I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) and would like to connect to a private network through WiFi for development work, but still have access to the general Internet through the 3G/4G cellular radio for other apps. So far, it does not seem possible. Connecting to WiFi seems to route all data through WiFi to the private network, cutting off the Internet. Is there a way to have both radios working and routing packets separately on this Galaxy Note, or any other Android device, short of customizing the network stack software?

    Yes, thanks, this is probably what I want. I need to set up the route tables to have different gateways for each network device (like I have done with traditional Linux systems before).

    The GUI user-level settings app in Android does not let you do this, but it seems that if I install and use the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) I can use a PC to open a shell and issue the route table change commands... hopefully without rooting and can be made permanent through a startup script or something.
