Where is wireless button on HP ENVY all in one

[Kristy296]

I can not figure out how my wireless was turned off on the HP Envy All in One. I have tried f10, F9, f10... F12 , and they do not change anything. I don't see any Amber or Blue light on the keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.

@Kristy296, welcome to the forum.

I am certain that my keyboard is different than yours, but I have to press the "fn" key at the bottom of the keyboard and the "F12" key at the same time.  This will turn my wifi off and on.  You may have to use a different key with the fn key.

Thank you for your response. It looks like Fn F11 is the magic button to try to connect to wireless, and it searched to connect to torn on but it was not successful.

I picked up my iPhone to test the wireless router in the house, turned wireless off, blue tooth off, roaming off, hot spot off, and like I expected on my phone I could no longer connect via wifi. I then connected to our home wifi only on my phone, and was able to get on the Internet on my iPhone. I then tried again for kicks to connect on the HP Envy to the wifi and couldn't.

Is there another way I might be able to fix what is going on with the computer?

You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

I would appreciate it if you would provide the full model of the computer.  You can find it by opening HP Support Assistant.  Please only provide the model and product number, not the serial number.  I need this information to review the specifications of the computer.

This ended up working for me:

Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:
1. Open Device Manager. (Win Key+R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
2. Expand the Network adapters.
3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.
4. Click the Power Management tab.
5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
6. Click OK.
7. Test.

Thank you!

I was going out off my mind trying to get my wifi to work. The power managment had turned my wifi off to save power.

1)  Type in power option

2)  Go to change plan settings

3) Go to change advanced power setting

4) Go to wireless adapter setting 

5) Go to power saver

6) Place both battery and plugged in on maximam performance

This restored my wifi, thankfully
