Windows Vista Connection speed

1492 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  jcgriff2
Hello all,

I have a very simple question. With Windows XP and Windows 2000, I am able to mouse over the small connection icon in the system tray, and a little box pops up telling me, the network that I'm connected to, the signal strength, and the connection speed. With Windows Vista, I get everything but the connection speed, which I find particularly annoying, especially when I'm working with wireless devices, and trying to see if they are indeed connecting at the correct speed. Why does Microsoft continually remove useful functions replacing them with annoying nonsense? How do I find out the connection speed, or has that become a guarded secret for Windows Vista and above.

Thanks,
Jim.

Hi -

Left-click 1x on the network icon. A list of wifi signals should appear. RIGHT-click on your network, select "status"
