Windows 10: wi-fi icon

... does not appear on the task bar and nothing I do brings it up.

:)

 

Wrong wi-fi icon?

what if you try a simple disabling of the wifi network connection then enable it again and see if the icons change? It shows the Broadband connection as disabled anyways, so I cant think that would effect the icon status of the enabled wi-fi.

 

Wrong wi-fi icon?

I have my 'old' Black Panther system now connected by a wi-fi dongle.

There isn't a networking problem here, because the pc gets online with no problem.

However the bottom-right icon (near the clock) shows the symbol for not connected - 5 empty bars and a red cross over them.
Mousing over the icon it says 'network - internet access' *Confused And there is internet.

Why isn't the correct icon showing up? *Wtf :wtf:

 

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

• Launch Control Panel.
• Click "Network and Internet."
• Click "Network and Sharing Center."
• Click "Wi-Fi...."
• Click "Wireless Properties."
• Click the Security tab.
• Check "Show characters."
• Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?
