during that time.
