My Lenovo R61e Thinkpad laptop will not connect wirelessly to Internet. The wireless light doesn't come on and the wireless switch is turned on. I tried pushing the FN + F5 button with no response. I checked the Network adaptor and Wireless adaptor drivers and computer says they are working properly, but something is not working. When I scanned for driver updates there were none to be found. How do I fix it?
Well there are many reasons but from what you've
said it can only be the Switch itself or your Router's
Firmware needs to be updated.
Go to Start: Type cmd in the command prompt Type
ipconfig press Enter look for the default gateway that's
your Routers IP Type the IP number into your Browsers
url or address bar press Enter. Once inside your Router
or Modem/Router view tabs and look for Update Firmware
Follow Prompts If this does not fix your problem then you
must further look into the Wireless Switch the Light is the
Switches Confirmation that it is Working Properly. Also a
Driver will not cause this Function to not work and I know
you said the Drivers are Good and pls don't be Mad but has
the Adapter been Enabled with the Assumption your Computer has an RJ45 port for hard wiring.
Stay Positive and We'll Figure this Out.

Some Lenovo and ThinkPad computers have a LED light that is located on the top edge of the screen and can shine a light on the keyboard.
To switch on this LED light, press the Fn key plus the PgUp key (This key maybe different on some model laptops).
