Access Connection​s on an Ideapad U350

As far as I can find out, Access Connections is not officially supported on the U350.  I downloaded it, installed it, and it does seem to work.  There are a few cases I have seen a pop-up about it not being supported on this platform. I am using Windows 7.
So here are my questions:
1. Does anyone else have experience running Access Connections on a U350?
2. Does Lenovo plan to make a version of Access Connections available that will support the U350?
Best Regards
Alfred Christensen

there is an application called "readycom" for ideapad but you may have issue with wireless connections if you install it.

  • Access Connections and Tools won't install properly

    I have followed advice uninstalled the wireless driver, access connections, hotkey, power manager. . Reinstalled all ( latest versions) except access connection. Wireless connections work correctly and all hot keys function appropriately ( including Fn +F5 ). Then I let TVSU download Access connections. An icon is placed in the task tray. Clicking on it nothing happens. Also none of the hot keys work including the blue ThinkVantage key. Once I uninstall Access connection I am back in business with the wireless connection and the hot keys working. ( for all these installs I turned off the Microsoft virus scanner and the firewall).
    Have similar problem with ThinkVantage tools in that I get the Icon in the task tray and then the program freezes. No problem in reinstalling  PC doctor5

    Hi dulverton,
    I find lenovo drivers and software rather eccentric; since they need to be installed in a particular order to work properly.
    First uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
    Further this is the order in which the following drivers must be installed for each of them to function desirably:- 
    1) Lenovo PM driver
    2) Lenovo System Interface Driver
    3) Hotkey driver
    4) Wireless driver software [reboot]
    5) Access Connections [reboot]
    Hope it helps.

  • Almost all Access Connection controls grayed out

    Hi folks,
    Could use some help. I have a T-60 and Access Cnnections 4.23a. Worked fine until recently and now most contrals are grayed out. For example, in manage profiles I cannot create, edit or delete.
    I can switch profiles and I do connect, but even items like update AC are grayed.
    These kind of things scare me a bit. I am loathe to uninstall or update manually as I have a number of connections and cannot even view them to copy before I try and I would hate to try to remember the ssids, passwords, etc. And worse, chance losing connectivity.
    Can anyone help here?
    If it comes down to removing AC, I have not used windows networking in so liong I forget how that functions. Can I make all these profiles in Windows? Will it switch automatically (my favorite feature of AC)?
    Thanks.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad U350 wireless card update

    Hello!
    I got a Lenovo IdeaPad U350, it should be model # 2963-47U (specs. here) with half-size mini-pcie wireless adapter with Broadcom BCM4312 chip which supports only .11bg. This card connects to antennas by two feedlines.
    And I want to upgrade it with Intel 5100 which is .11agn and costs only about $6 on eBay. There is empty full-size slot for the card and even two unused feedlines that go right to the point. Sorry I have no photos right now.
    So I have two questions:
    Shold I detach old wireless card before install new one? Cause I know that if both of them plug to the same antennas they can burn each others receivers;
    Is there some other convenient wireless cards with 2 uFL connectors with is cheaper, better or more reliable? I actually not need .11a (5GHz range) as much as just .11n support.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    That 2nd slot is probably for a WWAN card.  I don't think that a WLAN card will be recognized there.

  • Turning Bluetooth on and off w/o Access Connection​s Vista Ultimate/T​61p

    This might be a very noob type question but I haven't been able to find an answer...  I've gotten rid of Access Connections because of how much it bogged down my system.  In fact, the only programs i'm running now from Lenovo is the fingerprint reader and Active Protection.
    Problem is, how do you turn bluetooth on and off in vista alone?  

    Have you tried Fn-F5?

  • Vista SP2 and Access connections requiring manual reconnect

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing a problem after the installation of Windows Vista SP2 on my Vista Business. After a reboot, I must always manually 1) disconnect the WLAN connection and then 2) reconnect to establish a working WLAN connection and to gain access to Internet. Before I disconnect, the WLAN connection is alive, but I cannot access any websites. Everything worked just fine before installation of SP2.
    I'm running Access connections version 4.42 on Thinkpad R61. I've read that someone has had a similar problem with wired LAN and with newer version of Access connections: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistasp/thread/17ba267e-0bb1-4621-b81f-04afa0d806...
    Does someone know how to solve this issue and make the connection to work without a manual disconnect -> reconnect step?
    BR,
    Miika

    After some searching, I found a working solution:

