Yes...I had already tried the Fn + F8, but then discovered a slide switch on the right side of the laptop to turn radio ON/OFF. I guess I was just not that familiar with the Toshibas.

I have a Fujitsu Series A &nbsp;laptop with Atheros Client Utility Wireless adapter. Adapter has stopped picking up my wireless network. &nbsp;I have already checked and it is enabled but when I run the diagnostic it says radio is turned off, and the Utility will not allow me to turn the radio on. &nbsp;There is no external wireless on/off switch on my computer, and I have updated the adapter driver. &nbsp;none of the FN keys does the trick. What do I do?

I had this problem on a Panasonic Toughbook and I fixed it by going into the bios and turning off the wireless switch.

I have two Toshiba laptops (belonging to other clients), and in the Atheros Client Utility (WLAN), each one reports the &quot;RADIO STATUS: HARDWARE DISABLED&quot;, and the option to &quot;enable Radio&quot; is disabled. How can I enable radio with this utility?

Atheros (Wireless) Client Utility - Radio disabled

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
