The red network tray icon shows Not Connected, but I am! W7 Ultimate.
Hi all -
I have an unusual problem. One of my computers, namely a HP HPE H8-1360T running W7 Ultimate has a built-in Wireless N on the motherboard. So I decided to install a Linksys Max-Stream AC1200 USB 3.0 Adapter, Model number WUSB6400M. Installation went smoothly and disabled the on-board Wireless-N.
However, I see that the network tray icon, instead of displaying white vertical bars of signal strength, is just a red X icon. However, I can connect to the AC network without a problem at normal speeds.
Here's a picture. Note the network icon. Again, all the available networks show when I click on it and I am connected to my home network as the default. Linksys says that it should display properly, of course.
Second one from the right...
When I remove the Adapter and restore the on-board wireless-N, everything displays just fine.
I tried clearing customize Notifications to no avail.
Does anyone have a actual solution? The signal strength icon should be displayed properly.
Unfortunately, Google is not my friend in this case, lol.
TIA :)
