    Wifi - Connected fine but display says no signal


    Hi guys,

    I'm having bit of an odd problem - i've recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate and for the most part finding it a great upgrade.

    I've recently noticed that while i am connected and have internet access - with seemingly no issues, Windows is reporting No Signal, in the bottom right the strength indicator bars are gray. (i dont think it was like this when i first installed).

    I downloaded a wifi signal strength desktop gadget and that reports 0%.

    Is this some sort of bug or should i be worried?

    I seem to have a pretty stable connection according to pingtest.net - gets a grade A, ping average 20 ish and jitter around 5...

    It's just kind of annoying me a little :)

    Cheers
    Paul

    Not to worry. I have it all the time especially on public wifi. Has zero effect besides annoying us.
