No Internet Connection message display on driver version 15.6.1

[idata]

Hardware: Dell Latitude E6420

Wireless Card: Intel Advanced-N 6250 AGN

OS: Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (also 64-bit)

Upon installing the newest version of ProSet, the native WiFi icon and the ProSet icon both have a yellow bang when connected to WPA2/PSK Cisco AP. Hovering on the native icon reveals a message of "no internet access", opening the Intel ProSet connection utility shows "Internet Access : No"

Here's the kicker, I have perfect signal and working internet access. So why does it show the message?

Thankyou Frederic-MUC for this solution. It has worked for us as well.

I really believe Intel needs to get ahead of this problem with their ProSet Wireless drivers. Our shop has seen this bug where the network connection states 'No internet access' and displays the yellow exclamation mark over the connection icon in the system tray. This has happened on Lenovo T530, Dell E6230, 6530 laptops.

Anytime these laptops have had the Intel ProSet Wireless drivers ver. 15.6.1 or newer installed they are permanently broken. This was the first solution I've seen that actually works.

The combination seems to be Intel ProSet Wireless Driver 15.6.1 or newer and the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 wireless device.

Had the same problem with a Dell 17r 7720se, Intel Centrino N-2230 wifi card with 15.9.2.1 driver. The false no connection exclamation point displayed on wifi icon in task bar. I too had a working wifi connection showing in internet connections but the exclamation point would remain until IE was opened.

Frederic_MUC's solution worked. But I have 3 boxes: Unchecked all three - "Enable Intel WiFi HotSpot Assistant" and "Automatically connect to free wifi hotspots" and "Automatically connect to paid (subscription) wifi hotspots" in Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools /Intel Wifi Hotspot Assistant /settings. I did not uninstall anything. Just rebooted and the nasty little exclamation point icon disappears in 2 seconds after startup when wifi connects.

I tried Fredric_MUC's fix and now I am getting "No Supported WiFi adapters available in the system".

Reverted to a restore point from last week and everything is working.
