My laptop keeps "looking for network" when it's already connected

My laptop is connected to the internet, in fact I'm typing on it right now. But at the same time the wifi status bar keeps switching between "Looking for network" and "On" every other second. How can I resolve this?


I had this problem before, but after a quick restart it's resolved. This time the problem persisted after restarting.

There's nothing wrong. When you click on the WiFi menu item the OS thinks you are doing so because you want to switch networks - so it checks to see what's available.
