    After much troubleshooting I've determined that my T430s will only connect to an AP on the 5ghz broadcast. Here are the error messages when I troubleshoot the connection...

    "verify that the encryption settings (wep/tkip/aes) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network"

    "verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless network"

    I've verified that it will connect to the 5ghz on two different routers so I expect the second message is the correct one but how my system came to being restricted I can't determine. Nor can I figure out how to fix it.

    I should also mention that I have a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
