    No signal strength icon in sym tray


    Have W-7 x64 desktop computer that connects to the wireless router with a WirelessN PCIexpress adapter.
    The icon used to show in the system tray showing the signal strength. It has now disappeared and is no longer in the 'Notification Are Icons'. I am sure I did something, but cannot figure out what
    Any ideas how I can retrieve it?
    Thanks in advance

    So are you saying that it doesn't show up when you select "Show all icons" as shown here,

    Notification Area Icons - Hide or Show System Icons and Notifications

    Correct.. the signal strength icon (as it used to show up as) is no longer available in the Notification Area Icons selection list.

    In the Notifications Icon List, click on Turn system icons on or off.
    Make sure the Network icon is set to On.
