    int index = Convert.ToInt32(mo["Index"]);
    string name = mo["NetConnectionID"] as string;
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))

        //textBox1.Text += name + Environment.NewLine;

Answer 1

You may want to filter by NetConnectionStatus == 2 .

NetConnectionStatus

• Disconnected (0)
• Connecting (1)
• Connected (2)
• Disconnecting (3)
• Hardware Not Present (4)
• Hardware Disabled (5)
• Hardware Malfunction (6)
• Media Disconnected (7)
• Authenticating (8)
• Authentication Succeeded (9)
• Authentication Failed (10)
• Invalid Address (11)
• Credentials Required (12)

A list of the available Properties and their possible values can be found in the MSDN entry for Win32_NetworkAdapter .

var mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapter");
mc.GetInstances()
    .OfType<ManagementObject>()
    .Where(mo => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(mo["NetConnectionID"] as string)) // has a ConnectionId
    .ToList()
    .ForEach(mo => Debug.WriteLine($"NetConnectionStatus = {mo["NetConnectionStatus"]} / NetConnectionID={mo["NetConnectionID"]} / Name={mo["Name"]}"));

//Result:
//  NetConnectionStatus=7 / NetConnectionID=Ethernet / Name=Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (5) I219-LM
//  NetConnectionStatus=7 / NetConnectionID=WiFi / Name=Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
//  NetConnectionStatus=7 / NetConnectionID=Bluetooth Network Connection / Name=Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
//  NetConnectionStatus=2 / NetConnectionID=VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 / Name=VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1
//  NetConnectionStatus=2 / NetConnectionID=VMware Network Adapter VMnet8 / Name=VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8
