    I never had the problem, but I do have Windows XP on my M1330, and if you just go to the Intel website, download and install the latest drivers for your wireless card, you should be good. That's what I did and have not had any problems since.

    Are you having the 3945AG or 4965 Wireless-N network card?
    Did you get the right drivers?

    Don't always assume it is the laptop. Many times the issue is the router, and maybe your security software, laptop and router together.

    Connect using ethernet cable to make sure you can actually log into the router.

    I could not connect to anything until I put my rounter IP address into Norton Internet security.
