    WiFi Network Icon with exclamation point

    When I click on the WiFi icon in the taskbar, it shows a list of available WiFi networks. Some of the networks have an exclamation point in a symbol that looks like a shield. See the picture I posted. Can anyone please tell me what the that mean?

    The question was very direct and you did not answer it. What does the exclamation point in the shield mean as shown in the image provided? The shield shown is NOT yellow. I am getting the exact same thing. It is not a yellow shield. It is a white shield
    next to my internet access.

    The white shield with an exclamation point means that security is not enabled on the network. See WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK.bSecurityEnabled.
