Network wifi icon says identifying

[purplegoop80]

Hi , I have a laptop with latest Dell wifi drivers and the wifi icon says identifying and under that connected most of the time.I have tried everything flush this ,re-install drivers ,etc. I still get internet 90 % of the time but the identify stays there. I also can get it to recognize my network . Any ideas ? Thks
I have windows 8.1 with all updates.

right click network icon (by clock) troubleshoot problems - see if that fixes the issue

you can also try resetting your router

Thks for reply , did all that. It now says unknown network -not connected ,but I am on internet.

How are you connect to the internet?? Via a Ethernet cable? another network card?

 

[purplegoop80]

wireless via router

 

[KYHI]

left click network icon - what network does it show you connect to?

If you have internet your connected somehow

 

[purplegoop80]

it says unknown

 

[KYHI]

connected??

 

[purplegoop80]

yes I don't get it either

 

[KYHI]

If it s showing as connected to unknown network via wireless

That is because of two possible things - the routers SSID is set as "unknown" or the router is not broadcasting it's SSID

the SSID is the routers 'name"

Hi
If you are still experiencing same issue. you can delete the Network Profile Manually by using Command Prompt

start Command prompt as administrator and type the following command: netsh wlan show profiles.

t will display all the wireless network profiles stored by Windows 8.1. The list can be long if you used your laptop or tablet for more than a couple of weeks.

Identify your network name and then type the following command to remove it:
netsh wlan delete profile name="profile name".


As an example, I wanted to remove a wireless network profile named bhoopendrasingh and I typed
: netsh wlan delete profile name="bhoopendrasingh".

and then try to reconnect with the wi-fi network.. it would resolve your problem

Thks for reply tried that also, I just did a fresh install , I figure either Bitdefender screwed things up or a bad dell driver or both.All is good with fresh install
