This section provides general troubleshooting tips for networking 
problems, specifically wireless (Wi-Fi

®

) networking.

The terms and concepts used assume a basic understanding of 
networks, and may be for more advanced users. If you need 
assistance or if you are not familiar with the terminology, please see 
Windows

®

 Help and Support or contact your computer technician.

❖

If your computer is equipped with an internal Wi-Fi

®

 adapter, 

verify that the Wireless antenna is ON (the wireless indicator 
light 

 will be lit).

❖

Verify that your computer can detect access points or routers. If 
it can detect a Wi-Fi

®

 access point or router then it may be a 

configuration issue.

❖

Verify that signal strength is good using the utility provided 
with the Wi-Fi

®

 adapter.

❖

If another computer is on the same network, verify that it has 
network access, and can connect to the Internet. If, for 
example, the other computer cannot browse to a public Web 
site, the ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) service may be 
disrupted.

❖

Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network 
name, is correct 

- 

i.e., that it matches the SSID assigned to the 

access point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are 
case-sensitive. 

❖

Check the Windows

®

 Control Panel's Device Manager to verify 

that the Wi-Fi

®

 adapter is recognized by the Windows

®

 

operating system, and that the driver is loaded. To access 
the Device Manager, click Start, Control Panel, System
and Security, and then System. Carefully note any error 
messages 

- 

these will be very helpful if you should confer with 

a support technician at a later time.

To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key 

Fn + F8

. For more information see
