Connecting to Virgin Superhub with Intel

I have a Dell Vostro 1400 and am trying to connect to my flat mate's Virgin Media Superhub. I am using Intel PROSet/Wireless Connection Utility. First of all I select the correct available network, then press next. I then type in the Device Ownership Password/WPS PIN, then click next. It then retrieves the network name, security type (WPA2), and password (key). I can change them, but I keep them the same. I press next. It then starts the configuration process, and every time, "Failed to get the wireless settings. Configuration failed." I have tried this about ten times, and tried selecting 'no security', just to see if that works. I have also restarted the laptop many times. Can anyone help? Need to get this working asap.

SOURCE: DELL E6400 Connect to wireless Modem problem

I have the EXACT same problem on the same computer.
I'm not an expert so I searched online but didn't really find a lot of responses to this Dell issue. One suggestion was to turn off Intel PROset and let Windows manage the wireless connection.
That worked for me.
When in the Intel PROset menu, click on Advanced, then click on "Let windows manage your wireless set-up."
Alternatively, you can toggle between the two software by pressing F10.
This solution worked for me.

Virgin superhub (netgear) router

The purple lit up thing badged Virgin media, it's a button as well as the indicator by colour.

I used to have the same problem and installed a wireless access point that professionals use in schools and factories. You couple to the saucer shaped thing with cable and it does Wi-Fi cable free for miles. I can follow the signal more than 20 houses away.

Virgin media superhub has stoped streaming - cant locate Mezzmo server

I had similar problems when I moved to the SuperHub - my TV could stream from my PC via my old Router but couldn't connect when using the SuperHub.
At first I thought (and was incorrectly told on here) that the SuperHub doesn't support DLNA, but what it turned out to be was that when attached via the SuperHub the TV was allocated a different IP address and my Firewall (ZoneAlarm) automatically blocked it (which I only realised from looking at the firewall logs).
For some reason ZoneAlarm had automatically allowed the TV through when I originally connected it to the old Router with no setup needed from me, but it had automatically blocked it when I connected it to the SuperHub. Adding the TV IP address to the ZoneAlarm "Trusted Zone" sorted it out.
Although this may not be your problem, and I was using TVMOBiLi rather than Mezzmo, it might be worth looking at your Firewall etc., because I incorrectly assumed it was down to the SuperHub because that was the only "new" thing in the previously working DLNA system.
