Hi:

 

Did you reinstall the wireless button driver when you installed W8.1?

 

This package provides the driver for the HP Wireless Button on supported models running a supported operating system. HP Wireless Button allows the physical (hardware) wireless radio button on the system to enable and disable the wireless connection on the system.

Did you install the wireless card driver?
