That switch is controller by the HP Wireless Assistant software. If you installed other WiFi software, that may cause problems with the WiFi button. You can try installing the latest version of HP Wireless Assistant. Download from your product's page at the HP support website.

How do I stay connected to the Internet when I leave my house?

You have a WiFi device that must send/receive signals from your home wireless system. That generally doesn't extend much out of the home. You need to find a free wifi zone or kupgrade to an iPad with cellular service that connects you like a built-in phone.

SETTING UP A WIRELESS PRINTER WITHOUT A WIRELESS ROUTER - WINDOWS 7
Install Virtual Router first "Turn any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer into a Wifi Hot Spot."
EditByBSEditor: Virtual Router turns any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer into a Wifi Hot SPOT using Windows 7's Wireless Hosted Network (Virtual Wifi) technology.
The Wireless Network Create/shared with Virtual Router uses WPA2 Encryption, and there is not way to turn off that encryption. This is actually a feature of the Wireless Hosted Network API's built into Windows 7 and 2008 R2 to ensure the best security possible.
You can give your "virtual" wireless network any name you want, and also set the password to anything. Just make sure the password is at least 8 characters. http://www.brothersoft.com/virtual-router-327895.html Then install Connectify-Me Connectify is an easy to use software router for Windows 7 computers. After downloading and installing the lightweight application, Connectify utilizes your computers' built in Wi-Fi card to wirelessly share any available Internet connection: a cable modem, a cellular card, or even another Wi-Fi network. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices including laptops, smart phones, music players, and gaming systems can see and join your Connectify hotspot just like any other Wi-Fi access point and are kept safe and secure by password-protected WPA2 Encryption. http://www.connectify.me/ Then reboot computer

I have a samsung omnia i910 with verizon wireless. I already have to pay for a data package on the phone, and they want almost as much more to use it to tether or wifi to my laptop. Isn't there any other...

Hello, Missy.

I think back years ago for what I paid for full landline phone service, dial-up for Internet, limited cell service and cable service.

Even though it feels like a lot of $$$, these days, I am getting so much more for my $$$ (not to say that it's inexpensive).

I have Verizon service, also and have the "works" with my Blackberry, including data and VZNavigator. But, I have dropped my landline service (really don't need it anymore) and do have cable service (I use Comcast) and Verizon DSL.

Altogether, I think I'm paying about the same as years ago with higher technology, portability and convenience.

My advice to you is this: really evaluate what you need, rather than what you want. Compare providers side by side with your needs in mind.

Hope this helps.
