Hi.
Have you tried deleting or rolling back the wireless drivers? It is possible it won't be able to find the WiFi at all then, at which point you'd have to manually download a WiFi driver, copy it onto the computer with a flash drive and install it, unless it has an ethernet jack and there is such a plug available for connecting to the internet nearby.

I spoke to Arianna on the phone yesterday and we covered all of the

possibilities plus some others and it is still a no go. The guy she 
got the
system from is going to send her an external wireless adapter which a 
lady

of her skill set should have no problem at all installing. The only
suggestion I make for you Arianna is to wait until you have some eyes

because some cards go in first and then the drivers get installed and 
other

cards do it the other way around.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have 
evolved from

a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Hi.


According to a quick google search, his switch is located just above 
the

f7 key and is a capacitive touch button.

Hi,

Try giving MSA a call because I think you can still connect with 
them,

even
though your wifi is not connected.

See if this works:

Open IE and press control O.

Type in,
Support.microsoft.com/help

If, you reach their website, call them

Most laptop have a external wireless switch on the outside ( In the
front or
sides.)

The internal can be toggle with the FN key + a function key,
Different laptop types MFG's will be different.


Write back, a probably another memember uses your brand of laptop and
can
give you the command to toggle it on/off.

HTH,
Jorge

I only have NVDA on this laptop since I can't install JAWS unless I'm
able
to go online.  I couldn't do this in the Sys Tray with NVDA.]

Hi,
System tray and arrow to your unconnected signal.

Press the tab key 3 times to double left click, press spacebar.
Enter on network setting link.
Now tab through the menu, check wireless is turned on.

Tab and hopefully will see all networks,

Locate yours and enter, then have the password ready in your mind 
and

type
it out.

Try Device manager.
Under Network adaptors.
Highlight the wireless adaptor.
Press the applications key and make sure it is enabled.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Turning on wireless

I have two HP laptops here using Windows7 and JAWS 16 which I can't
get

wireless to turn on.  I've tried everything I know so I'm 
wondering if

anyone has any suggestions.  If airplane mode is on, is there a
keystroke
to turn it off?

I've run my fingers along at the top of the laptop. I've tried the
function keys with and without the FN key.  I've looked for a slide
switch



or button on the laptop.   I've tried Windows Mobility Center.  
No go!

Please help, if you can.
