To turn wireless on (or off) press the Fn and F2 keys together.
To enable (or disable) the number keypad, press the Fn and "scroll" keys together. There are pictures in the manual (link below) if you have trouble finding the special keys.

Here is the online manual for your laptop:

How to work key pad

If You mean keyboard number pad Press the "Num Lk" button, which is located to the right of the "F12" key along the top of the keyboard, to turn on the keyboard number pad. The Inspiron 1525 number pad mimics the type of the number pad you would find on a larger keyboard. The blue numbers on the keys in the middle of the keyboard are activated when you press the "Num Lk" button. For example, if you press the "U" button on the keypad, a "5" will appear on the screen when the "Num Lk" is enabled. Press the "Num Lk" button again to turn off the number pad

Number pad on wireless keyboard not working

turn on your numeric lock............can be enabled in BIOS, should be same as on corded type.... The Print Screen key does not work. Try the following:
  • The Print Screen key copies an image of the screen to the clipboard (not the printer). To use the image, start an application that uses graphics, such as Microsoft Paint, and use the Paste function.
  • If your keyboard has an F Lock key, press it to toggle between Function key modes. On some keyboards, the Print Screen key only works if F Lock is on.
Good success, meder's tv service

Wireless conection

To enable or setup the wireless on a modem router you usually have to connect the computer to the router with a lan cable first, go in to the routers settings, most routers use the web browser to access the settings but read the manual for the correct procedure. Then you put in your account details supplied by your internet service provider.
Enable wireless and apply security settings like a wep key, wpa, or wpa2 passkey. Restart the router, remove the lan cable and you're done.
When any wireless device tries to connect it will need the wep key, wpa, or wpa2 passkey to be entered to allow access.

I have not open wi fi wire less net work . But wire less net work LED is open

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, configure the router'swireless settings ie SSID, plus the WPAor WPA2 encryption key and then configure wireless cards in the laptops and orcomputers with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router.

How do i switch my acer aspire laptop 5315-2513 to wireless?

At the top of your key board right below the power button, there is a row of hotkeys the far left one is the wireless button. Press that and the wireless should be turned on.

For example, F10 is the switch for your wireless, you may press Fn + F10 and you will see a pop-up balloon saying that your wireless is now enabled.

Setting up a wireless connection between my linlsys pcmcia card and my 2 wire gatway

first insert your pcmci linksys card into the laptop, you would find a found new hard ware screen, insert the setup disk, and then follow the steps, automatically your card would be installed, once the installation is done, the wireless adapter , would detect wireless signal, try connecting to the wireless network.. if it asks for any key, look at the bottom of your 2 wire router you would find a 10 digit number, enter the number as the number as key code or password, automatically you would get connected.. if case if you have any problem , revert back ..
