Access connection problem

#1 Post by RasmusP » Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:23 am

Hey,
As the title suggest I have a problem with the ThinkVantage Access Connection app. I recently reinstalled windows and have had some problems getting Access connection to work correctly. I recently re-installed the driver to get the Fn+F5 to work. I am now able to turn off the wireless adapter via Fn+F5. However, when I connect to my wireless network it says the signal strength is zero percent! It is connected and the Windows app says the signal is very high. I am connected to the Internet, but Access Connection seems to think there is no connection . . .
Does anybody know how to solve this annoyances?

Thanks,
Rasmus

What is your thinkpad model? Are you very far away from your router?

Hi,

I had exact same problem after I upgraded my wireless driver today. After spending couple of hours that's how I fixed it.

I uninstalled the wireless driver first after reboot I clicked cancel on window find a new hardware window. I then unistalled the Access Connection app and rebooted. After I installed the wireless driver I rebooted the window again and finally installed the Access Connection app.

Now everything works as it should.

^ I will try your solution. I might work. Thanks!
The TP in question is a T60 type 2007. I do not recall the model number. I recently reinstalled WinXP from scratch.

You can also find some related tips here and here.
