Wifi on this Gateway laptop isn't working with Windows 8.
I tried the key to turn it on and that just toggled Airplane mode, and when I go to manually turn it on there's no slider to change the setting. I can connect fine when I use a cable, it's just the wifi that doesn't work.

Go to network sharing center, change adapter setting, right click on Broadcom adapter, click properties, click configure, go to advanced, and finally...DISABLE BLUETOOTH COLLABORATION. I fought with a Lenovo ideapad that came with windows 8 and did not work right out of the box. This fixed it.
Hello Mr. RLohman,
I just read the answer posted by you on this site and it seemed well. But there is on little problem which I have not been able to find, I cannot find the DISABLE BLUETOOTH COLLABORATION feature there. Can you please help me fix this issue. Would be of big help
Thanks already

I tried everything I could find for the problem windows 8.1 wifi greyed out but nothing helped.
I just then installed Windows 7 on a spare disc and after installing drivers for Wireless, the function-button for switching wireless on/off worked fine. I put back the Windows 8 disc and here the wireless was on too.

Please let me know if you find a solution. I've got a y510 with windows 8 and I have this same issue. I'm going insane trying to deal with it.

Device manager/network adapters/select your wireless adapter/right click select properties/select advanced tab/select the top property item, prolly 801.11d/change value to enabled from disabled.
This will circumvent any FN keys or digital wireless switch shortcuts, by turning it on at its source.

I just had the same problem. My airplane mode key just turns that on and off but wifi says no signal. I did find a solution though. This worked for me and I have windows 8 so i don't know if this will work for others. Move your pointer to the bottom right side of the screen to bring up the side menu. Click settings then click change PC settings. Go to wireless and turn on wifi. Presto.
