Dell Latitude D520 - How to turn on WiFi capabilities.

[tranquil109]

I cannot figure out how to turn on my WiFi on this laptop for anything, I don't even know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think you have to have both the hardware enabled (Fn+F key, dont remember which) plus have the drivers installed in the OS

According to the manuals available on Dell's website, Fn+F2 enables and disables the wireless adapters (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, if installed).

Contrary to the manual holding FN + F2 does not work for my Dell Inspirion laptop. What DOES work everytime however, is when I hold down the CTRL + SHIFT and then hold the F2 key!!! Try that.


It took me forever to figure this out.

CTRL + SHIFT + F2

Hope this helps.
