Comments on: Fn+F2: Disable wireless http://www.zeigen.com/shortcuts/2007/05/15/wireless/ Each weekday, a new Windows keystroke that you can use to save time Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:35:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: estephen http://www.zeigen.com/shortcuts/2007/05/15/wireless/#comment-8351 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:42:05 +0000 http://www.zeigen.com/shortcuts/2007/05/15/wireless/#comment-8351 Good point, thanks. As I said at the top, "Not every laptop uses this keystroke, but most seem to" -- I'd guess about 80% of the laptops I've seen have support for it. Good point, thanks.

On other brands it does nothing. Fujitsu laptops have an actual sliding switch for the WLAN on most models. Sorry, that isn’t a Windows shortcut; it’s a Dell (and Gateway and others) shortcut.

What type of laptop do you have? There is quite possibly an application supplied by your vendor which can easily disable wireless. For example, on my Dell laptop, there's a system tray icon for their wireless manager; I can right click on it (with a mouse, horrors!) to get a shortcut menu for wireless options that includes disabling wireless. Another choice is to use the Network control panel: Ctrl+Esc to open the Start Menu S for Settings N for Network Connections Up Arrow to highlight the Wireless connection Shift+F10 for the shortcut menu B for Disable I’m sorry to say, Costin, that I know of no way to emulate this using an external keyboard.
