Wireless Network Help
« on: October 06, 2010, 03:45:16 PM »
This morning, my wireless network was working on my laptop. I get home from work, and now the laptop isn't even detecting the network. Can anyone help me out as to what might have happened between the time I shut down in the morning and when I turned it back on in the afternoon?

(assuming you did this, but...) turn off your wifi router/dsl/etc, count to 30, and turn it back on.  if that doesn't work, you're fucked.

Do you have a switch on the side of (or top of) your laptop that controls your wireless card? Potentially could have bumped it and turned the wireless off.

That seems to be the case. Thanks!

I screwed with my parents laptop for I don't know how long one night when I realized that the wireless switch on the side was off.  It happens.
