Wireless connection

Options
My laptop was working fine yesterday, but today won't connect to the internet. The fault diagnosis says that I need to turn on the wireless capability which can be done by using a switch on the computer, or using a function key combination.

I can't find any switch, and have no idea what the function key combination is

Can anyone help please ?

  • Hi,

    have a look at the F keys, you should find one with a little triangle on a pole, it's F9 on my lappy.

    What lappy have you got?

    It would help if you could identify the make and model of your laptop along with the operating system you are using.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    I believe medion have made more than one model of laptop in the decade or so they have been around.....

    I'll likely be disabled in windows, disabled by some external switch/function key combination only knowing the model of your laptop will let someone help with or there'll be some non-windows/propietary wireless 'management' software thats not actually needed causing problems
