I have the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04. I have to restart nm-applet each time after resume on suspend.

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.
