    HP use the pavilion name for many models, whats yours? And what OS? Check for hardware switches, or touch-sensitive soft buttons, also check Network Connections and Device Manager

    this suggests F12 may control the wifi, but not sure if this applies to Win8. Try Device Manager otherwise.

    I had this problem on an HP Pavillion DM3. I eventually found the solution on the HP site. I can't remember exactly what the steps were, but if you search the help on the HP site you should find it.
