  1. flight mode on(i can't turn on wi fi) broken switch flight mode


    In my Dell e7440 is broken the physical airplane mode switch . Turns on and off when it wanna . I disable it in the device manager -> user interface -> airplan mode swicht collection. When it deactivates this switch when the airplane mode is off (wi fi on), everything is ok and there is no problem with on / off airplane mode. However, during the computer restart I can not turn on the wi fi (the wi fi icon shows off). The switch is deactivated. I think that I need to change the computer settings during startup to automatically turn on wi fi from the software level without being connected to the hardware switch. However, I have no idea how to do it

    :)

  2. Icon wi-fi and flight mode switched, how to solve this?


    Hi, guys
    i have a little problem about wi-fi icon and flight mode icon.
    i am using windows 10 for a year, but last time, suddenly my wi-fi icon turned to flight mode.
    so when my flight mode is off, the wi-fi icon is "plane". but when my flight mode is on the icon is "wi-fi".
    its also when i turn on/off flight mode using keyboard fn+flight mode its notification is swapped. when flight mode is off, the notification is "flight mode is on". i don't have any idea where was the problem, i tried to rebuild icon cache but doesn't make any change. help me please..?

    N80 flight mode

    Flight mode has nothing to do with Wi-Fi. Even 6680 had an offline mode. And Motorola V3i (which is not even a smartphone) has a flight mode. Flight mode means the part of the phone which is responsible for network connections (either GSM, EDGE, GPRS,
    and/or 3G) is turned off and only some functions of the phone are available to the user (e.g., games, mp3 player, organizer functions). If the phone has Wi-Fi module, such as the N80, it can also be used in flight (offline) mode.

  4. flight mode on(i can't turn on wi fi) broken switch flight mode

    i can't turn on wifi in flight mode

    I have the same problem and also on lumia 620. I was used to turn on flight mode and enable wi-fi to connect to my wi-fi at home in the evenings. I changed channel on my router from 11 to 13 yesterday and couldn't connect to my wi-fi when in flight mode
    with enabled wi-fi. I did some tests and when channel is set to <= 11,everything works fine. When not in flight mode, I can connect to network at any channel.
