On my Lenovo YOGA 300 it seems that the bug might be related with "time" or "weakening" of the WI-FI signal:
all works fine initially but then within tens of minutes the network icon and the Network itself goes OFF I can give it a shake and reset it with the Network applet and the first few times the icon reflects the resetting but then it goes on Wired or NO-WIFI even if the network is fine and signal strength OK or GOOD. The all thing deteriorates progressively since I get forced to reboot the system and the whole circle starts again ** Attachment added: "network OK but icon "GONE"" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+bug/1575655/+attachment/4812043/+files/Screenshot%20from%202017-01-25%2018-53-24.png -- 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.
