hey Alphapoint,
try this, uninstall the Wifi LAN drivers. let Windows install its generic drivers.
test your connection with the generic drivers. See if that works, then install the drivers from our support site but before you install it, go to MSCONFIG and set your unit to Diagnostic mode first before installing.

About Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN

Hi there guys,
it's my first post on this forum even although I should've asked here first. I have the same problem with the network wifi adapter as mentioned in the previous thread with this subject: it happens to disconnect and after that it doesn't appear in Device Manager for some time. Ussually I go there 'scan for hardware changes' and it appears back, but sometimes it doesn't come back for good and I need to restart my laptop.
So..this is quite sad. I've read all the opinions about this and all solutions so far and nothing worked for me.
I checked my driver on Intel and it says:
Product Detected
Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN
Current Driver Installed
14.3.2.1
This device is unknown or unsupported. Please contact the manufacturer for possible updates.
So I downloaded their newer driver which is 15.3 and still the driver version remains 14.3.
This is becoming quite annoying becouse it happens to disconnect right when I am downloading or writing an email.
Did someone from tech support found a solution for this? please! I would appreciate a lot. Thank you.
p.s. I am running win8 pro.

According to the read-me file for the 15.* series drivers from Intel, they DO NOT support the 5300 AGN card.

Access Connections 5.02 and Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN

Has somebody else come across that the new Access Connections 5.02 is incompatible with the Intel's 5300 AGN Wlan card deployed in ThinkPad T400? I have verified that the right driver (newest => 12.00.4000) is installed for the card in Windows XP, newest Access Connections software (5.02), Power Management Driver (/ACPI => v1.50) and Hotkey (v2.08.2008) utility.
We use Microsoft's RIS to deploy Windows workstations with Windows XP SP3 and creating the image for our one and only T400 has been, to put mildly, tricky.
The problem is that Access Connections (triggered through Fn+F5) is not able to power off or power on the WLAN card. It is able to work with the Bluetooth radio, but not the WLAN.
Going through the README for Access Connections reveals T400 is one of the supported models, but Intel WiFi Link 5300 is not mentioned in the wireless adapter list. 5100 is, but not 5300. Now I'm not sure if the Lenovo's documentation is just not up-to-date, or what?
Has anyone else been affected by this? The laptop came pre-installed with Vista SP1, but I did not even bother to load it even once, since I always just start creating RIS image for new ThinkPad models.

The 5300 is definitely listed on some of the standard T400 configurations, and is also a selectable option on the CTO configurations, so there is no doubt that the 5300 should be a supported card for the T400.

It's your call what you do, but my advice is to always fire up the vendor installed environment for any new configuration that comes to hand and make sure that everything works as expected before blowing it away with some other SOE.
That establishes a baseline for what may or not be workable, which is an essential element for later troubleshooting in a custom OS load.

T500 - Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN Driver

I purchased my T500 within the first week Lenovo had it available for US consumers to order. I was assured the machine was going to come with a WiMax card. I gave it to my daughter to use. We never tested WiMax since we did not have WiMax in our city until October of last year. Came to find out, our machine did not come with a WiMax card as was promissed. It has in it the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN card instead. Needless to say, I no longer feel comfortable ordering from Lenovo anymore. We got seven laptops in the house. Five of which are ThinkPads. However, we've moved over to Samsung after this unpleasant experience.
Today I wanted to see if there's an updated version of the driver I'm running for my WiFi card, to my unpleasant surprise, the driver for the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN card in my T500 does not exist anywhere at www.lenovo.com. I only see drivers for the Intel 5150 and the Intel 5350 cards.
Does anybody out there have any idea where I can find the latest driver for the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN in my duped T500 laptop?
Thank you in advance for your help.

In the T500 driver matrix you will find the following entry;
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000,
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200/ 6205,

Does W500 Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN) talk 802.11n w/ Linksys WRT160N?

The subject line pretty much says it all*. Does anyone have any concrete experience with 802.11n on a newer Thinkpad with the "Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN)" card talking to a Linksys WRT160N? With Fedora?

Hello Joe,
I"m running into a simuliar problem but a bit more generic. I'm using SuSE11.1RC5 which should support this hardware in the kernel. I can see all the accesspoints around me but cannot connect. Even when I set mine to open I don't get any results. I undestand that I'm running a prelease version, but one would think if it can hear, it should be able to connect.
The hardware works fine under Windowz. (W500 with the Intel Link 5300 (AGN))

Home Network Router for T500 w/Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN)

I just purchased a new T500 notebook (Type 2242-34U) and am interested in setting up a home network. I have broadband cable hooked up to my Dell PC (Time Warner/Roadrunner). My T500 comes with Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN). Any advice and/or recommendations with regards to the model/type of router is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Get a Cisco/Linksys WRT-610N.
As Small Net Builder says.....
But if you're looking for a reasonably-priced dual-band, dual-radio draft 11n router, the 610N continues the 600N's tradition of being the only viable game in town.

I'm using a Linksys WRT-600N (the previous model) with 4965AGN and 5300AGN cards in various ThinkPads and have been very satisfied with the 802.11n performance.

W500 Intel wifi Link 5300 AGN- No N?

