Duplicated connection name in "All connections" menu

Duplicated connection name in "All connections" menu   08 February 2026, 21:42

While changing some settings, I have discovered that I have now three connection types in the "All connections" menu (under Main-Settings), when I only had two previously (Ethernet 2 and WiFi). I am using NetWorx in "monitor a network adapter" mode.

It seems that after a change in the Ethernet adapter controller (not sure about that), a new connection has appeared with the same name than the previous one (Ethernet 2), but I cannot delete it. Is it possible to remove the not used one? The delete option is greyed out, and I can only change its name.

Regards.

It sounds like due to some changes in your system, the adapter's ID has changed while the name remained the same. Unfortunately, the delete function only works for externally added adapters (such as SNMP/UPnP monitoring targets), so the duplicate can't be removed directly.

However, you can simply tick one of the Ethernet 2 entries and untick the other to monitor only the active one. Alternatively, if you primarily use WiFi, you could just leave WiFi ticked and untick both Ethernet 2 entries.
