About this tag
WAN Miniport devices are virtual network adapters used by Windows for VPN and dial-up connections. Common types include IKEv2, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, and Network Monitor. Users often encounter driver errors (Code 31) or devices showing as not working in Device Manager. These issues can persist even after driver updates or disabling the device. WAN Miniport is not a physical port for connecting an ADSL modem; it is a software component. Problems with VPN connections may involve WAN Miniport protocols failing during authentication. Troubleshooting typically involves reinstalling drivers, resetting network components, or updating Windows.
