Yesterday, I purchased an Asus G60 Republic of Gamers notebook from Best Buy.
The laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium and has a built-in Intel WiFi Link 5100 Wireless-N wireless card.
Today, when I turned the laptop on, the wireless card did not pick up any wireless networks. I tried scanning for them with my old laptop (Toshiba Satellite L-Series), and it found plenty. When I ran Network Diagnostics to try to remedy the problem, it told me to "turn on wireless capability" by either flipping the switch on the front of the notebook or using the function keys. I tried both to no avail.
After this, I tried a System Restore. Yet again, no effect was noticed. I then uninstalled the driver and downloaded and installed the latest driver from Intel's website. Still, nothing happened.
Take it back to best buy and let them figure it out, it should still be under warranty, considering you just bought it yesterday.
