Press the orange antenna, and now I can't connect to my wireless router.

Here's my question:

There is this button next to the power button on my laptop which has a glowing orange antenna icon on it. He was always orange (which I don't mind) and never responded to any pressure that I had done in the past... In other words, until today. I was talking to a friend of mine while we were playing an MMO, and I told her how I have this little button that does nothing. They said "Must be a deception." (which, in hindsight was kinda funny) and then * boop *, I can't connect to the internet without connecting an ethernet cable.

I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 - 210US Notebook PC and an Atheros AR5006X wireless network adapter in my laptop.

I tried everything: of a hard reset, to a system restore (which in fact didn't even touch the wireless issue or one of my favorites in Chrome), trying to disable/enable/upgrade to update / restore my wireless card. No rollback option was available. First thing I did was to try to hold the button in the same way that I had the first time (I thought that the problem with a power button had to press on it, silly me.)

My Solution:

Sometimes, the solution is as simple as to be soft and pressing this button antenna for but half a second. And then, above all, be patient!