  • T400 Vista vs Access Connections

    (I hope this doesn't show up twice.  My first try failed with an undecipherable server error)
    Basically, wifi is unusable on my new T400 when running Vista Ultimate or Vista Business 64.  If I run XP it works just fine.  All 3 are stock Lenovo OEM installs from factory media.
    My home wifi router is sitting close to the laptop.  W/Vista, I can usually see it via "find" but usually can't connect.  Occasionally after rebooting I can.  Sometimes I can't even see it in find.  W/XP on this T400, or with XP on my T61, it works as expected.
    I suspect confiicts between Vista wifi management and Access Connections.  With XP, one could solve this by unchecking the "let windows manage..." box in wifi properties.  There doesn't seem to be such an option in Vista.   I have tried disabling the windows "Zero Configuration" service (WLAN Autoconfig after SP1) but that doesn't help.  Without that service, AC can't even turn on the radio.  Worse (!) I can't turn the radio on manually via Fx-F5 either.  Bluetooth yes, wifi no.
    It looks like AC actually uses some/all of the WLAN Autoconfig function.
    One thing I haven't tried yet is uninstalling AC and just using the Vista wifi management.  Even if that works, it gives up a lot in terms of profile management.
    I welcome any suggestions.  As it stands, this shiny new T400 is unusable.   It's a nice little machine, but this isn't the first of the frustrations....
    Thanks,
    Z

    Unfortunately, I need to use this thing on the road as well as at home, so a fixed IP address isn't an option since I won't know what subnet(s) will be in use.  I experienced the same problems last weekend at two hotels and in the Denver airport, so it isn't my router.
    I have done quite a bit more experimentation with this problem, without any resolution.  I do notice that when it fails Vista thinks it is connected, but only locally.  It has assigned a 169... address which I take to mean that DHCP has failed.  Trying a command: ipconfig /renew fails with an error.
    If I let  it fail, then reboot, it usually will succeed as long as I try to connect to the same access point that failed before the reboot.
    I tried uninstalling Access Connections, but Vista has the same problem(s) when it is doing the management!  Failed connections, local only connections, and often success after a reboot.  One interesting and nasty difference is that when using the Windows management w/out Access Connections, wired connections will also fail in the same way!
    I see many, many people on the web who are having similar problems.   Some of the threads go back more than a year with no resolution.
    I have gone around and around with IBM/Lenovo support.  They have escalated the problem to a series of lead techs who never return phone calls.  Very disappointing, since the first tier techs are quite friendly and helpful - and generally return calls.
    My next step is to go back to the nice man who handles escalations from the sales side, and ask him where to send this piece of junk.   It boggles my mind that Microsoft and Lenovo will put this kind of half-baked crap in the marketplace, and then do nothing to get it working.

  • Access Connections issues w L512

    I have a Lenovo L512 - 444CTO, running Windows 7, i5 processor, 4gb ram, 500gb hd
    it has the adapter 11b/g/n wireless LAN mini-PCI express Adapter II
    both at my home and at my office, both of which have wireless internet, it will log on initially and get good signal and work, but within ~10 minutes of being on the internet, it for no reason stops working.  The Access Connections menu says that it is still connected with strong signal.  But the small "network" icon in the bottom right shows the  yellow-triangle exclamation point, and says "no internet access," despite the fact that all other computers at both the home and office continue to work without interruption. 
    it is not a problem with the networks, as multiple other computers on the same network in both places work without interruption. 
    this laptop was purchased because i have online live synchronous classes this spring for my Graduate program, and I need to be able to get online and stay online to participate in them. 
    Any ideas as to why this might be happening or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. 
    there is no firewall on either of the wireless providers that I use, and i have checked that the wireless radio is turned on.  the troubleshooting for the network icon tells me it finds nothing it can do. 
    Solved!

    Hello mate,
    It's possible that you need to deselect the option "Allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive" found under Global settings.
    Launch Access Connections>Tools>Global Settings. Deselect it and see if that fixes your problem.

  • How to stop Access Connections from automatically connecting to WAP at turn on or restart?

    I had a problem with my X200 winxp sp3 wireless connection. I got it working OK again but in the process I did something that changed the action of Access Connections when I turn on or restart the machine where it automatically connects to the WAP whereas before it did not do this, rather it required a manual connection. For the life of me I can't find the setting that controls this behavior...can anyone point me in the right direction.
    thanks for any feedback
    *Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

    Might not answer completely, but what is your "profile" set to? I have a "profile" called Office that wll only use the "hardwire" LAN Connection. I have another "profile" called Mobile that will only use the Intel Wireless card, yet another that is "HSPA Modem" that will only use the AT&T wireless card.
    Could it be that your "profile" is set to use just your Wireless Connection?
    Just a thought -

