You can perform the following two steps

Explanation:

Have the user press the appropriate function key combination to enable the wireless radio and then attempt to connect to the wireless network (since by mistake he could have disabled it). Ask the user to turn on the laptop's airplane mode and attempt to reconnect to the wireless network (this mode basically what it does is disable adapters and activate it will connect the Wi-Fi network).
