Basic Setup 9

This connection indicator is useful in isolating a problem. For example, if you are connected to a

router, but not to the Internet, then check the router’s Internet connection.

If you right-click in the System Tray icon, you can disable the Internet notification feature by

clearing check mark on this line. If you do so, then only the IP address is shown.

Icon Colors

The icon is on the desktop and in the Windows System Tray. The System Tray resides on one end

of the taskbar in the Microsoft Windows desktop.
