Wireless Toggle Switch

I put a wireless card into my H215 IdeaCenter and it is recognizing the card and stating that it is connected via the wireless card. But, when I unplug the ethernet cable, it does not connect to the internet. I've been asked if I turned on the wireless switch. I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me how to do that, please?

If you added the wireless card yourself there is no "wireless switch". That only applies to laptops.

I suspect that the card may not really be connected. Try rebooting with the hardline unplugged.
