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.

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.
