    Default Confirm Internet Speed From Task bar

    I'm functioning Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my desktop computer and in my task tray I get an icon that shows I'm associated to my Linksys. When I place my cursor over it it states which connection the computer is connected to.hardwired not wireless.

    When I had Windows XP the icon would also indicate the connection speed but for much reason Windows 7 does not indicate the speed of the connection while I put my pointer over the icon...

    If I had a wireless connection it would be dissimilar but this one is hardwired and I require to assure now and so to confirm my spends.

    I have a cabled. not a wireless and my hyperlink indicates local area connection not wireless, if I had a wireless connection it may work. For several unknown reason in windows 7 the selection to position a assure mark in the system notification area of the LAN settings was removed for newer OS'.

    the speed pop-up from the previous Windows XP may not be there, but I detected a nifty application which is fairly close to what you require the Network Activity signalling for Windows 7.
