Adapters can be physical (like a modem or network card) or virtual, which means that a software program behaves like a physical adapter. The Dial-Up Adapter in the Windows Dial-Up Network is the most common example of a virtual adapter.
The adapter I use is installed and working properly, why isn't it listed in Internet Tuner?
All adapters used for online access should normally be recorded in a special list in the Windows® registry. The entries in this list show where all the settings for the adapter can be found, including its name, parameters, file locations and so on.
Unfortunately, some vendors don't follow this rule and fail to enter the information about their adapters in the standard registry list. When this is the case it is virtually impossible to locate the adapter and its individual settings automatically.
What should I do if my adapter isn't shown in Internet Tuner?
Choose the ALL AVAILABLE ADAPTERS entry in the Adapter screen, then choose the type of connection in the Optimize adapter for: field in the Automatic screen. This will optimize all parameters that are relevant for Internet connections for all adapters in your system.
The downside of this approach is that you may experience a slight degradation of performance with network-based functions, like local network access. However, modern local networks are so fast that you will probably not even notice the difference, and any performance increase for your Internet connection is much more important, relatively speaking, and well worth an almost imperceptible slowdown on your local network.