I have a W500 with Win 7 x64. I have the Intel wifi link 5300 AGN wireless card and the Intel drivers, 14.3.2.1
In Device Manager, Advanced tab, it shows those settings for 802.11n properties. But at the bottom of the list, Wireless Mode, it only shows 802.11a/b/g. There is no N mode. Is this card capable of N speeds wirelessly? Thank you for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"N" isn't a specific mode you set on the wireless card, the options should be various mixtures of A, B, and G listed.
802.11B and 802.11G are both in the 2.4Ghz range, which everything and it's brother uses including microwaves, cordless phones, etc. So it's very noisy, but common. 802.11G is the higher-speed version of 802.11B; if anything on given wireless frequency 'channel' only supports 802.11B, everything on that channel is limited to 802.11B.
A is in the 5.0Ghz range, and 802.11A is the *ONLY* thing there; it's also a much lesser-used standard, you need specific wireless routers that support it, etc. If you can use it, do so.
802.11n is actually an 'upgrade' to the others, allowing multi-channel bonding, and very wide channels, both of which increase bandwidth a LOT.
But for example on both my T61p and W530 my "Wireless Mode" options are: a, b, g, b/g, a/g, a/b/g. I have a separate "802.11n Mode" option of enabled/disabled in the Advanced tab on my wireless card.

T61p Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965 AGN driver upgrade

Hi,
I have T61p (XP 32bit) with wifi Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965 AGN. Recently I tried to upgrade driver to version 13.xxxx but after installing the driver the wifi card doesn't work. To make it work I had to revert the driver to version lower then 13. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks

did you download the Lenovo driver, or did you down load the driver from Intel?
Lenovo writes alot of their own drivers for things like wifi cards, its possible that by downloading Intel's driver, it isn't compatable with thinkpads.

Regarding using wwan in T400 with Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN

Hello,
Im interested to use of WWAN in my laptop, My is Thinkpad T400, having with Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
please guide me with process accesing the simcard slot in laptop.
Waiting for your reply.
With Regards
Santhosh

Hi,
I believe the SIM card slot is in the battery bay. Remove the battery to access.
That Intel 5100 is a wifi card, not a wwan card. Do you also have a wwan card installed, or is that what you are asking about?
Information on both (SIM and wwan card installation) is in the hardware maintenance manual: Hardware Maintenance Manual - T400 & R400

E3000 Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN Disconnect Reconnect

I am on version 1.0.04 and my wireless adapter Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN keeps disconnecting and reconnecting? Anyone with similar problems found a fix?

Is the wireless connection dropping on all the computers or only on one wireless computer?
Make sure that drivers of the wireless adapter are updated.

Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN not connecting

I am having an issue getting the Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN on my HP Pavilion dv7-1275dx to connect to my wireless router (Zyxel P334WT). It would intermittently connect, then drops off for no apparent reason, and then refuses to connect for days. I contacted HP support and we spent three hours trying to fix the problem, to no avail. Strangely enough, when I stick my Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapter into the computer, I am able to connect to my network with no problem. The computer runs Windows Home Vista 64 bit. Thanks in advance for your help.

ok everybody you are not the only one my pavilion dv6000 has the exact problem and i just sent it to hp to get my motherboard changed and i still have problems btw <text deleted> Message Edited by adybotchev on 07-23-2009 01:46 AMMessage Edited by adybotchev on 07-23-2009 01:47 AMMessage Edited by WendyM on 07-23-2009 07:08 AM

Hi
Check if Wlan card use the Draft N standard.
You can choose this in device manager -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab
As far as I know the WLan card is Intel 5100AGN.
Check if an WLan driver update would help too

Wifi Upgrade to Intel Wifi Link 5300

I bought my Lenovo T500 last year in summer (2009). It came with a b/g wifi card and I want to upgrade it to Intel Wifi Link 5300 but it seems lenovo.com has stopped selling this card. I also heard that not all 5300 cards are compatible with Lenovo Thinkpads. Could anyone tell me if this card is compatible or not? If not, any suggestions?

Thank You.

you still can get this part from IBM parts in USA. Those card on the Amazon and Ebay are not from Lenovo, therefore they are will not work in the machines without a modified bios.

Upgrade U110 with WiFi Link 5300

Can the U110's wireless card be upgraded to use Intel's WiFi Link 5300?

I'm sure the WiFi Link 4965agn should work, bu I'm curious as to whether the 5300 mini-pcie card would be recognized by the U110 since it would make more use of my wireless router.

Wifi Link 5300 only shows 54Mbps on 5Ghz

Using a T500 with its Intel wireless card Wifi Link 5300, XP Pro SP3, and Netgear router N900 (WNDR4500). Configured router to use WPA2-AES. Intranet transfers to my Netgear ReadyNAS (Duo v2) are slow. Using a lan wired connection the transfer rate is about 38Mbps and the wireless rate is 15Mbps on either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. (transfer test used Totu Softs Lan Speed Test) Interesting the Windows tray icon for wireless connections show "Speed: 54Mbps" for both.
Should the 54Mpbs be showing at a higher rate?
Should the transfer rates be higher?
Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Still no success for a faster rate. Did what you outlined and here's the results:
