This is an invalid and incomplete help request.  You must perform basic
troubleshooting and tell us specifically what is not working, or we
can't really help you.

You mention a "wifi switch".  There is no such thing.  The laptop has a
"wireless ethernet adapter" usually of the 802.11 a/b/g/n standard.  It
will "connect" to a "wireless router" or "wireless access point".

Based on your generic problem report, the issue could be with your
router/AP or it could be with the wireless adapter configuration in
Debian 7.

The lack of detail in your problem report suggests you have never used
Linux, or that you've never participated in a technical forum.  Please
tell us your Linux skill level so we can reply with appropriate level of
instruction.
