Disabling Wireless Hotkey
I found the way to disable the Wireless hotkey button on the laptop. You do it under Setup.
Make sure you know the Wireless is on before doing this.
- Power up laptop and immediately press F2 to enter Setup mode.
- On the left, arrow down to “Wireless” and press “Enter.”
- On the left, arrow down to “Wireless Hotkey” and press “Enter.” The right side will display the different settings. It is defaulted to “Wi-Fi & BT.”
- Arrow over to “None” and press “Enter.”
- Press “Esc” then arrow over to “Save/Exit.” Press “Enter.”
- The laptop will start up.
- The green Wi-Fi symbol should be lighted. Now, pressing the Wireless button will have no effect.
We tested trying to turn the Wi-Fi off with the log in screen showing and after logging in as a student, guest, and Administrator. The Wi_Fi will not turn off. This will keep our “creative” students thinking of new ways to mess with us.
