I think he might be talking about the 'world' icon, which I see when the router is disconnected.

...edit - too late!

Yes I am.

My icon went back to the "pizza" icon. Crazy.

That's how you know it's time to order pizza.

Might want to have your ISP check their router... if it's one of theirs. It could be... starting to die.

Confirms my experience: the cable was/is on the left in W10; on the right in W11. Simple as that, I think.

Most likely.

Dan,

It's on the left in my Win11 as shown in post #5.

Windows 11 is the only OS that has ever been on this computer.

So something I have done on mine must be responsible.
I'll just accept that since there is no operating problem.

All the best,
Denis

Denis, the sidebar says you're still on 22H2 and you're running Home. Maybe one or both of those accounts for the side-switching. I just know my dear Mrs. is still on W10, and hers is on the left, as it is on my backup machine that runs W10 (just cranked it up for the first time in months to check). Both my W11's show it on the right when they're RJ-45-plugged.

Thanks for noticing.
I'm on 23H2 but have been updating only the build number [by accident]
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 Build 22631.3296

Now corrected, thanks,
Denis

But if you're using EP to give you back some of the W10 features, maybe that older icon comes with the package.

Try3 · Mar 15, 2024

Yes, it might well be EP.

Confirmed.

Maybe it's for a new Hardy Boys book... "The Network Icon Mystery".

I recall an old song from chidren's Sunday School sessions (somewhat reworked):
One screen, and only one, and yet its sides are two;
I'm on the right side, on which side are you?

I think mecanico is referring to the pizza-slice icon:

I have Ethernet-connected Desktops [to my Router] and one icon is for Win11 and the other icon for Win10. My Wireless Notebooks use the pizza-slice/audio-wave icon.

Exactly my experience.
