Answer 2

I assume you're talking about a wi-fi adapter. This question crops up mostly in regard to built-in adapters on laptops. If this is the case, there's no actual switch. You probably have a radio power-on/power-off key combination on the keyboard. Look for a blue "fctn" or "fn" key along the bottom of the keyboard. If you have that, you should also have a series of blue symbols on the top row F1 through F12 keys on the top row. There might be one that looks like a dot radiating waves. It may also look like a radio tower with waves coming out of it. Hold down the blue "fn" key while pressing the radio symbol key. An indicator should come on indicating radio power. Now try enabling the device.

If that's not it, I don't have a clue.

Answer 3

You are looking for a physical switch somewhere on your computer, usually on the front edge or side to enable your wireless.

Answer 4

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
