irenegraham,
You can click the link below for steps in setting up your computer and wifi. On the Inspiron N5040, use the Fn + F2 key to turn wireless/bluetooth On or Off. Use Windows Mobility Center in the control panel to check the status of the wireless connection. If you have any further questions you can email me at my email address listed below.
Thank You,
