White X on Wi-Fi

Otherwise:

 

White x beside wifi network!

Hi Karl,

The white x on top of Wireless symbol might mean that, there is a password change or some setting change to the wireless network.

To resolve this white x mark, follow the below steps to "Forget the network" and re-connect to the wireless network.

1. Select the wireless network icon > Wireless & Network settings

2. From the list in the left, select "Wi-Fi"

3. Select "Manage known networks"

4. Search and select the network that is causing issue > Select "Forget"

5. Now, select the wireless icon again and re-connect to the network.

Note: After Step 4, you won't find the x mark on top of the specific wireless network.

Voilaa
