I'm connected to a wireless network, yet in the taskbar the icon is showing that I'm connected to a wired network. Why is that? There is no network cable connected to the laptop, and it says "Limited" below the name of my network.
Lenovo IdeaPad U410
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
(Recently installed Oracle VM VirtualBox and a couple of VMs)

That is probably because the Wired Network Interface Card has precedence over the WiFi-adapter. Try changing the priority-order of your interface cards. See the question How to give preference over one network connection over another? how to do that.
