My WiFi is disabled.
I have an asus r704v laptop and there is no hardware switch to turn WiFi on/off, thus I cannot go online using WiFi.
The driver is the correct one for the realtrek card. How do I switch my WiFi on?

I think your Wifi adapter is blocked. you can unblock your WiFi adapter by using sudo rfkill unblock all command in Terminal (use Ctrl+Alt+T to open).
This is not an Ubuntu issue. This is not any driver issue. This is caused by me (and possibly you).
While watching some video... I tried to increase volume with:
Fn + F10
key combination ... But I mistakenly pressed
Fn + F12
which was Wifi button
with 'Radio' symbol on it, which disabled my wifi connection.
Running below command in Terminal, you can see the issue:
> rfkill list all
0: Toshiba Bluetooth: Bluetooth #or whatever it is
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes `<------ that's because I press Wifi button (above) mistakenly
Solution: Press again the Fn + F12
(or, some other key where you have Radio symbol)
Now run again the same command:
> rfkill list all
0: Toshiba Bluetooth: Bluetooth #or whatever it is
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
<------ no means solved.
Now, go to:
(Windows button, if you have on the keyboard) > Settings > Wifi > move to On > select your Wiki connection to enter credentials
Done, your internet is back on.

I hope this works ...
