    How to Turn On/Off Wireless Connectivity Without FN+ Keys


    I've looked up this on the internet and found nothing, they all said the keyboard is the only way, BUT, i have a Toshiba and i never touch the keyboard to enable WIFI, i use a Toshiba Program to do this and it does The same thing that the FN+F8 does..

    So the question that i couldn't find an answer for it yet is : how these manufacturers programs are able to turn on/off wireless the same way pressing FN does ?, It's just a program so i want to know the command responsible for it..

    I'm not talking about disabling adapter or Turn on/Off Wireless via Win Mobility Center..

    P.S : I just want to know how the Toshiba Program can switch off Wireless without disabling the Adapter

    Hi BassGaz

    If I read your question correctly, you are looking for a command line to disable/enable a Wireless Network Connection?

    There are several ways to do this.
    The easiest way is to type these command's into command prompt:


    To disable the Wireless Network Connection:

    Code:
    netsh interface set interface name="Wireless Network Connection" admin=disabled
    To enable the Wireless Network Connection:
    Code:
    netsh interface set interface name="Wireless Network Connection" admin=enabled
    Make sure you run Command Prompt as Administrator, otherwise the command will not work.

    I hope this answers your question :).
