Need Key combination for wireless - Acer Aspire 4520-5582 Notebook

Hi

Please press the fn key and the key with the radio mast symbol or the sattelite symbol, it varies for different manufacturers but is usually the F5 key

Press the Fn key. While keeping it pressed, press F2 key. This combination of keys will turn on the wireless. You can use the same key combination to switch off the wireless also. When the wireless is turned on the wifi light glows to indicate it is on.

To secure the wireless network or to change any settings on the router you will need to access the router set up interface.
Open the set up interface of the router . Make sure that your computer will be connected to the router with the Ethernet cable.

Once you open the set up page of the router , you will find the place to change the wireless settings of the router. In case of Linksys wireless router , you will see the Wireless Tab at the top.

SSID : It is the name of the wireless network. This name will be shown on your wireless computer or the wireless device so that you can identify your own wireless network. All the routers come with their factory default settings. For example , the Linksys router will come with the Linksys network name.
It will be better to change the wireless network name.

Hi,

The wireless radio combination should be the Fn+F2 keys to activate it. That is to hold down Fn and hit the F2 key.



Regards.

It's difficult to tell, but there seems to be a small switch on the front, that may activate the wireless connection. If that isn't it, you can usually access the modems through control panel, under 'network and internet,' and the wireless assistant, or possibly the network and sharing center; if the wireless modem is disabled, right clicking on the icon will usually give you an option to activate it, or you can connect to a network through the network and sharing center, as well as detecting networks, and that will tell you whether or not the thing is working.

Try this

Fn + F2

Hello Stephen,

FN + F2 on some dells (including yours)


FN + F5 on most other laptops

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_b78b4251cd160cd2

What's the brand of your laptop? Usually the key combination is Fn F2

typically, there is a key combination to turn your wireless on and off. The combination is most often the FN key + F8. If you look at keys F1 thru F12, you will find a key that has a blue symbol that looks like a transmitting antenna. You will need to hit the FN key + the key with that symbol. I, too, have a similar problem, but the key combination is not working. I hope you don't have that problem.
