Asus G60 Wireless Problem After Windows Update

There was an issue with my G60VX laptop with an Intel Pro 5100 wireless card. After running windows update,  and installing a new driver update, my wireless stopped working. Do not update! It's kind of too late for that if you're reading this. Anyway, my wireless button was on, and yes I pushed Fn + F2 numerous times without success.

So here's the solution I found:

Press Fn + F2, then quickly press the Enter key, and you'll see the grayed out wireless icon on your screen light up with color, along with a checkmark next to it.

Next, put your laptop into sleep mode. Turn the laptop back on. And voila, your wireless should be good to go.
