Wireless Networking - Wireless Network Connection Status window

04-24-2007, 03:35 PM

I recently changed Linksys network adapters from a PCI card adapter to a USB
adapter on my Windows XP computer. Before the change, the Wireless Network
Connection Status window that appears when I double click the connection
status icon would display the sent and receive activity in bytes. Now the
activity is displayed as packets.

Is there a way to change the display back to bytes?

Hi
I think it depends on the way the Card's drivers are designed, and it can
not be changes.
There are a lot of small utilities that can add to the Network and would
show traffic in Bytes (example),
