How to Turn on Wireless Radio on a Toshiba Laptop
By Ruri Ranbe
Wireless routers transmit network data via radio waves. The wireless network interface controller or wireless local area network (WLAN) card inside a Toshiba laptop detects incoming radio signals within range using built-in antennas. Turning off wireless communication on the laptop will prevent the computer from connecting to Wi-Fi networks. You can quickly re-enable the WLAN device within Windows.
Step 1
Click "Start | All Programs | TOSHIBA | Utilities | HWSetup." Click "LAN."
Step 2
Select "On" from the Wireless Communication Switch section. Click "OK." Restart the laptop if prompted.
Step 3
Hold down "Fn" to activate the Toshiba Flash Cards, and then press "F8" twice to enable the wireless radio on your laptop.
