Red X in system tray connection icon...have reset router, restarted computer...how to correct this problem
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
All you actually had to do and I know this is a late late reply but its just in the case of letting you know how easy it really was to fix this issue what you should have done was turn the internet system icon off and back on that's what fixed this issue for me....
Try this. It worked for me.
I finally removed the security from my network and the network status now shows me as connected. The red X is gone. It seems that Windows 7 does not support WPA2-PSK. I cannot imagine that is the case. Any ideas as to why, as installed on my PC, it does not have an option for WPA2-PSK? As I said, the hardware is supported and previously worked with XP.
but, this will show you as connected all the time.. this is not a problem solution this is a shape solution...
Thanks for the link!! it worked perfectly<

Amusing that the solution to win7 problems is to remove that pesky security stuff that protected you with high-grade encryption ...
Gee...I'm so glad win7 is so good about protecting our privacy -- because the high grade encryption prevented others from snooping on you... but now that that's been removed.... all is well... The lower grade security options -- still take almost 30 seconds to crack ...on a NSA computer...so I'm sure they won't record every conversation and piece of traffic (as they are now documented to do)...
