    Does this laptop have a wireless switch as microsoft keeps suggesting. I have a home network and a different network at my office. When I go from one to the other I cannot get the wireless antenna to come on. It will not search for a network. This gets very frustrating bec I never know if I will be able to get on the internet at one of my locations. Then suddenly, boom, it comes on.. I can't figure it out bec both of the my networks have very strong signal. Any thoughts are GREATLY appreciated.

    START.. RUN ipconfig /release /renew....


    look for a WIFI sticker on the bottom of the PC...

    there are many places a wifi can be disabled in one way or another..
    does the WIFI card show in the DEVICE MANAGER?
    does the WIFI light turn on/off when pressing WIFI button?

    next well look in the NEWTORK section of control pannel if you still have issues!
