Route Add may solve your issue
from command line you can route any traffic based on its destination to any selected interface
below is the command syntax:
route ADD 157.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 157.55.80.1 METRIC 3 IF 2
destination^ ^mask ^gateway metric^ ^ Interface^

so simply you can route all your internal network to use your wired interface
and default route to point to your wireless interface.
