Taking this step by step, does this output from "route print" make any
sense to you?

================================================== =========================
Interface List
13...c4 e9 84 a1 4c aa ......TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter
9...c4 e9 84 a1 4c aa ......Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter
8...0a 00 27 00 00 08 ......VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter
12...00 26 55 d9 e3 44 ......Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
11...00 ff 84 a3 fa 25 ......TAP-Windows Adapter V9
1...........................Software Loopback Interface 1
44...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
16...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #3
5...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #4
================================================== =========================

Of the 9 items in that list, I only recognize the TP-Link USB dongle, and
the RealTek Ethernet adapter. I guess the VirtualBox adapter is because I
have VirtualBox installed. And I guess the TAP adapter is because I
sometimes use OpenVPN.

The Wi-Fi direct adapter has the same MAC address as the TP-Link dongle so
it's probably inside the dongle.

But what is the "Teredo" or "ISATAP" adaptor?

Googling, both the Teredo & ISATAP things are related to IPv6 I think.

What does my "route print" tell you that you can tell me?
