Wireless Switch Problems on Dell Inspiron N5010

Questions:

From time to time, an issue comes up where my wireless internet suddenly goes out, and I run the troubleshoot and it tells me that the wireless switch needs to be physically switched on. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have no idea where this "switch" is, but when I restart, everything seems to work fine.
Is there something I can do to not have to restart whenever this happens? Thanks in advance.

Answers:

There is no Wireless Switch on the Inspiron N5010. To turn on wireless, you will need to hold down on the FN key, and tap the F2 key once, that's the wireless switch on your system.

I would suggest you to update the wireless card driver from our support site by usining the below link. Make sure to check which wireless card you have on your system, and then download it. You will find the wireless driver under network.
