raffe,
Try using these Recommended Wireless Router Settings in your wireless router, I use channel 11. I would make a new SSID to make connecting easier.
What is the make and model of your wireless router?
What virus program and firewall are you using?

raffe,
I forgot about the virus program and firewall.
Start, all programs, look and see if you have McAfee, Norton or some other type of virus program installed. Sometimes an expired virus program may cause you not to be able to connect to the internet. I have seen this.

raffe,
I found THIS LINSYS ARTICLE that may be helpful.
Did you use the Recommended Wireless Router Settings (They suggested using WPA2-PSK(TKIP) Security(Personal) and using channel 11. Make a new SSID to make connecting easier. (I use WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security (Personal). I have wireless devices, like printers, cell phones and other wireless devices and they work well with these settings.
Try reading my article, Installing My Wi-Fi Technology
Download the drivers from Intel's website and save them to the desktop.
Make a system restore point.
Start, control panel, device manager, network, right click on the Intel® WiFi Link 5100 AGN adapter, left click uninstall. Tell it to also remove the drivers and software.
Restart your computer.
When you log back in, the new hardware wizard will run and you may get adapter not found or not installed properly. Install the drivers saved to your desktop using the instructions I have in the article.
Then try to connect. What happens?
