setting up WiFi and Wired properly

I have my Intel NUC setup so both Wifi and wired are working. I used systemd-network to configure.

my 20-wired.network file is
[Match]
Name=eno1
[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
[DHCP]
RouteMetric=10

and my 25-wireless.network file is
[Match]
Name=wlp2s0
[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
[DHCP]
RouteMetric=20

my issue is with boot time. If both the wired and wireless are available, the wait for network boot section takes about 25 seconds to boot. Since I have Openssh and NFS with network mounts to do that's not bad.

However, if wired is disconnected, it stays at wait for networking for 2 minutes or more before successfully booting with wifi working.

Any suggestions on where to look for how to make a more robust configuration?

BTW, if the system is booted with both networking interfaces working and I disconnect wired, it switches properly to wifi

Re: setting up WiFi and Wired properly

Not an installation issue. Moving to Networking.
