The FN-F2 toggle combination to turn the wireless on and off did not work. I booted the PC into setup (by pressing F2 at startup) and under Advanced and networking turned off the toggle function, but left networking, bluetooth, etc. turned on. I then saved and exited the BIOS setup. When the PC started normally the wireless was on again and able to detect networks in the area. The model of this PC was the Dell Inspiron N7010. It appears the toggle function quit working when the toggling had wireless set to off. Turning off toggling did the trick.
