New Windows 7 64b install, WAN Miniport (IKEv2) broken

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

3 days later and in Device Manager I've found 'WAN Miniport (IKEv2)' with a yellow exclamation point by it. I haven't done anything to my computer that would of messed with it.

What's up with it?

Sounds like you need to install the driver for it.

For some reason this is the second time the driver has gone bad. Maybe my overclock isn't stable.

Your not installing windows while over clocked are you? I'd look at the asRock site see if they have updated drivers or even E mail them and ask for them.

The other machine. But for the longest they were fine. Even with it overclocked. I think something else corrupted them :hmm:

Have you tried uninstalling the NIC?

I don't think those WAN miniport devices are actual hardware devices, possibly VPN software?

I don't think it's related to any physical NIC e.g. uninstalling the NIC won't help, at-least that's what it says through device manager

Those WAN miniports are (IIRC) typically for software type network connections. So do you use PPP or VPN?

What's the port even used for?

Nope

I had a network issue like that when I clean installed win 7 x64 home premium on my laptop and I could never find the driver for it. When I installed win 8.1 x64 pro everything installed correct without issue so there's something in win 7 that isn't handling networking correctly.

What type of Wan post is on the Mother board? What network drivers are used for the board? Have you looked at THERE site for new ones?

Thanks for responding. I found the registry key, exported it, and deleted it and now it isn't in my Device Manager.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001

Realtek. Strangely enough I was using an add-on NIC card on my previous Win7 install and still the same issue occurred as this time. This time I'm using the onboard Realtek NIC
