How do I turn my radio on and off?
You can want to turn your wireless adapter's radio on and off to:
● Conserve your computer’s battery when not connected
● Meet the requirement to turn off radios on airplanes to prevent interference
There are two methods to turn the radio on and off:
● The hardware switch
● The Enable/Disable button in Intel PROSet/Wireless software
A common cause for users not being able to connect to a wireless network is due to
the radio being turned off. If you are unable to connect to a wireless network, verify
that your radio is turned on by both the hardware switch and the software Enable/
Disable button. Verify that you have checked both methods.
See Enable or Disable the Wireless Radio for more information.
