icon on computer

This norning I noticed a different icon indicating network status.  Up until now, I had 4 green bars, showing signal strength.  Now I have what looks like a monitor with a 3-pronged fork at the upper left corner of the monitor icon.  What does this mean?  My internet access is working fine.  Thanks.

Re: icon on computer

Well before I suggest you for any troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few questions? Like – let me know which Window you are running on the computer? Is that a wireless Laptop or a Desktop? What is the make of the computer?

 

Well, you can just right click over the Icon and you will get the information of the Icon status…

Re: icon on computer

I have a Gateway, running windows 7.  My router is a Cisco Valet.  The new icon disappeared and the regular one with the standard bar indicator returned.  I never did figure out what the other icon meant.

 

Thanks for helping
