Re: [JAWS-Users] Internal wireless switch
Hi, Thanks to all that help, But I contacted MSA and the problem was the internal wireless adapter drive went dad. He downloaded a new one and restarted the laptop. He also check my router that it was working correctly. MSA did an awesome job and save me money on a repair.

Some devices have an actual mechanical switch on the outside of the case, while others use a software switch thru some type of a keystroke. It would be my guess that if you have an actual slide-type switch on the outside of your computer, to turn the wireless on or off, then there is not a specific keystroke to perform this task. If you are sure that the external switch is in the on position, then you should check the device manager for your wireless adapter, and make sure that is in fact enabled.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internal wireless switch
Hi Jorge, I never knew there was an external and an internal switch. It would depend on how you are accessing the wireless menu. You can try accessing it through your control panel. It is under windows mobility center or something similar. You should get a wireless status like currently connected and then give you the connection status. Another thing to try is I'm not sure what kind of laptop you have, but if you take your finger and run it along the top where your mouse pad is, you might be able to control your wireless that way. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Kelsey Nicolay For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internal wireless switch
Hi Rick, Thank you for correcting my termonalogy to the wireless adapter. Yes, my external is on the ON position. Even though that it is turned ON, I heard my son in law do a key command to get to the wireless internal adapter one time. I cannot remember, if it was the FN key + F8 or maybe F12. I did try the device Manager and enter on S for more. It did take me to a large menu drop down list. But, I need to be awake more to mess with this. When, I get the key command, I'll send them to you. And I'll play more with the wireless Take care, Jorge . -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2014 9:23 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Internal wireless switch Hi Jorge, I believe there is some mis-understanding of some terms here.
