There may not be a physical switch. Many laptops use a combination of the FN
key and some other key to toggle wireless off/on. Look for a key that has a
picture of a tiny radio tower. Otherwise, since none of us can see your
computer from here, you should:

1. Refer to the manual you got with your computer; or
2. Look at the User's Guide on the computer's hard drive (check in Start
Menu>Programs); or
3. Look on the laptop mftr.'s website for tech support of that particular
model; or
4. Call the laptop mftr.'s tech support.

RE: I cant find the wireless switch

Have you looked on the side. This where I've seen this on Medion laptops.
What model do you have?
