[Bertrum]

Depending on the model it could be
A dedicated button, located above the keyboard.
A toggle switch, located on the front or side of the laptop.
The FN and the key with the wireless icon on your keyboard.
The key combination Fn + F3 is also used.

If you are unable to sort-out something from Bertrum's answer, then please let us know the exact Model Number of your Laptop.

Incidentally, has wireless worked before on the laptop, or is this your first time trying.

Hans.

Watch this henry. You need the id password of your router if it has never been connected. If it has previously worked just make sure you select the right one from networks available after right clicking on the wifi logo bottom left of your screen in the bottom bar. The wifi logo is probably an ascending row of vertical bars.

Reset your router henry,your router will a little reset button and the wifi logo on it will flash and then lock on as a steady constant light.

Another question henry. Has that laptop ever been connected to your router. It seem that you have a w10 system running on a different device. If it has never run on your router it will need installing on the w7 acer. Can you look in devices to see if your acer has the router listed there?

[yrneh1938]

thanks again

[Togo]

How clever was that? Henry can morph into yrneh on the same thread??

[HansUrbancka]

Good evening yrneh1938. Are you actually the original poster in this thread.

Hans.

[Baldric]

Good trick if you can do it!

[HansUrbancka]

Perhaps henry's problem was spelling backwards the network's name, and now he's done the same with his username for AB.

Where does Site Rules say only one log on name is accepted?

[Togo]

I would think that 2 user names gave 2 different accounts

Or henry has a stalker.
