T40/Vista: Fn+F5 can't turn Wifi On/Of

After upgrading to Vista on my T40 (2373-92G) I can't turn the wireless antenna on/of with the Fn-F5 keys.
It only toggles the Blutooth on/off.
How can I restore this function?

>you need the Access Connection software
Unfortunately I've found this info:
"Dual-band Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI Adapters and 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters are not supported by ThinkVantage Access Connections on systems running Microsoft Windows Vista."
So I can't use ThinkVantage Access Connections.
I've now installed an update of the HotKey driver for Vista (2.08.2008).
It now seem to work just as it should for Bluetooth, but reports that Wireless is OFF even when it's on, and trying to turn it on hangs the program/driver...
Suggestions?

Can't turn wifi on after new update. FIX IT APPLE!!!

I love Apple products but starting to get really aggrevated. Can't even select wifi to turn it on, tried everything suggested. Guess I will just have to wait for Apple to release a fix. Thinking the Samsung Galaxy 3 is looking very nice.

This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here.
If you want to tell them your problem use www.apple.com/feedback instead.

Your WiFi chip has failed. Bring your phone to Apple for replacement.

I updated my iPad Air to the newest ios 7 update. Since then, I can not turn wifi on in the settings and bluetooth constantly has a spinning gear in the settings. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

After updating to ios 7.0.4, my ipad air will not allow me to turn on the wifi in the settings, and the bluetooth constantly shows a spinning gear in the settings. I'm currently trying to restore factory settings on the ipad for the second time. Powering off did not help. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
It might be something in your backup.

Can I turn wifi off with airlay Util? If so, how can I then turn it back on?

Make a Bootable Clone Backup using something like SuperDuper or CCC..
That way if something untoward were to happen during the Upgrade... you can be back up and running in minutes...

I can't turn the Wifi on, Satellite L40-18Z

Hi there,
I've been using Satellite L40-18Z but I can't turn on Wifi.
I'm very sure that Tthe device is installed propery and I tried some ways to turn on Wifi device but never turned on. Of course, never catched the signal. Rooter has no problem either.
Deveice manager says ithe device works propery. And the driver is correctly installed. But I can't turn on from windows mobility centre or network setting.
It's very embarrassing to post something like this but I need your help.
P.S. this is the first time I post on this thread but who answers? Toshiba support team?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Does anyone cope with it? Have my wifi disabled can't switch it on, tried to reinstall it nothing work.
Have it installed and work correctly thru device manager. Wifi can't be enabled and find network, all other devices are working properly. Access point have no limitation or something else in their settings.
Windows diagnostic can't resolve this issue. Shows that "wifi is still disabled on this computer" FN+F8 doens't wotk too.
Any help are more then wellcome.
I suppose this is Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter bug within Thoshiba Laptop.
Thanks in advance.
PS
Running Vista Home Premium that goes with laptop. 100 mb network is working ok.

I can't turn off wifi with Control Center

I can't turn off wifi with Control Center after updated ios 7.0.6

I already checked dmesg and nothing happens. It works with Vista, so...
With my old laptop (it's the same model) brightness didn't work, and now this. I guess i'll wait for a new update

I can't turn my WiFi Off??

This seems stupid, because most people complain the other way around
My laptop has a WiFi button (not switch) that turns a led on/off according to the WiFi state. The thing is...I can't turn the damn led off!!
This isn't really an issue, because most of the time I'm using my wireless, but sometimes it's handy to turn it off so I can save some battery when I'm studying and don't need an internet connection.
This button used to work about 2 months ago, before I sent my laptop for repair (turns out they gave me a new one because of the delay, but that's a different story), and now I did a fresh Arch install and I have this little...err...bug?
What could this be?
Thanks

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Hello srpeters5,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone. You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue already. I found an article that includes a few additional steps you can try. You can skip any steps you have already taken.

Wifi goes on and off, backlit keyboard doesn't work and no sound since Lion upgrade. I can get the wifi back by going into safe mode and re booting(someone suggested on here), but can't let computer die or turn off or have to do it again.

My Wifi connection goes off if computer dies or shuts off, I can only make it work if I go into safe mode and reboot, it was just that, but now my keyboard doesn't light up like it's supposed to in low or no light and in system preferences it's like it doesn't exist. Also, the sound doesn't work, I can't turn it up or down, it shows the sound icon grayed out and the anti symbol when I push F11 and F12, also it's like it doesn't exist in system preferences either. I have never had any problems with my MB Pro, I purchased in Feb. 2010. , but I upgraded to Lion last month, I haven't been using my laptop as much since I had an Ipad I given to me, so I think that's why I didn't notice these issues right away. What do I do? HELP!! Do I take it to Apple? I don't have the Apple care warranty, so will it be expensive for them to fix? Can I get my money back for Lion if I restore to Snow Leopard?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. How much it will cost will depend on their determination of the problems. To bad you didn't purchase extended AppleCare. No you don't get your money back for purchasing Lion.

Can i turn off the option that enables iOS 8 to connect to my apple tv without using wifi?

I am a schoolteacher and our school uses Apple-tv to project lesson contents. We have separated the students wifi network from the teachers wifi network, so our students won't be able to use the apple-tv's and disrupt our lessons.
Since the introduction of ios8, the separated wifinetwork doesn't do the trick anymore. Students can now use every Appltv in their vicinity to project whatever image they want. This is a problem.
Can we turn off the option that enables IOS8 to connect to apple-tv without using the wifi network?
Thanks in advance.
Marco

Unless buffering a rental/prior purchase to watch it should not consume significant bandwidth when connected.
Power wise it uses 6W at most.
You can't power off from the remote but you can set it to sleep -
Press and hold Select for five seconds (or go to Settings > Sleep Now on Apple TV (2nd generation), or Settings > Standby on Apple TV (1st generation)

I can't get wifi to turn on

I can't turn on my wifi the icon is grey, I've tried resets any ideas
