Windows 10: Local Area Connection N Incrementing

Hello,


I'm having some issues connecting to a vpn client VPN Access Manager.


When i am connected via ethernet picture Ethernet/DHP, which is hardwired into my TP Link mesh router I cannot connect to the vpn times out.


I found that when i am on WIFI, or if i enabled Private Internet Access VPN pictured Local Area Connection/ LAC it works also. I tried uninstalling somethings and now when i reinstalled Private Internet Access VPN, it is incrementing Local Area connection sub label, 2,3 and now 4. Now i cannot connect to the VPN access manager when connected to the Private Internet Access VPN. I wonder if there is some negotiation on the ethernet labeling, and i cannot get local area connection N to reset back to ... no number , or 1.


Any ideas?




:)

"Local Area Connection Connected" But I Don't Have One

Hello and thanks in advance.

When I click on the WiFi Network icon on the bottom right of my Windows 10 PC, I get a list of all WiFi networks in the surrounding area. Above the list it says "Local Area Connection" and it says that it is "Connected".

This happened a few days ago. I don't have any local area connection, I only use WiFi. I don't use Ethernet cables or anything. In fact, when I go to the Ethernet Settings on my PC, I am told that the Ethernet is Not connected but that the Local Area Connection
is Connected.

Can anyone offer any insight and/or solutions?

Thank you for reading.

 

Unknown Local Area Connection

I have an unknown local area connection showing up in my WiFi list, which shows as connected, although I'm not connected via ethernet to any source. I'm using a laptop, and this is also preventing me from connecting automatically
joining any WiFi sources. It appeared a while ago, and I'm not sure if is somehow connected to plugging my phone into my computer.
