I suspect that sometimes when going through a router it does not register as
an internet connection. Ours seem to be a bit random as to whether they
show the internet connection icon too. The router is a Buffalo. (Also,
using a spare router as a wireless bridge we get two LAC icons as well.)
I'd say, just as long as you are getting your web pages, it's not worth
worrying about. You can check your speed via Internet Frog, or similar.
