Hi.

My Son got a new laptop, Lenovo N500.
Problem is it has a Intel Wireless Pro 5100 adapter, which finds wireless networks in the area incl. ours. But fails at the association stage all the time. I put in the correct passcode, which doesnt make any difference.
He can connect via cable straight away with no problems, but the Wireless fails all the time.

Please please help.

The logon name and the wep/wap number must be exactly the same as when you first setup the internet. (cable)

Thanks for your reply.
They are all excactly the same. But it just doesnt want to "Hand shake"/Associate.
I will try my wifes wireless card in it instead.Swap them over.To see if that works.
