    That's unusual as it would seem people would have more problems with it not coming on then it staying on all the time. I really don't check that light out unless my wireless thingy in the taskbar doesn't show a connection. So I don't even know if the light stays on all the time I will look at it when I get home.

    Also another question when you turn of your wireless how are you turning it off. You mean at the router or in the taskbar?

    Actually i never noticed before but my light is on whether I'm connected or not also. I always just went by what's on the taskbar.
