Wireless network - System Tray icon wrong
Hi,
I have a Netgear WN111 USB wireless adaptor on my PC (802.11n NIC).
It works fine with my WiFi network, but it always displays the wrong icon in the System Tray when connected. It shows the signal bars greyed out, with a yellow star on top.
I have tried a Windows update on the driver, but Windows (7 ultimate) says it's using the latest driver.
Netgear only have a Vista driver for this NIC, tried this to no avail, same problem.
I have no other NICs enabled on the box (wired Ethernet port disabled in BIOS and nothing in Device Manager).
I have googled this issue and I'm not alone (and it's not just Netgear NICs affected). However all the solutions say remove & re-install the device. Done this, and it's made no difference.
Anyone got any other ideas?
Thanks & regards,
