    Connected via WiFi but only ethernet network icon shows in Tray


    Here's a strange one. I am connected via Wifi, everything works fine, fast, stable. But I just noticed the icon showing in my Tray area is the wired ethernet icon. (No RJ45 cable connected, no docking station).

    Is this a bug or a feature?

    If you're using Hyper-V, then it will show the Ethernet icon even though you're using Wireless, because*Hyper-V doesn't technically support wireless, and creates a*bridge network to bridge the wireless and Ethernet.
