Hi there!
Depend on the brand of laptops, the position of wireless button is located in different places. Most of the cases, it stays in the front or in the left side of your laptop. It will have the sign or word written to let you know which way to turn on or off the wireless adapter. There is also a wireless light to confirm that the wireless is on or off. And the Fn + Fwireless to turn the wireless adapter on or off too.
So you have : when wireless button is set to Off, whatever you do on laptop still not make the wireless working.
If wireless button is set to On, you still need to press Fn+Fwireless to turn on the wireless.

I don't know you understand or not because it quite messy explaination. I don't know why all laptops have to have 2 places to turn on and off wireless adapter. One place is enough.
Hope this will help.Thanks for reading

You can use the wireless button or HP Connection Manager (select models only) to turn on and turn

off wireless devices.

NOTE: A computer may have a wireless button, a wireless switch, or a wireless key on the

keyboard. The term wireless button is used throughout this guide to refer to all types of wireless

controls. Refer to the Getting Started guide for information on identifying the location of the wireless

button on your computer.

To turn off wireless devices using HP Connection Manager:

? Right-click the HP Connection Manager icon in the notification area, at the far right of the

taskbar, and then click the power button next to the desired device.

- or -

Select Start > All Programs > HP > HP Connection Manager, and then click the power button
next to the desired device.

Not knowing the model of your unit, I respond with a general answer:

Using the wireless controls

You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:

?? Wireless button

?? Wireless Assistant software (select models only)

?? HP Connection Manager software (select models only)

?? Operating system controls

Using the wireless button

The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and two wireless lights. All of the

wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light is on (blue) when

you turn on the computer.

The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of individual

devices. If the wireless light is blue, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light is amber, all

wireless devices are off.

Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to turn on or

turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices can be controlled through
Wireless Assistant software (select models only) or through Computer Setup.

There is a wireless button on your Laptop to turn the wireless adapter ON.

The wireless button the indicator light to the left of the power button.
When the Wireless is switches ON on your Laptop the indicator will turn blue.

I had this problem too. You need the HP Wireless Assistant. Download it here- ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36501-37000/sp36770.exe

Once installed, open the HP Wireless Assistant and click Properties button. Check the box next to "Independent controls for installed wireless devices." Then click "Turn All On" button. On next boot it will be enabled!

on some compaq laptops the wireless switch is on the side of the laptop! look for a button! also some laptops have a wireless symbol on one of the f keys if you find the symbol on the f keys then you click on the fn and the f key with the wireless symbol at the same time!! that should work!

Without any wireless networks available, using your computer wirelessly is most pointless. If you want to set up a wireless access point in your home you need a wireless router, connected to Internet.

Hi

There is a wireless button to turn on and off the wireless on your laptop.


If this button does not work, make sure you have installed the wireless drivers to the computer and the related utilities like lauch manager.

You can get the wireless drivers and the utilities, I recommend you install all the utilities. From this acer page: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_5720.html

By now you should be able to get the wireless to turn on, in vista to connect to a wireless network with wireless turned on:

PRESS START -> CONNECT TO ->

If you need further assistance, let me know.
Thanks,

Some laptops have a switch in front next to the wireless light or on the side.

Some laptops use an F key (my toshiba is F8) so to turn on the wireless I would have to turn the switch on in front and then "toggle" the Wireless on by pressing the FN and the F8 keys.
