Re: [Blind-Computing] Unable to get online using 64 bit laptop
Yes. Most laptops do have a switch that will turn wireless on and off. I have a dell laptop that has said switch on the side. It can be a bit difficult !get a fingernail in there to turn wireless on and off, but other than that it is fairly simple.
