Wifi switch via a laptop key pad

[Ianak]

I have an H/P laptop and some how managed to disable turn off the Wifi when cleaning the key pad I tried everything in settings to turn it back on and nothing I could find would turn it back on . so I put a wifi dongle in a usb port which gave me a wifi 2 option which I used for 3 months then when cleaning my key board I have managed to enable the original wifi 1 again and now don't need the dongle I have no idea which keys disable and enable the wifi can anyone help please win 10

Normally the key in question should have a little picture on it depending on what it’s going to do.
Look for one that looks like a transmitter or an antenna of sorts.


Or, just clean your keyboard again whenever you next want to turn the laptop Wi-Fi on or off

Sounds like you've toggled 'airplane mode' on.

That's what the F8 key on my laptop does. Your key might be different, but it will likely have a similar logo on it.



If not, then you should be able to turn this on/off using the instructions found here

Hope that helps

You may even have a WiFi switch on the side of the laptop, check there too.

Good luck
