OK all,

Tried as a last effort, before finding the bucket of paint.

Borrowed an USB dongle from my daughter (big protest :-), and got
success in the first try.

This message is actually from my laptop, connected with the wireless
dongle.

Conclusion must be that something in the wireless driver for the
Thinkpad is incompatible with the router ..

Very unlikely. Something else is going on.