  • Access Connections Ethernet Location Switching only saves one port at a time

    Like many other people, I cannot get automatic location switching between two Ethernet networks to work properly.
    I have two stored network locations;  one for home and one for work.  Both of these are set up as Best Available Network with both Ethernet and Wireless.
    Under Tools - Location Switching, both networks are listed, and "Include Ethernet connections in automatic switching and prompt me to save Ethernet ports"  is checked.    However, in the details column, the current location has 1 saved port(s), and the other has 0 saved ports.    The saved port is always the one most recently connected.  
    If I go to Edit Saved Ports, only one location is listed, with the correct IP address and MAC address for the router.   If I connect at the other location, only that location is listed, again with the correct IP address and MAC address.
    The router IP addresses are different (work is 192.168.0.1, and home is 192.168.1.254), and obviously the MAC addresses are different, so it should be possible for Access Connections to distinguish them.  Unfortunately the only "editing" that is possible is to delete the saved port.  I would be happy to add a saved port manually, but that is not an option.  In addtion, despite the "...prompt me to save Ethernet ports" being checked, I have never received a prompt.  Even if I delete the saved port, it resaves automatically next time without any prompt.
    I have also tried setting up both locations as Ethernet only, but have exactly the same problem.
    My T520 was supplied with Access Connections 5.85 preinstalled.  I tried upgrading to 5.97 in the hope that it had been fixed in the meantime.  Unfortunately it has not.
    Access Connections is still marginally useful to me for automatic switching between Wireless and Ethernet, and for a simple manual switch of settings such as default printer, home page, and file sharing.  However, it would be very useful for the home and work locations to be autodetected and switched.  
    From the number of unresolved questions on this board on the same topic, it appears that this is a long standing deficiency with Access Connections.  Is there any chance of this being fixed?

    I found from another bulletin board that ethernet location switching seemed to work OK with Access Connections 3.82, but stopped working with releases after that, and from my experience still does not work with 5.97
    http://www.thinkpads.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=38514
    Two questions:
    1. Does anyone know if Access Connections 3.82 works with Windows 7?
    2. If so, where could I get a copy?  The oldest version on the Lenovo website appears to be 5.50
    I will refrain from commenting on the necessity of going back to such an old version to recover basic functionality for this utility......

  • Access Connections 5.3 doesn't see wireless

    Suddenly Access Connections can no longer see any wireless networks -- even though the Windows wireless manager connects fine.  There are other similar recent posts but without a solution that works.
    T41 Type 2373
    WinXP SP3
    Access Connections 5.3
    Atheros a/b/g wireless lan mini PCI, with driver v4.1.2.156
    Hotkey features 1.31.0610
    Solutions I've tried already:
    Ran sys update to get latest versions
    turned off firewall
    removed Access Connections including all profiles
    removed wireless adapter driver
    removed hotkey features
    rebooted
    reinstalled Hotkey, Wireless driver, and Access Connections
    rebooted
    turned off firewall again during connection attempt
    Access Connections fails to connect wirelessly (but connects OK hardwired)
    The Connections Status window shows wireless radio not turned on Error Code 16  (even though the radio is on).  When I run repair, the error changes to code 9 - no wireless networks in range (even though more than one is in range).  I can connect via WinXP wireless mgr with no problem.
    Thanks for any help!

    well i don't have xp on my machine and it is a t61 so what i can assist with is limited. (vista business access connections 5.31) i've reviewd you troubleshooting steps but first i do have to ask since it was a sudden change do you recall installing updates or changeing any settings? if you have it set for automatic backups check to be sure everything is ok there. i wouldn't normaly suggest system restore since it messes with the registry and I'VE seen it do some damage but enymachine and user is different so you can give that a try if you can't at all recall what may have happened.  you can find by going to start-->all programs-->accessories-->system tools
    but just thinking off the top of my head in the advanced menu under details you change you global settings so that it wont power off the radio in any instance (but probably wont change since you can connect using the windows config) and be sure it is powered on by press fn+f5 along with checking for the wirless switch at the front of your computer, the t41 is a lil oder than mine so it may not have. and along with those drivers that you updated try updating (not uninstalling and reinstalling) the power managment driver. i know when i install my own os it runs a lot better to install you chipset and powermanagement drivers first. (that i i sugges to update and not uninstall) and since its giving an error that  it can't power on thats what i can suggest.
    p.s. under tools there should be diagnostics to where you can check to see if you enabled the error logging, if yo uhave that might provide further assistance.
    p.p.s. i've looked up on a few other topics and it prob makes a difference with xp instead of vista because when selecting which tool to configure your wirless connection can cause an issue. but i mainly see this with older versions of access connecctions. so i guess i good question is if you were able to use windows to view and connect while you were using access connections?

  • X201 Access Connection​s doesn't recognize WiFi card

    Hi
    A week or so ago I ran Lenovo System Update, which prompted me to update the drivers for my WiFi card (Intel 6200-AGN). After the update Access Connections can no longer recognize the card. Windows still connects automatically to wireless networks through the built-in software, but Access Connections not working is really bothering me.
    I've tried rolling back the wireless drivers (my current version is now 14.3.0.6, dated 10/27 2011), but with no luck. As far as I can see, there have been no updates to Access Connections for quite a while (it's hard to tell due to system update itself recently being updated), but is it worth a try uninstalling it and reinstalling an older version? My current version is 5.97, oddly the version listed on the support page for the x201-3626 is 5.62, but all my Lenovo software comes from Lenovo System Update.
    Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
    Solved!

    It's a new version AC related issue. Uninstall it and install previous version 5.93, manually.
