Wi-Fi Signal Strength Icon Not Showing - But Have Connectivity

Hi there, Just got the iPad mini and within two weeks same issue arose. So I called - they said to do a hard reset (hold select and power button until silver apple appears) and let the thing reboot. The icon returned after that in IOS 6. Don't know if someone already gave this answer, just didn't want to read through all the posts since last February!

My phone have the same problem but lately I restarted it and now it work already.

Just Restart 🙂

Thanks. Works for me.

A hard reboot fixed mine....

First double tap your home button and tap and hold an icon until it wiggles. Then close each app by pressing the - sign (NOTE IF YOU SEE THE X SIGN, YOU DID IT WRONG. DO NOT PRESS THE X IT WILL DELETE YOU APP AND ITS DATA!!!!!)

Ok now the hard reboot...

Hold the power and home buttons down at the same time until the Apple logo appears. The screen will go black first but keep holding....

Hope this helps.

My ipad has had this problem since yesterday evening, moments before it was working perfectly and after turning it off and back on again after experiencing some trouble with connecting to the internet I found that the wifi signal strength icon had gone and despite it seeming to pick up my netgear, the tick doesnt appear next to the chosen access point and I cant access internet. I have tried everyone's suggestions at least three or four times and the hard reboot too many times to count yet nothing seems to work...anymore suggestions?

Did you try resetting your network settings?

The hard reboot worked!!! Thank you!!! I did not want to have to reenter every wi-fi password.

It worked for me as well on my iPad mini. Thanks for the help!

I'm using iOS 6.1.3 on an iPad3. The hard boot fixed it. Thanks for the tip!

I just had this happening. Wifi connection working well but no signal strength icon (or network activity star) on my iPad Retina bought recently and running 6.1.3.

Restarting did nothing.

Turning on Airplane Mode, then turning on Wifi then turning Airplane Mode off again did the trick.

Whatever it is, it has to be a ridiculous bug. I can't believe they can get away with these problems on such expensive products.

THis happened to me today. My solution was simple. I just turned off my iPad 4, then turned it on again. The wifi icon was back.

TThanks to you, all I had to do was restart my iPhone and the wifi symbol reappeared.

Thanks! This worked on an iPhone 6.

the best way to fix it is if you go to setting>General>Reset>reset network setting 🙂 hope that works for you
