How to turn on Wi-Fi with keyboard?

Ditch the Mouse: Turning on Wi-Fi with Your Keyboard

Lost your mouse? Don’t panic if you need to connect to Wi-Fi. You don’t need a pointing device to regain your internet access. Windows offers a simple keyboard shortcut to swiftly enable your wireless connection. Here’s how to do it:

The secret weapon is the Windows Mobility Center. This handy utility, often overlooked, provides quick access to several system settings, including Wi-Fi. Accessing it is a breeze using a single, powerful keyboard shortcut:

Press the Windows key and the X key simultaneously.

This combination will instantly open the Windows Mobility Center. You’ll see a window with various options related to your computer’s power, display, and network connections. Look for the “Wireless Network Connection” or similar option (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on your Windows version). It’s usually depicted by a Wi-Fi symbol.

Simply click on the Wireless Network Connection option. This will toggle your Wi-Fi adapter on or off. If it’s currently off, clicking it will turn it on, and you’ll be prompted to select your network from the available list. If it’s already on, clicking it will turn it off.

That’s it! You’ve successfully enabled your Wi-Fi using only your keyboard. Now you can browse the web, stream your favorite shows, or connect to your network without ever having to reach for your mouse. This simple technique is a lifesaver when your mouse is unavailable, malfunctioning, or simply out of reach.

Troubleshooting:

If the Wireless Network Connection option is greyed out or unavailable, it may indicate a deeper issue with your Wi-Fi adapter or drivers. You may need to check your device manager (accessible through the Device Manager option in the same Windows Mobility Center or by searching for it in the Start Menu) to ensure your Wi-Fi adapter is functioning correctly and has the latest drivers installed.

This keyboard shortcut is a quick and easy way to manage your Wi-Fi connection in a pinch. Remember this handy tip for the next time your mouse goes missing!
