The call volume for today is more about wireless connectivity
and my tools or cheat sheet for wireless toggle switch is missing. User experience
basic issue like wireless on/off button is off on the modem or the toggle
switch is off on the laptop. Callers are not aware that some of the modems and
laptops has a switch for wireless connectivity. To troubleshoot the wireless
connectivity on the modem make sure to check
the wireless light most of the modem has a label WLAN, Wireless or a
signal icon. The laptop depends on the brand has
each own switch some of them use a certain key or function key to activate. Here are the list for Laptop Wireless Adapter.
