Windows 10: 2 Wifi adaptors and connecting which one is confusing

Hi, I have an HP Laptop 15-bs0xx.
I have 2 Wifi Adapters. One onboard Realtek Wifi and another external USB Dlink Wifi.
Below are screenshots.
You can see both wifi connections in drop down.[Wifi and Wifi2]
When I click on Wifi --> Properties a Window opens which shows me this is Dlink Wifi adaptor screenshot (the first connection which is wifi in image)




When I click on Wifi2 --> Properties a Window opens which shows this is Realtek Wifi Adaptor screenshot.

(the second connection named as Wifi2 in right hand side of image)





This gives an impression that Wifi2---Realtek

and Wifi---DLink


But when I view things from Settings-->Network and Internet--->Wifi -->Hardware Properties




Then I have a totally different view



Wifi-->Realtek

Wifi2-->DLink

See both screenshots






The output of netsh wlan show interfaces is confusing is following




So from Output of netsh and System-->Network and Internet-->Hardware Properties

I infer the connection

Wifi-->Realtek

Wifi2->DLink


but when I click on bottorm right hand corner for network profiles view




Then Wifi2-->Realtek

and Wifi-->Dlink this is very confusing as to when I am using Dlink Wifi adaptor and when I am using Realtek adaptor.

Why are they coming different in different views?

I am on Windows 10.

why are the views coming in different in different applications of Windows 10?
Why windows is some times telling that
Wifi-->Dlink and in some other tabs it is telling Wifi-->Realtek similarly it tells Wifi2-->link and Wifi2-->Realtek.
Why is it coming this way and when I can connect with Dlink USB wifi adaptor and when can I connect with Realtek adaptor.
All these screenshots were taken with both Wifi adaptors present in system.

Windows 10 - WIFI 2 - Cant connect

Hi
Myamara,

It is possible that your drivers are outdated or the connection itself has the issue. We suggest that you perform
these methods of troubleshooting
and check if there are any changes:

Method 1: Reset TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  this command:
  
  • 
    netsh int ip reset
    and hit
    Enter.
    

Exit
Command Prompt
and
monitor your WiFi connection.

Method 2: Disable auto turn-off of WiFi device.

Go to
Network and Sharing Center. At the
right pane, click
Change adapter settings.
Right-click
on your
connection name(WiFi name)
and go to
Properties.Click
the
"Configure..."
button and go to
Power Management
tab.Uncheck/disable
the
radio button
for
"Allow this device to turn off this device to save power". And then,
Restart the PC(Important).

Method 3: Reconfigure TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  these following commands:
  
  • 
    netsh int tcp set heuristics
    disabled
    
  • 
    netsh int tcp
    set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Update us on how it goes.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

1. What exactly happens if you connect "wifi adaptor netgear wna1000m -n150-usb micro adaptor" ?

You can update drivers and check if that helps.

• Press “Windows + X” and select
  Device manger.
• Expand the driver icon.
• Right click on the driver icon
  and click on Update.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to update the driver.

if issue persist, You may go ahead and uninstall the drivers for NetGear wireless adaptor from device manager, and reinstall the drivers.

1. Click start, type device manager in search box.

2. Go to device manager.

3. Click on network adaptor, right click on netgear wireless adaptor, and uninstall.


Please go to the manufacturers website, and download the latest drivers. If no drivers for win 10 install the available drivers in compatibility mode.

1.Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.

2. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select Windows 10 operating system from the drop down.
