Cant remember how
I got hubby a laptop and am not able to connect to WIFI
In the network connections my wifi connection doens't show up.
It says make sure wireless switch on your computer is on?

What wireless switch?

I have refreshed to find the wireless and it doesnt see mine or the 3 neighbors wifi connections that show up like on this laptop.

Help please ! Thanks

I have a switch right on the front of my computer...It's a slide switch

When I have my hands on laptop mouse pad......It's under my left hand

My reps use netbooks in the field. On the right hand side is a switch with a zigzag line (like a EKG) on it and the words on/off....
They have to turn it off in the field since it keeps searching for a WIFI connection and totally drains the battery.

HTH
