Lenovo G580 Windows 8.1 WiFi

Hi there,
I got a Lenovo G580 recently and it works all fine. Except the WiFi which is down now for a day or so. To be precise I couldn't enter the Internet after I did the Update to Windows 8.1. I deleted the Network via "cmd" and connected again but I still don't have Internet. Windows says I should restart the Router etc. and I did but it still doesn't work plus my smartphone is in the same Network and works just perfect.
Any thoughts on what I could do to solve this mess?
And I don't have any options after a rightclick on the WiFi-Network.
Appreciate all help I can get, Thanks
Robert
Hi,
ich hab mir letztens fürs Studium einen Lenovo G580 gekauft und alles klappt wunderbar, bis auf die WLAN-Verbindung, die bis zu meinem Update auf Windows 8.1 von Windows 8 auch problemlos geklappt hat. Jetzt hat er aber ständig ein Problem mit dem Standardgateway o.Ä. und schlägt mir jedesmal vor den Router neuzustarten. Hab ich natürlich auch schon paarmal gemacht, bringt leider nichts. Genauso erfolglos war ich als ich in der Eingabeaufforderung die Verbindung gelöscht und dann wieder verbunden habe. Kein Internet nur die begrenzte Netzwerkverbindung. Und wie es immer vorgeschlagen wird mit Rechtsklick auf die Verbindung zu klicken geht leider auch nicht. 
Hat jemand eine Idee woran es liegt bzw liegen könnte?
Ich kann dringend Hilfe gebrauchen und bin dankbar für jeden Vorschlag!
Gruß,
Robert

  • Lenovo G580 - WIndows 8 - Resizing OS partition & problems with system recovery

    Hello Everybody,
    Just bought a Lenovo G580 notebook with pre installed Windows 8 (500gb harddisk, 4 gb RAM, Intel B960).I have been using Easeus partition manager with Windows 7 & its been working very well.So I wanted to partition my new HDD with it.Upon creating the a new 100gb partition (most importantly from OS partition that was about 428 gb) a very strange thing happened.The Refresh/Reset functions of WIndows 8 stopped working saying required recovery files are missing, also Lenovo One Key recovery program does not work with the message that required service partition is currently unavailable.At the same time, apparently  partition called Windows recovery  (1000 mb, hidden) still exists.One more peculiar thing I noticed & that is there is a new 1mb unallocated partition before the Windows recovery partition.While partitioning I did not receive any message about deleting of any data.One last piece of information (not sure if relevant) is before doing partition I had created a system image that I am unable to restore, Windows 8 repair function recognises the image bit is unable to restore it.
    Any ideas how to restore the System Recovery functions or how to restore the system image.
    Thanks
    Petr

  • Limited WiFi on Lenovo G580

    Good morning.  I work for a school district and we let students bring in their own devices.  I have a student that has a Lenovo G580 running Windows 8 that can't get connected to our WiFi.  We have attempted to connect to both our Guest Network (that is open and has no password) and a password protected network, and both show limited connectivity and give IP addresses of 169.x.x.x.  She can connect fine at home or other locations, just not at school.  Our network is fine because we have hundreds of other devices connected to it and working.  I have reset her network adapter, followed the Windows 8 troubleshooting steps, and run an ipconfig release and renew (which did give me a valid IP one time, but I still couldn't get online.  Every time I've tried it since has timed out on the renew).  I am leery to try any updating of the network adapter since it's her personal machine and, as I said, works fine at home.  Other than that, does anyone have any ideas on why she wouldn't be able to connect here?  Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    With an IP address starting with 169, it means that her computer is not connecting with your router at all, not even on a limited basis. There are several things that could be causing the problem, but the easiest way is if you can run ipconfig on her machine.
    Open a command prompt (all programs > Accessories > Command Prompt) and type in
    Ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt and then hit enter. Then type in ipconfig.txt to open notepad with the log. Copy it and paste it in to your next response.
    But it sounds like she has her computer setup with a static IP address and because of that cannot renew the lease on the IP Address so it is reported as a 169 address. Go into the network and sharing center and click on Setup a new connection or network. Then just follow the instructions. .

  • Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

    Hi,
    I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
    But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
    Link to image
    There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
    i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
     Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for no help guyz!
    but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
    When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
    At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
    Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
    Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
    Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
    Type convert gpt
    Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
    Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

         Your system's Intel Wireless software is left but the.
    Wireless Device is not being detected.
    That atheros there is your Cabled connection and not the wireless
        Your wireless should be Intel.
    Can you try
      Booting into BIOS By turning OFF your Computer.
             Turn it back on and right away start tapping F2.
                  you should be able to boot to this screen
    Now go to Configuration tab and make sure the Wirelesss LAN is enabled. then hit F10 To Save the settings and Exit
      IF ever it is already Enabled,   Disable it and Re enable it then save the settings.
    Make sure to save before going out of BIOS, it should work.

  • Wifi is gone after downloading or sleep modus Lenovo G580

    Hi everyone,
    Can someone help me with a computerproblem I have been troubling with eversince I bought the computer?
    About two weeks ago I bought the Lenovo G580 laptop at the same moment as my little brother.
    Now we are dealing with the same problems eversince: The Wifi connection is gone after closing the laptop and letting it go in sleep mode. The sign in the right bottom corner is still there and it says that it is connected, but when I open Google chrome it won't go any further then the homepage. My little brother has the same problem, although I also have it when I have downloaded something. I know that the Wifi is still working because it still works on my Iphone. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Does the problem occur when you are browsing the web also? I am experiencing wifi problem as well. My wifi connection will stop working and become Limited. Mine will disconnect every 30 minutes or so. I have to disconnect and reconnect again in order to browse the web. My computer is just 2 weeks old.

  • Lenovo g580 2689 windows 8.1

    Hi when are lenovo going to update the drivers for lenovo g580 2689 for windows 8.1 because they have not been updated since december 2012 and i only brought the laptop last year. and the audio driver need updated because it is not compatible with windows 8.1 i had to find the driver that is made for someone elses computer type.

    I tried updating my G580 yesterday to Win 8.1 (so that I can then get to Win 10) The upgrade seemed to go OK until it restarted and then as the desktop loaded the screen started flashing. it then became stuck in a loop with it flashing faster and faster. I am guessing there is some driver or config conflict? Has anyone come across this and if so how do I solve it. I have updated the Intel graphics drivers already thanks

  • Lenovo G580(20157) won't shut down [Windows 7]

    Problem:
    I have a Lenovo G580(20157) with Windows 7(64-bit),
    My BIOS version is 62CN40WW (Phoenix MoBo), and I have a problem with my laptop even though it works and boots up fine it won't shutdown!!
    Troubleshooting:
    I have tried the following:
    1.Do Hardware test - No errors.
    2.Reflash BIOS. - Still won't shutdown
    3.Do a clean boot. (I believe it is a BIOS issue but I still did it anyways...)
    4.Used the boot utility provide at your website but it still doesn't shutdown even in Linux, it is stuck at shutdown message (Arch Linux/Open Suse)
    5.Disabled UEFI
    And all other quick hacks like pressing shift and shutdown, disable BIOS options like  redoing steps 1-5 etc, etc................
    P.S:I have a dual-boot system (Windows + nix) with Legacy boot enabled if it matters. Thanks!

    hi ArchKudo,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Can you consider doing the following:
    1. Turn off the machine and remove the HDD
        - Video Disassembly Guide (see FRU Videos)
    2. Boot from a live Windows or Linux disc/usb (see this guide for Ubuntu and select Try Ubuntu)
    3. After booting from a live disc/usb, see if you can shutdown the machine.
    If the computer turns off properly, try to put the HDD back in place and consider running another scan on the HDD using HD Tune.
     - http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
    If you get a warning or any errors on the Health Tab / Error Scan Tab then it's likely that you have a failing HDD and
    you may need to contact lenovo for warranty service or replace the entire HDD.

