The hp zx5369cl and others have builtin wifi with a button for turning off the wifi to save battery. On this model, the button normally lights when the wifi is operational. -- Show quoteHide quoteIt's not over 'til I win "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: > Hi > What exactly indicator is?

However in my case the wifi is on (according to the blinkin light on the AP) even when the wifi button light is off. I cannot tell from the wifi button light, if the wifi is on or off. I hope this clears any confusion. I am just short of reloading all programming, an at least a 4-hr project so we appreciate any help. -Bob -- Show quoteHide quote> When the computer is booting the indicator lights but later stays off > and we have no indication of when the wireless is on or off.

When the wifi button light on your laptop is off, can you connect to the AP and/or Internet? Sorry for the repeated post. An error page convinced me that the message did

I watch for the light while the laptop is booting and downloading a web page. The button light comes on during the process then goes out (and stays off) while the other indications confirm the connectivity.
