The action of the HP Wireless Assistant control is independent of the wireless device power switch. It is possible for the wireless device LED to glow blue because power is being sent to the device, although the device is turned off. By default, the HP Wireless Assistant is configured to display a wireless icon, either On , or Off in the Windows system tray. However, the computer can be set to not display in the icons in the system tray.
HP recommends that the HP Wireless Assistant be configured to display the icons as follows.
Click Start , enter wireless assistant into the search field, and then select HP Wireless Assistant from the list.
If HP Wireless Assistant is not installed, either:
Click to download the latest version of HP Wireless Assistant .
Go to Verify the status of the wireless network device using Windows Mobility Center .
Verify the status of the installed wireless devices. They should all be on.
Click Properties to open the Settings window.
Select the Show Wireless Assistant icon in the notification area option, and then click Apply . The icon displays in the system tray area.
You can now monitor the network at a glance by checking the wireless power LED , the wireless LAN device icon , and the network connection icon .
