Hi there, I have a sony vaio and this morning the wireless switch on it that connects to my wireless router wasn't working. Not had that happen before. I used a cable to connect and after about 2 mins the switch turned on. Any ideas why its not turning on initially?
Alternativley, there is a key combination you can press. Its usually Fn + F2 or Fn+wifi symbol key the wifi symbol key is usually a small symbol of an antenna mast with radio waves coming off it.
Another option is a helper application that could be running in the bottom right of the screen near the clock. Look for a network or wireless managment program. Usually you can just right click the icon and click enable wlan or wifi.
3, open the network and sharing centre from your control panel, then in the left hand side click on manage network interfaces. You will then see a screen with local area network and wireless network - right click on the wireless network and enable it.
If none of the above work, then it will need a computer tech to look at it as it may be a driver helper application that isnt running.
Thanks so much Ray. you the man. I found the third one. But it only seems to be in the morning when i power up that its not connecting, once Ive made that initial connection with the cable it works. so i will try it in the morning. cheers for your time and willingness to share your knowlege.
