Wireless problems with Lenovo Thinkpad T61

Hi all,

I have an end user with a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 that cannot locate the wireless network we have set up in our office. "No wireless networks were found in range" is the message we get when trying to locate our network using the Wireless Network Connection utility. I checked Device Manager to see if his wireless card (Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG) was disabled or not functioning properly, but it is working fine. All the required drivers are also installed.

The router we use at the office is a Linksys WRT160N V3. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?

-Anton

First, welcome to TechSpot, good to have you here. I’m somewhat new myself, so I’m still figuring things out. Now, I know this may be elementary for you, but here’s a link to the Windows Vista networking help page: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...4dedb1033.mspx.

I’m not terribly familiar with the T61 (worked mostly with 43s). Does it have a physical WiFi on/off switch? Sometimes those can be the culprits.

Cheers,

There is no phisical WiFi on/off switch. In any case, as I said before, the Device Manager says that the wireless card is installed and functioning properly, so I would assume that the card is switched on.

Anyone else have any ideas?
