Great Solution! THANKS!!!
Fn5 on T61 brought up different window. I found the correct window under ThinkVantage Button/ThinkVantage Technologies/Access Connections/ … then the third drop down menu ‘configure’ has the above mentioned ‘global settings’

Thanks so much! Retyping my wireless password every 5 seconds was DEFINITELY getting annoying!

Hi there. I was able to fix it, thanks to this thread. I was unable to get Fn F5 to get me the control that was mentioned at the top of this page. But someone mentioned KILLac.exe. I had it on my laptop, just not in the location mentioned. I did a search for it from Control Panel. From the results, I asked it to open the folder (right click for this option). I saw a setup.exe file, so I double clicked. It brought up a utility, and I asked it to “Repair” something. That seems to have worked – So far! If it doesn’t, I’ll update this blog. THANK YOU!

Also, check the properties of your wireless connection and ensure that the box titled “Wireless Intermediate Drive” is ticked. I am unsure how but mine was unchecked and so the radio would not respond.

yeah you’re the man! it worked. i was worried why is that happening. i’ve been waiting for the correct ‘system update’ but still it wasn’t working.

the wierd thing bout my wireless is it used to be normal, just couple days ago it started.

thx anyway.
