Hi, After testing some more, restarting the networkmanager does fix the issue for me too. However, it doesn't make sense, to me, to restart the whole service to fix this issue. Restarting the applet makes more sense.... to me.
I have found a way to automatically restart nm-applet each time the machine resumes from a suspend. Disclaimer!! ((This is only a (hack/temporary-fix/work-around) as it doesn't address the cause of the issue.)) Short description of solution: I created a script that kills nm-applet at suspend|hibernate, then starts another nm-applet on resume|thaw. Then I placed it in (etc/pm/sleed.d) and named it "90_Restart_nm-applet" and made it executable. Specific steps taken: 1- Download attached script (90_Restart_nm-applet) 2- Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) 5- type in "sudo nautilus" without the quotations and enter your password. ******PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING, OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING STEPS , IN THIS FILE MANAGER WINDOW (NAUTILUS), INCLUDING DELETING, RENAMING, AND MOVING FILES. IT WILL MESS WITH THE OWNERSHIP OF AND ACCESS TO FILES********** <------ headache to track fix. 6- navigate to the downloaded script (90_Restart_nm-applet) and copy it. It is probably in your downloads folder in /Home/<your_user_name>/Downloads. 7- navigate to /etc/pm/sleep.d 8- paste (90_Restart_nm-applet) there, then right click it, and select properties. 9- go to (Permissions) tab and check (Allow executing file as program). 10- close properties menu and file manager (Nautilus) done. Someone might be able to write terminal commands to do this, I don't know how to. Now the nm-applet should restart whenever the system resumes from a suspend. Few things to note: a- I'm running UBUNTU 16.10 with a UNITY 7.5.0. Kernel... I posted my info in a precious comment... b- Because of (a), the address at which your script to be placed might be different than mine. Do some research. I found mine in an answer by (fader) here: "http://askubuntu.com/questions/92218/how-to-execute-a-command-after-resume-from-suspend"; <--- a good place to start. Please keep in mind that this doesn't fix the underlying issue, it is only a work-around. As such, it may create more issues than the one it fixes. Let me know if anymore information is needed, Basem. P.S I have a feeling that I put comment in the wrong format for this website. Let me know how to fix it, Thanks. ** Attachment added: "Kills nm-applet on suspend and starts it on resume" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+bug/1575655/+attachment/4820369/+files/90_Restart_nm-applet -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-applet in Ubuntu.

I don't mean to say that it switches between these two or that always is wrong. But sometimes my connected to wifi symbol changes to wired. Other times it will change to the no connection wifi. The info is correct on boot, but switches over time, possibly after suspension.
