1) Start the computer, and turn on the wireless device.
To turn on the wireless device, simply move the switch to the On position. The power switch for the wireless LAN device, and the Bluetooth device (if equipped), is located on the side of the case or above the keyboard depending on the model. On some computers, the switch is actually a touch point on the panel above the keyboard.

2)For most computers, there is an LED light that glows blue when the wireless device is turned on and enabled, and glows orange when off or disabled. Some newer models use different a different color scheme.
In the toolbar notification area, locate the HP Wireless Assistant icon.

If it is On , continue to next step.
If it is Off , right-click the icon and select Open Wireless Assistant . Click Turn On to enable the device.
If there is no icon, click Start , select Control Panel , click Network and Internet , and then click HP Wireless Assistant to open the HP Wireless Assistant and Turn On (enable) the wireless device.

If the HP Wireless Assistant is not listed in the Device Manager, use another computer to download it from the HP Software & Driver Downloads web page.

Now that the wireless device is turned On and Enabled, locate the available wireless networks icon in the toolbar notification area. If there is no wireless icon, but the network cable is connected, unplug the network cable. The wireless network icon will display.
