Best Answer

Many laptops with an integrated wireless card will have a small mechanical switch on the front or side. If moving the switch turns a light on and off but does not turn the computer off and on, it is likely a power switch for the laptop.

Another way to tell is to open up your Device Manager and view the list of devices. Most wireless cards will have names that give away their purpose, like "Atheros a/b/g Wireless controller."

First, check your computer's wireless network status.

Second, check your wireless device for any green blinking lights or if other different-colored lights are blinking. The color and blinking indicates that either the device is fully working or dysfunctional.

Third, check the computer's configuration settings and wireless device configuration settings to see if they are correct. If not, configure them correctly.

Fourth, reboot all of your wireless devices and the computer if they are still not working.

Fifth, contact a friend or technical support for additional advice. Sometimes, if a device is faulty or dysfunctional, seek for repair or a replacement.
