How to Enable Wi-Fi (or wireless), also called turning on the Wi-Fi switch on Toshiba Laptop
To begin, we'll start with the simplest and quickest solution - ensuring that it's enabled.
Some older laptops have a physical switch or toggle on the side or front that must be enabled to use Wi-Fi. Look for this on your laptop. If you see one, make sure it's toggled to the "on" position. If you don't have a physical switch, continue to the next step.
Instead of a physical toggle, older laptops might have a touch-sensitive button on a strip above the keyboard that shows a picture of an antenna. If you have this, you'll want to ensure it's on by looking for the lit up picture. If it isn't lit, touch it to enable Wi-Fi. Not every laptop will have this strip.
Wi-Fi must be enabled through software as well. Press the button with a picture of an antenna in the top of keys to toggle the Wi-Fi. You may also need to hold FN and press the button. If the "F" number is White and the image is Gray, you will press the Fn plus the button with the wireless icon. Example is Fn+F8. If the "F" number is Gray and the image is White, you will NOT NEED to press the Fn plus the button with the wireless icon. Example is F12.
If that doesn't work, reinstalling Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP) could help. Click here to learn How to Finding downloads and support documents for your Toshiba computer, tablet, TV, and other electronics
