How to turn on wireless communication switch - Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311 Notebook

@kblossom1280

There's two switch to turn the wireless capability of this laptop:

1. You need to turn ON the physical wireless switch located at the top of the keyboard (see image below)


2 If that doesn't turn the Wireless ON, you need to press the Fn+F8 key (the Fn key is located on the left side of the space bar).


Good luck.

Hi

have you tried to press FN+F8 again to enable the wireless switch

and or making sure that you have slid the wireless slide switch over to the right hand side to enable it it should show you a picture of what looks like a small satallite dish

When you say oyu cant turn on the wireless switch does that mean after flicking the switch usually located on the front or side of the laptop it sitll doesnt work. or have you tried holding the function key (fn) and hit the wireless symbol key on your keyboard it looks like the letter i with circles around itusually on the f8 key. by holding fn then f8 key it should turn it back on

1. There is a wireless on/off switch on the righthand side of the laptop between microphone jack and USB port. Slide this switch to the right to turn it on and to the left to turn it off. Check the Wireless communication indicator on the front side. It will start glowing orange when the wireless communication is enabled.
2. Also, Fn+F8 Key turn on/ off the wireless communication.

Hope it helps! Good Luck!

when you press these two keys , alight to indicate wirless is on or off ..

do you see a light come on anywhere on the notebook aropud keyboard or on the sides of the laptop ?

Try to go under the BIOS and check if it's turned off

go to start, control panel, wireless connections. and turn it on.

the key combo is F2 + Fn key (the fn key is located on the bottom row all the to the left) a little blue light lights up that looks like this ((o)) that lets you know it's on. press the combo again to turn of wifi communications.

I am aboutsure about the question, but what i understood is wireless switch location

First close your laptop, then look the front view where the speaker is located, From the left

1.Speakers Left and right speakers deliver stereo audio
output.

2 Power indicator Lights up when the computer is on.

3 Battery indicator Lights up when the battery is being charged
.
4 Bluetooth communication
button/indicator (for
selected models)
Press to enable/disable the Bluetooth
function. Indicates the status of Bluetooth
communication (optional).


5 Wireless communication
button/indicator
Press to enable/disable the wireless function.
Indicates the status of wireless LAN
communication (optional).


6 Line-in jack Accepts audio line-in devices (e.g., audio CD
player, stereo walkman).


7 Mic-in jack Accepts inputs from external microphones.


So your wireless switch is the 5th one from the left. Locate it and turn on the wireless, and try to connet to the router.
Try this, hope it may work,

Make sure you have the latest drivers, router and NB.

Does it connect on reboot with the SSID off?

Does it work on repair?

if so, check your energy settings, some times they power down the wireless to save energy. There are also settings on how it behaves.
