Using HP Wireless Assistant
A wireless device can be turned on or off using HP Wireless Assistant. If a wireless device is disabled
in Setup Utility, it must be reenabled in Setup Utility before it can be turned on or off using Wireless
Assistant.
NOTE: Enabling or turning on a wireless device does not automatically connect the computer to a
network or a Bluetooth-enabled device.

notification area, and then position the mouse pointer over the wireless icon.

network problems.
