What Happens If An Unmanaged Ethernet Switch Is Looped?

Wireless not working. Hardware Radio Switch Off..?

  • I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The ethernet cable works just fine. When I run network diagnostics it says to turn the wireless capability on. I am able to connect using other devices, (psp, xbox 360) The switch and light on my laptop is turned on. When I press Fn-F2 (wireless capability) buttons, nothing happens. Intel My WiFi Utility says hardware radio switch off. And a program i downloaded from Intel's website: Wireless Select Switch, says bluetooth and wireless LAN are disabled. The network adapter in my laptop is Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN, and the drivers are up to date. I have also tried rolling back the drivers, System Restore, Setting the BIOS to default, and uninstalling the drivers, restarting, then reinstalling the driver... Please help! [email protected] is my email, you can contact me directly or on this site.

  • Answer:

    1st check for a physical switch on ur laptop with the on-off switch for the wireless. Secondly, Is the light red or blue? Else, If you bought the Laptop Recently, you can take it to the service center and get it checked (maybe there is a hardware issue)