  • G580 - pathetic download speed & wifi connectivity

    I had purchased G580 laptop in October & upgraded to windows 8. Since then, the wifi problem has been regular. After   updating the drivers the wifi is mostly. Once in a while I have to restart the router..  That's still OK, but the download speed is really pathetic.
    I have another old Acer Laptop with windows 8 (upgraded) too. I have an 8 MBPS broadband connection. The Acer laptop has 1 Mbps download speed without any hindrance. But, the Lenovo G580 is giving 250kbps downloads, that too with regular stoppages. Another big issue - while.. this dead slow download happens, not even a single webpage opens.. Regular "error loading" messages.
    Kindly help in rectifying the issue as I have updated all the drivers through windows update as well as lenovo site.
    I'm using a bitdefender antivirus, will that have any problem with wifi speed ??
    Kindly advice as the only other option is to discard the laptop.
    thx
    Satish

    hi satishrk1978,
    If you have the Atheros AR9285 Wireless Adapter, you can try to:
    1. Update your wireless card driver to v10.0.0.221, get it here, otherwise skip this step.
    2. Depending on your brand of router (and if applicable), make sure you disable WMM QoS (Wireless Multimedia) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
    3. Use a WPA2-PSK TKIP or AES encryption.
    4. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz), try to use only the 2.4Ghz band.
    5. Temporarily disable any running firewall / antivirus software.
    5. After applying steps 1-5, try running a speedtest again via www.speedtest.net.
    Let me know the result.

  • My New Lenovo G580 - Blue Screen Error

    Hi,
    I have bought a new lenovo G580 (Intel B950/2GB/500GB) with DOS (on Friday - 21 Spetember, 2012).
    I have installed another 2GB RAM in the extra slot. So, I have a total of 2+2 GB RAM now.
    I installed Windows7 in it. It has worked fine for 1 day, but when I installed the G580 bluetooth, wifi drivers, it started crashing with bluescreen creating a dump file. Now I am even unable to start the system. I have formatted the system twice by could not trace it out. I have seen other forums and found out that it is due to some dropbox issues etc., But I have not installed even 1 software. As soon as I installed windows7, I started with the drivers (Drivers DVD came along with my laptop)
    Please help me.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Sudheer,
    If you are able to open windows go to 
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools\Advanced Tools and select the last option to "generate system health report" .If something is wrong with the system or a service windows will flag it for you. If you are not able to open windows and try opening it in the safe mode(press F8 during startup) check for the same.
    Also try opening windows in a clean state 
    In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click Selective Startup on the General tab.
    Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
    Note The Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.
    Click the Services tab.
    Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
    Click Disable All, and then click OK.
    When you are prompted, click Restart.
    If this does not cause a BSOD then I would suspect there is a driver conflict/compatiablity in your system.Can you provide the exact error in the BSOD which you see? 
    Hope this helps 
    Cheers and regards,

  • Lenovo G580(20157) [Win 7] Bluetooth problems??

    I have a lenovo G580(20157) which has a BCM4313 wireless chipset which supports both WiFi as well as Bluetooth, (citation here: Broadcom Chipsets)
    However I can't use the Bluetooth capability of my chipset.....
    I tried downloading drivers from the Lenovo website(Drivers Main Page), but it would say no driver found at the end of the installation!!
    Also I downloaded Lenovo Energy Managment, and it only shows WiFi (here is a screenshot)
    I also tried downloading Broadcom Bluetooth Solution but itis stuck at detetcting device:
    P.S: I have a new windows 7 installation...Thanks

    Go to Solution.

    hi ArchKudo,
    Looking at the G580 parts (page 102 of the HMM), the Broadcom BCM4313 that the machine uses is a Wi-Fi only card .
      - Link to picture
      - Sample item (BCM4313 with Bluetooth)
      - Sample item (BCM4313 Wi-FI only)
    This may explain why you only see the Wi-Fi settings when you press Fn+F5, In this case, you may need to use a usb bluetooth adapter (like this item) to enable bluetooth functionality on the machine.
