RockySpears Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Any one have one of the above? My aunt, who lves along way away has lost her WiFi connetion. I do her IT stuff using TeamViewer, but without a connection it won't happen. Wifi works as I can WhatsApp her and I think that during her dusting she has moved a slider on the side of the LapTop that turns her WiFi on and off. Despite best efforts she can find no slider and I just want to be sure there is or is not one. Sending her an ethernet cable to try plugging in to the router so I can get on and see. Neighbours no use either. Just trying here because ther is nealy always some one with an answer here, Cheers, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works only if the switch is on (I hope) otherwise it means the card is playing up/bust. That means an ethernet connection only. So I will need a WiFi extender that has an ethernet port socket as the laptop lives upstairs in the study. Thank you, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Does she know how to send pictures on WhatsApp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockySpears Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yep, we can video call and send pics, but asking her to look around the edge for the sliding button has failed. It is hard enough getting her to undestand which screen to look at (computer or phone). If I could establish the existence or not of the button it would be a start, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I was thinking more on the lines of her sending you pictures of the sides of the laptop. Had a quick look online and some have a button and others a slider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
