Answer 2

Some laptops have indication lights for WiFi LAN, some don't. If yours has a light then I would imagine that if the light isn't lit then the WiFi is switched off.

HTH

Answer 3

yes the light should be on and some laptops have a switch and with some laptops you have to press alt and f2 ...put the model on the answers page and someone will come back and tell you how to switch it on and off  

Answer 4

If its turned on it usually lights up, so if its not working then make sure its turned on first (sometimes there is a switch on the laptop and sometimes you do it via software on the laptop). But if its working and the LED is off it could just be a dud LED

Answer 5

it does so pick this as the best answer plz

Answer 6

Yes, and in some models it blinks when there is a wireless transmission happening from or to your notebook.

If you can't find the LED on then it's either not functioning or simply the button is not switched on...the place of the button depends on the model of your notebook so look into the laptop manual on how to switch on the wireless (if you can't find the button on your notebook).
