That the SUPPORT ASSISTANT which now pops up WIN 10 issues, neither warns of this incompatibility nor offers any solutions for the 5100 beyond WIN 7.WIN 8, makes the prospect of eventual system replacement drift swiftly away from HP as an option.ĪNY Suggestions for a USB Option to replace the functions of the INTEL WIFI LINK 5100 agn? It would certainly be helpful if HP were to at least try to address this (in support of MANY older machines in which this and like cards are installed). While awaiting a MICROSOFT solution (and not very enthusiastic about reverting to a wired existence again), I am resigned to the fact that I must revert back from WIN 10 to WIN 7 to regain wireless access?ĪND EVEN AS HP no longer actively supports my machine.

Unfortunately, having tried various tweaks as you suggested above, i cannot get the 5100 to work.Ĭertainly, this a WIN 10 issue as opposed to an HP issue. I am very sure that changing one of those advanced settings will allow the 5100 card to work. I was ticked off, so I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing.Ĭould not understand why two older cards worked perfectly and the newer one wouldn't.Ĭhanging the wireless card would be extremely problematic as you are limited to just the cards listed in the service manual and half the time the ones listed in the manual cause the notebook not to boot up until the card is removed.Īlso, if you can't get the Intel 5100 to work, you can forget any of the others listed working on W10. I wish I remembered exactly which setting I changed that made it connect. Try tweaking one of the settings in the advanced settings tab. I went into the advanced settings tab and I think I enabled WMM and the card works just fine and has so ever since. The vice is present in the device manager saw wireless networks but would not connect when I clicked connect. The first two I didn't have to do anything to make them work.

I have 3 HP business notebooks.one has the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3965ABG card, one has the Intel Intel WiFi Link 4965AG card, one has the Intel WiFi Link 5300 wireless card. You may be able to get the card to work if you fiddle with some of the advanced settings on the advanced tab for the card in the device manager.
