Enable WiFi on the Toshiba Satellite laptop

For a moment, don't pay attention, the child or cat has already killed WLAN on your Toshiba Satellite laptop. Here's how to activate it.

How to enable WiFi on your Toshiba Satellite laptop

1. From the symbol assignment, it would be logical if the key combination [FN] + [F8] would activate your WLAN - but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
2. Instead, you have to press and hold [FN], but in the top symbol bar, to the right of the power button in the same row, click on the [WLAN symbol] with a small, transmitting antenna mast, which turns out to be a hidden button.
3. Alternatively, you can also open the "Windows Mobility Center" with the combination [Windows key] + [X] and activate the WLAN there.
