How to turn on Wi-Fi on a laptop
The procedure for turning on Wi-Fi is pretty simple, but there are some nuances that can cause difficulties. In this article, we will help you figure out how to enable Wi-Fi on a laptop using hardware capabilities, taking into account the device manufacturer, as well as through the services of the Windows operating system.
Usually on old (sometimes you can find it on new) laptops to activate the Wi-Fi module, a switch is used, which is located on one of the faces and can be either a slider or a regular button.
