WLAN light is off - Sony VAIO VGN-N220E/W Notebook

That sort of comes with a OS upgrade, in upgrades from XP to Win 7, I'm supprised that's the only thing that is a issue. I upgraded a old gateway (2005) from XP to Win 7 Pro N 64bit. and had some hardware issues to deal with. Consider yourself lucky. You can get use to it or search endlessly for a fix. Try the Acer forums, you may run across the issue.

Usually the wlan button is off because you're WLAN is not on, you need to locate this button and press it to enable your WLAN. The button is usually located on either the upper left or upper right corner of your keyboard. You will know if you hit the correct button because you'll get a pop up on the lower left corner of your screen saying that WLAN is on.

You can click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run > on the Run Window type in services.msc > press enter > then scroll and look for WLAN Configuration > it has a start or stop option, make sure that the button start is grayed out or press on start to enable wlan

you sould be getting a message again telling you that wlan is enable or already on

Hope this help you a bit. Have a great day

Try uninstalling the WLAN from the device manager and then reinstall from the Vaio Recovery Center which can be accessed from Windows Help And Support

If the WLAN light wont come, first thing that you can try here is to reset the unit again, by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds to correct the problem and once you're done resetting the unit unplug power for 10 seconds and then check if the wlan light is back....

I am now on the same kind of computer and I used to have this problem- dell said it's a motherboard problem and they replaced it for free. Now it works just fine!

in very laptop there is a switch button that determines if your wlan is on or off. Try finding it and switch it to On. I hope this will help you,, if it doesnt work let me know.

When the red WLAN light is flashing in conjuction with the internet light it just means a wireless computer is connected to the internet through the router
However I had a problem with the internet light flashing red and it required the router to be reconfigured

WLAN light will give you the status of your wireless connection. If WLAN light is off, it might be a possibility that wireless has been turned off or worse is the device had stopped broadcasting a wireless signal. you may try using 192.168.1.1 to get into the setup page of the device to check if wireless has been disabled.
