PopOS - I accidently added my USB wifi card twice. Help to remove one?

[LarsAxelsson]

I am a Linux rookie but I am trying to learn. I installed PopOS on a desktop but I added two different instances of my USB wifi card.
The wifi card is a TP-link Archer T4U Plus and now it looks like this at my network settings.

How do I remove one of them?

Welcome to Linux.org forums.

You should be able to open your network manager and delete one of them.

Thank you for your reply!
I cannot find any option to remove one of the units in the settings page for wifi.

 

[Brickwizard]

try under connections

 

[LarsAxelsson]

No such tab, these are the options. I cant really do much here.

 

[LarsAxelsson]

I just get a generic menu for the window:

In the first menu window post # 5 click on connected and see what options are offered.

Okay click forget connection which may or may not clear both of them and if it does then just add the wireless again.

It may also require a restart also to reinstall the wireless connection.

 

[LarsAxelsson]

It just forgets the wireless connection to the network, not the network card. So no difference besides that I have to connect again.

Pop is a nice OS IF it works without problems on your Kit, it is designed around Ubuntu, it is built by system 76 specifically for their own make of equipment so is not a standard Ubuntu build, If it doesn't play nicely with your kit you can spend hours just trying and getting nowhere, WI-FI / Graphics and Sound are the main protagonist,
if not already installed, then install inxi from the repository, and run from the terminal inxi -Nnn and copy the results back here.

I guess device 1 and 3 is the same one. How do I remove one of them? Both seem to work.

Network:

working backwards,
Device 3 is the Wi-fi [I will come back to this at the end]
device 2 is a gaming mouse wi fi dongle
device 1 is your lan card

try switching off your mouse unplugging the dongle, then see if one of the connections disappears
Archer T4U have been known to cause problems on Linux over the years albeit not often

Result after disconnecting the mouse:

did the second entry disappear from the settings

 

[LarsAxelsson]

No in settings it looks the same when the mouse is disconnected.
