Wi-Fi always stays off. How to enable?
Hi, my UX305FA (Win10) has this red X on its Wi-Fi symbol, it saids "Not connected - No connections are available" when mouse over. The wi-fi toggle in NETWORK & INTERNET settings always stay off. And the wifi device option is grey-out in the Airplane mode page. Network adaptor is enabled correctly in Device Manager. It seems like the wifi is disabled by some kind of hardware switch.
I have try booting into Ubuntu (by usb) to confirm. Problem remains, and the wifi message is "Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch" .
Does anyone know if there is any hardware Fn key on this laptop to enable the wifi? There is none that I can find. The only network related Fn key is the airplane mode Fn+F2.
Any suggestion?

For anyone having a problem with ASUS laptops, F5R specifically, I personally never noticed that I moved the _physical_ switch (rather than the Fn+F2 combo) on the left side of the notebook which hardware-locked the wifi. Curiously, on a cold start in Ubuntu/Elementary wifi works, but after a reboot it doesn't. F5R owners make sure to check that the switch is in on position.
