Hi all,
Is there some software out there that will give me a real time progress
report from the router when it is connecting to the internet?

Windows indicates that it is connecting, and has connected to the router
with the wifi icon in the tray, but there is no way to tell if the router
has connected to the ISP yet without launching a web application (like the
browser for example).

Yes I know this is easy, but I want to end the situation where my confused
user sees a connection to the router then fails to download a web page
because the router has not yet connected to the ISP.

This happens first thing when the router and the computer are powered up at
the same time.

regards
