Solved Driver Complete Removal Help!

[Verenios]

I have a TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter directly in my motherboard and i needed to update its drivers to the latest as i was experiencing BSOD's and had to update it in case this was a cause, Anyways Windows kept saying it was up to date and the sate it had in options was 2009 and the latest was 2010 so i removed it from my PC and reinstalled the new driver and now it says 2010 at last but now the problem is it used to be called (TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter) but now its called (TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter #4) is there anyway i can make it back to (TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter) again? Sorry i am a little OCD when it comes to this stuff and like my computer in order and neatly done haha, Thank you in advance.

Is this name change in device manager list or network connections?
for now you can go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections /right click the properties there you can change the name if the controller

 

[Verenios]

Ah yes this is within the device manager, Under Networks as a Adapter not connection name.

I have placed down a example image for you to explain it easier.

Bump.

No one can help with this?

Did you try ripbox's suggesting of renaming the adapter in the Network & Sharing Center?

 

[Verenios]

Yes but that only renames the the network connection i am currently connected to not change the drivers name as i have shown this is in the device manager in network and sharing center the connection name is named the same name as my routers SSID.

The only other thing i can think of right now is in device managed right click properties uninstall device making sure to check the box that says to uninstall drivers....
Reboot or scan for new hardware then manually reinstall the driver using the have disc option threw device manager
By doing this it should set the driver device count back to device #0 which in turn should be displayed as the device name without and # + Number

If your TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter #4 is working properly the changing of the name is irrelevant.
