Thank you for your reply, Joe_Intel.
I have also contacted Asus and I am awaiting their reply. I would however like to point out the following:
- My OEM does not have any wireless adapter lock preventing the installation of another adapter.
- Both my laptop and adapter are functioning.
- I do believe that the Intel 5100 adapter supports my local regulations (Canada).
If you could offer any assistance with the freezing issues I am experiencing, it would be much appreciated.
