Yesterday when I was starting up the computer, I think the plug was loose or something and during the middle of starting up the computer just went off by itself. After turning it on again and logging in, I found that the wireless icon was gone (the one that looks like a radar with green bars indicating signal strength) in the system tray. I've tried the following already but nothing works:
- Disable/re-enable wireless in device manager
- Restart the computer
- Enable icon display in network connections -> wireless network properties
Windows is able to detect the wireless networks properly, however the signal strength is "low" (which is not normal as I usually have good or excellent signal strength), and browser occasionally freezes/hiccups in connection. Also if I try to access Intel PROWireless utility, nothing happens when I click it in program files, so something's definitely wrong with the wireless.

Does anyone know how to get that icon back? Thanks.
