Windows 10: Manually configure one wireless network and leave the rest on auto

Image
1 My primary network connection for a Windows 10 box is a wireless connection to an Android phone. Unfortunately, the phone's wireless tethering is buggy, and often the DHCP lease is incorrect, causing me to be unable to open any new network connections. The specific issue is that the phone doesn't hand out a gateway. My proposed solution to this is to configure the network manually, avoiding DHCP altogether, as every attempt to flash a new ROM on the phone has failed. Which brings me to my question: How can I set manual IP settings for just one wireless network? By setting the IPv4 settings on the network adapter, it appears that it applies to all wireless APs, and not just the one I want to configure. windows-10 wireless-networking
