Turning wireless connection on!

roscbuy

Hi,

I recently subscribed to QSAT broadband and it is working brilliantly on all devices apart from 1 laptop I have.

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite and the reason it will not connect I think is because the Wi-Fi device on the laptop continues to stay orange and I think a blue colour indicates it is on properly.

Can anyone help me with this? Does anyone know if it is a blue light I should be looking for and if so how to get it to turn blue! I have tried FN + F8 numerous times and I have ensured the Wi-Fi switch at the bottom of the laptop is turned to "On".

When the laptop is directly plugged into the router via a cable it works fine.

Thanks in advance!

Eilish.

Check that the wireless card driver is installed (In XP, control panel - system - hardware - device manager). There was an issue a few years ago with the Satellite not having the driver installed. Go to Toshiba's site to download it if required.

Thanks very much for the reply; sorry about my delay in replying. I don't see the wireless card installed. Would you know the link to download it?

Thanks again for helping,
