    Hi,

    Everyone in my flat seems to be able to access the internet through wireless but me. The wireless sign is orange. How do I turn on the wireless to make it blue?

    Thank you.

    It probably should be orange- blue is reserved for Bluetooth.
    Check if you have Launch Manager installed, if your wireless security is set up properly and verify that there's no MAC filtering on the router (and if there is that your MAC address is on the "allowed" list)
