    network system tray icon shows not connected but I am connected


    So, this is not a major issue but kind of annoying. Recently I have noticed that the system tray icon for the wireless network always has that little red X and if I open the Network and Sharing Center it says "You are not currently connected to any networks." When I click "See Full Map" it shows a line from my PC to the Router but the line from my router to the internet has a red X.

    The thing is, I am connected to the internet. I can go online just fine. Any ideas?

    Hello Serg, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Sometimes a simple restart of the PC will sort the network icon for you.

    If not, then a quick disable and enable of the wireless network usually will toggle it back with the correct icon.

    Hope this helps, :)
