Hi , i'm using the ASUS TUF F15LU laptop and i'm often getting some warrning in the event viewer which says things like .. Event 6062, Netwtw10. 6062 - LSO was triggered. And i just noticed that i have two network adapters for some reason ...

Should i delete/disable the Realtek one ? i dont know ...is this causing a problem or ? i dont know

Are both network adapters (wired and wireless) enabled at the same time?

Only one network adapter, be it wired or wireless, should be enabled as required for network connectivity.

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt and post the results here.

You should be able to copy and paste the results with no need to retyped it all.

It is common to have 2 adapters in a machine at the device level. It will show this even if you do not for example have a ethernet cable plugged in.

In some cases both the wifi and ethernet will actually be active but in those cases windows will use the ethernet and ignore the wifi....you can change this behavior.

Do you have a actual problem.

If I remember correctly this is a option called large send offload. This is a advanced setting on the physical adapter. In general you would want this feature on. I forget exactly why. You could turn it off and see if makes any difference.

Wifi is always subject to random interference. If you played some of the shooter type games you might have more issues. Wifi gets random delays because of both interference from devices inside your house as well as your neighbors devices. This make playing some game unusable on wifi.

Hard to say if it mostly works it likely is not worth the effort to try to change stuff. The fairly standard solution to playing games on wifi though is to try to find a way not to use wifi. Things like MoCA and powerline networks might be a option.
