Check the function keys to see if one of them has an icon for Wifi, and check to see if there is a switch on the front or side that would turn the Wifi on.

Good luck on this.

Go to your control panel, then select device manager, slect network adapters and from her you should see you wifi adapter. It is probably gray because it is of Move the cursor over the wifi icon, right click your mouse and choose enable device. This should do the trick.

wireless capability on my acer laptop is a switch that you toggle on the front of the computer.

I suspect that you just need to slide the switch over and release to turn the light on for WiFi and also to turn the WiFi capability on.

I have an acer extensa 4630z. i cannot turn on the wireless capability. is there any alternative way on how to turn it on except for its switch. the switch doesn't work anymore. thanks.

Try this.
Go to Bios when the laptop boots (hit F2 or F8 at the startup ), and see for Wireless menu, you can modify two important settings. Make sure the wi-fi and bluetooth (if you want) are both Enabled. Then a few entries down there is a "Wireless Switch" category. Change this setting to "None." Then, go to the "Wi-Fi Catcher" category, and change that to "Off."
This will cause the laptop to completely ignore the hardware switch on the side, and force the card to stay on at all times. Now it doesn't matter if your switch is broken.
Meanwhile, if you never NEED to turn off your wireless card, you can just right click on it and disable it from within your network adapter settings.

How do you turn on wireless capability on Samsung laptop?

there may be a hardware switch on the front or side of the laptop, in most machines it's on the left side near the front. if you can't find one, look at the fn keys and see if you can find one that has a picture that looks similar to this ((0))
'
press the fn key and the corresponding f1-f12 key. if that doesn't work

press the windows key and the R key at the same time and type devmgmt.msc and press enter. click network adapters and make sure that the wireless is enabled there. if it isn't there's your problem, if there's an exclamation point or question mark there is either a problem with the device driver or the device itself.

let me know!!

The computer says that my wireless capabilities are turned off

Look on both sides and in the front of the laptop for a switch or button that controls the wireless.

If the wireless switch is turned on then maybe you hit the keystrokes that toggles the wireless On or Off.

Normally to toggle the wireless with keystrokes you have to Press and Hold the FN function key then hit the correct key (F1 thru F12) that toggles the wireless. The correct key will have the wireless icon on it and it may look something like this )))). Or it may be a tower with ))) on it.
