Hi People,
I used to use a USB modem to access the NET and this showed a "Monitor" icon in the bottom r/h corner of my desktop. If I right clicked on that I was able to see how fast my connection was (whether that was a true figure is debatable). However, since installing a Siemens SE587 wireless router some while ago I have no "Monitor" icon. I just wondered if there was a way for me to show/check speed like I could before.


THANK you.

Thanks for your help will give it a try.

Graham.If you want to check the speed once a while then you could use the free online service from the following site as well.

Right click on the TASKBAR, click Properties, Notification Area (tab), and Customize.

Here you can change which icons it shows.Thanks to everyone for their help,
I used Broni's suggestion. Job done .
