Connect the laptop to the router by ethernet and open the router admin page by typing the ip address in the address box (not the search box)
(Unless of course you simply haven't enabled wifi on your laptop; to check:)
Start - my computer - view system information (left hand panel) - hardware - device manager
Scroll down the list, click 'network adapters'; double click on the one that says 'wireless'
That should tell you if the wireless is on or not
