Windows 10: I am connected to internet, but icon shows not connected.

My computer shows "not connected to network" and "wi-fi symbol with asterix", however, I am indeed connected to the internet.


Furthermore, it shows a normal wi-fi connected symbol at the Windows 10 log-in page, but when I log-in, the problem above occurs.


I can use the internet with no problem with browsers, however, Windows Update and such will not work as Windows detects that "I am not connected to the network" even through I am.


I tried resetting the network, and even resetting windows with a fresh install but the problem persists.

Network connection icon problem

Hi all,
Few days ago (since I have switched to Nvidia - I don't know is there any connection between them or not) I have a problem with the network connection icon. After the OS loads in, the icon is still loading about for a minute. When I open Chrome the internet connection is perfect, only the icon shows it's loading. It wouldn't be such a problem, but certain programs (for example GPU-Z) doesn't open until the icon stops loading.
What could be the problem, and how can I solve this? I have already uninstalled / reinstalled the network driver. Nothing has changed.
Thanks,
hazazs

Internet connection speeds

I'm really curious about this, considering the amount of hoopla every major internet connection provider likes to claim about their services, and many times exaggerated just to help their own sales . . .

So, with that in mind, anyone willing to post up their download/upload connection speeds, and we can see just how much of a difference there is in the various internet connection types.

Hit up http://www.speedtest.net/, choose the location closest to your home and begin the test, afterwards, copy and paste your result here. Also, please list what type of connection you have (dial-up, cable, DSL, VDSL, FiOS, etc) - if you are running through an ethernet connection, please also list whether it's a direct connection, or your LAN/WiFi connection speeds.

So, I guess I'lll start:

Verizon standard DSL - D-Link 802.11g 54Mbps
