Having problem with setting up a wireless connection to CQ40-115AU.

Went through this -


Verify that the AC adapter power settings are correct
Internal wireless networking adapters or PCMCIA cards may have problems connecting to a wireless network if the Power Output settings are not set to 100%. Follow the steps below to verify the correct settings:

1.Click Start and then right-click the Computer icon.

2. Select Properties from the menu list. The System window appears.

3.Select the Device Manager from the left panel of the System window. Accept any prompts that may appear.

4. Click the plus sign (+) next to Network Adapters .

5.Right-click on the WLAN adapter in the list and select Properties .

6.On the Advanced tab select Power Output from the Properties list. The value should be 100%.

If the value is set any number lower than 100% change the value to 100% and then click OK .

7.Close the Device Manager, restart the notebook PC and attempt to reconnect to the wireless network.

Until number 5, there isnt any WLAN adapter detected. Any idea how to solve this ? Basically the lappy isnt with me, its kinda 300km away from me, and I have to guide my sister who is kinda newbie in this computer section. I also headache already now.

Yeah, my sister now having problem connecting to wireless network. The wireless button beside the power button just stay orange colour, while if its connected to network it shud be blue. Any idea guys ?
