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.

Don't know about the Toshiba (do you?) but my older Dell E1505 laptop
definitely has a wifi switch. It's called "Media Direct." So some laptops
do have one.
