More info required!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 If you have a new laptop, most now have a physical switch that you have to
turn on!
2, If you have a router, log into it and enable the wireless after setting
network up!

You expect people to guess what you have!!!!!!!

Hi
In order to start the wireless card laptops either have a specific physical
switch, or a combination of key to press (like Fn- F6).
Usually the manual would mention it in the Wireless section.
If you do not have a manual use Live Search and enter a term like "Switch on
Wireless on Computer Model xxxxc".

I have a Thinkpad T61, and Fn - F5 is my key combination ... but it
did take me a long long time to figure that one out.

Just as Jack said, if you have a manual the front of it should show photos of
where all the buttons, connection ports, and wireless buttons are located on
your machine. Your computer may have wireless capabilities, but you will
need a wireless router to connect wirelessly to the internet. Usually, your
ISP (Internet Service Provider) will help you set things up and get you
connected. If you need further info or specifics on how to do something

the info provided has solved your problem.
