Wireless Capability

[Santa_Clause]

On my laptop, I accidently turned off wireless capability...which means I can't connect to the internet until I turn it back on. It tells me it's either a switch on the front or side of computer, or a function combination key. I've tried Function and F2 together, and the rest of the F-keys, but it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

xDDD;
Control Panel?

Or look around teh laptop for a wireless looking thing

Yeah. My laptop has a wireless switch also, its like right on the front. Kinda confusing when I first got it and couldn't figure out why the wireless isn't working...

[Santa_Clause]

I'm 100% sure there's no switch...

[Negaal]

You got a Fn key? On my mom lap i need to press Fn + F2...

What kinda laptop?Toshiba pro. THere is a switch on front left kidna underneath. And then you also need to use F keys to turn it on after that

My suggestion is to make sure you post all relative information when asking for assistance...make and model of the computer would help alot...Also, maybe posting in the right forums ;)

Its normally at the front... You can check if there's anything wrong with the network adapter (if you are using one) or may be the wireless router might be encountering problems (try reseting it). You can also try and go to network connections and if its the problem with the setting in the computer(which it probably isn't) then it will show the connection as inactive... Try enabling it (this is least likely to happen... try it anyway!).

Thanks

Try going to the network connections and right clicking on the wireless connection and then click enable and/or post some pictures of your laptop, or links to pictures, that way we can see if we can find the switch.

I couldn't even find an appropriate place to post it...why would it be in SRL FAQ if it's got nothing to do with SRL?

It's an MSI Megabook GX7300...

How exactly did you turn off your wireless? And what is the "It" you are talking about?

I turned it off by pressing the button next to the power button...I just realised that today and I figured it out, thanks guys.
