My wireless adaptor seems to have disappeared from my PC. I can't see available networks and can't see the adaptor under hardware.

• Hi, to verify the "Communication Switch" is on. Go to the "All Programs," select (Toshiba) from the menu, open the "Utilities" program and click on the Toshiba Assist. Next, click on the Toshiba Hardware icon; the next window will open with the Toshiba (HWSetup), check the "Wireless Communication Switch," to make sure its (ON). "I suggest restarting the Computer, after you have applied the changes; the Systems Configuration will be more successful that way. "Rating the solution will let me know if this was helpful to you, and that the problem has been fix!"

This model does have wireless. I had a similar problem a little while ago, I plugged the unit in to a wired connection, and on it's own, disabled the wireless adapter.
Go to start--> control panel--system-->hardware-->device manager

look under the "network adapters", there should be a wireless adapter or 802g something something, right click on this item and click "enable".

You should then be able to browse for wireless networks now.

Download your wi-fi driver here.
