Access Connections wifi - maximum power savings - lenovo fix it yet?

Same problem as reported here and it's still happening to me on all T and X series (that is all I use).
The defualt setting is maximum power savings for the wifi profile in Access Connections. This setting eorks 25% of the time, so it's basically useless and must be changed (i use max performance). This makes it nearly impossible for people to connect to wifi hotspots outside of the ones I create for them for our offices.
Of course the settings either change back to maximum power savings on their own, or during an Access Connections or driver update, so all hell breaks loose here.
Please Lenovo, when the F$#* are you going to fix this?  It's only been 2 years. Should I check back in 2015?

Is this driver setting directly tied to the "performance" setting in the Access Connections profiles? I was under the assumption that the Access Connections performance settings had more to do with WLAN radio power than powering off the radio when idle. I haven't found anything in the Lenovo Power Manager that has an effect on the behavior of the performance settings when creating new profiles in Access Connections.
I'll test the suggestion on disabling power management for the adapter. Does anyone know off hand what impact this may have with Access Connections own tools, such as powering the adapter on and off, waking up from hybernate or suspend, etc.?

  • Text problems on X40 Access Connection​s and Power Manager

    Recently, and possibly in conjunction with a recent Lenovo update, Access Connections and Power Manager (at the least, there may be other programs that have problems too, but I have not checked all) display all text as little boxes.  The functionality is still there, but it is kind of hard to figure out what's what.  I have PM 1.6.3 (just installed the latest), but not sure of version of Access Manager, as I can't see it.
    I can email a screen shot if needed, but could not figure out how to put one in here.  Any help would be most appreciated.

  • Access connections 5.85 cannot run on this profile

    Hello to lenovo forum.
    I had installed on my lenovo 3000 n500 so far all new access connections packages with no problem till version 5.72.
    From version 5.83 and now already 5.85 i get on start up an error saying ac cannot run on this platform.
    However i can connect to internet smoothly and i can access ac user interface from start-programs menu since tray icon also misses from desktop.
    My notebook is
    Lenovo N500 (4233-4AG) 32 bit
    Operating System:Windows Vista Service Pack 2
    Now here starts my analysis of queries.
    1. from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-67283
    we can see that supported systems are among others Lenovo N100, N200 ,and this is common for versions 5.83-5.85 and earlier ones.
    so my n500 is supported from both versions 5.85 and 5.72,since ac drivers for n series work on 100 200 and 500 series.
    2.So i guess it's a matter of prerequisites.
    Now let's compare Software and Device Driver requirements Before installing ThinkVantage Access Connections
    a.for version 5.85 that's latest which misfunctions for me when installed
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-67283
    with b. version's 5.72 prerequisites which is the last smoothly working on my N500 model.
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/85cv28ww.txt
    From comparison of the prerequisites for [For the other ThinkPad models] we can see that version 5.85 does not have any higher versions prerequisites than 5.72.
    So what is the problem?
    3.My wifi lan adapter is model Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 AGN version 13..4.0 installed a year ago with no problems working with access connections 5.72 and covering prerequisites for driver version Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) for Windows Vista version 12.4.0.21. as mentioned on lenovo site.so no real problem with this.
    4.But let's insist a liitle more on prerequisites.Maybe i really need
    a.ThinkPad Power Management driver for Windows Vista/XP/2000/ME/98 SE, version 1.42 or later.
    b.Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 version 3.02.0000 or higher.
    Here we can see.
    a.from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-4GXPEG
    that lenovo 3000 N series is not [vista] supported .
    So my N500 model needs Power driver not from this url but from lenovo's support - download drivers and software selecting my configuration files i find Power Manager for Windows Vista - Lenovo G530 (MT 4446 only), N500 version
    0.64.0.9 which is already installed and the latest one for my n500 model.
    So no particular version exists apart from what i have already .since it works with 5.72 it should work with 5.85 
    lenovo has not updated any PM driver version for N500 model and i can find it  as final on support site for my model 
    b.now my guess refines to a driver update for hotkey features.
    but access connections points to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-74261
    where lenovo N series is not supported.
    So with little search i found http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGr-68000
    which seems to be the proper for n series and the right ones.
    5.Now the real questions
    1.on
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGr-68000
    are these the right drivers for my n500 model on screen display?
    2. if yes latest version is 2.23.0000 http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6jvu34ww.txt
    and read me file says that onscreen display version is 5.32
    I have on my laptop version 5.13 of on screen display installed,may this be the upgrade to 5.32 needed to work access connections 5.85 on my n500 model right?
    also i have presentation director version 4.a on my laptop and at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-74261 asks for hotkey features to work
    "For Windows Vista/XP only) It is required to install Presentation Director version 4.04 or higher." and url redirecting there
    should i have also this to upgrade?
    3.from main access connections dowload page redirection to "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 version 3.02.0000 or higher" that's http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-74261
    we see that package 3.02 which is needed has onscreen display driver version 6.02
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6wvu50ww.txt
    will version 5.32 for my n500 model when installed cover this demand for driver version?i see that system interface driver minimum demand is version 1.01 which is already installed so no real problem with this driver.

    I think its because the Lenovo 3000 & Valueline Systems are going to the idea-brand so the support for thinkvantage software is ending for those systems , so you might want to go back to the version that was working
    Thinkpad R61 7733-1GU
    Thinkpad X61T 7762-54U

  • Access Connection log file, no clear structure, behavior criptic

    I am troubleshooting an issue with Access Connection ver. 4.42 executing over a Lenovo Thinkpad T61
    I enable the log, using the login tab, for the Diagnostic option in the Tools Menu.
    The log generated is in html format, but the contents its very dificult to understand.
    I think the developer put this for debuging, and they know, what mean every entry ( I think).
    someone know the meaning of the entries in the log file AcconAdvanced.html ???
    Thanks in advance.
    filmancco

    Hmm..  that is a bit strange...  The 3945 card in the T60 and the 4965 card use the same driver, so you'd think the problem should be showing on both systems.
    When you switch to another profile and you get the pop-up window showing progress, at what point of it do you get a red X?
    Also, if you click "help me fix this" what error is listing?
    I presume this is with v4.42 of AC?  Might want to make sure that also have the latest hotkeys and power management driver if don't have them already...
    Hotkeys:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68000
    Power Management driver:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4GXPEG
    Don't use the driver from Intel's site, Access Connections needs to use the Lenovo driver in order to function properly.
    But, you could uninstall Access Connections and the Lenovo version of the driver and download/install the Intel driver with their PROSet application to see if it have the same behavior. That would help say if it's an AC problem or a driver issue.
    As for the disconnecting problem, can try changing the Power Management and Roaming Aggressiveness of the card.
    Edit each profile under Access Connections and on the Wireless Settings page, go into the Settings for Advanced Configuration.  Set the Power Save Mode to Low (best network performance).
    Then open Device Manager and open the properties of the Intel wireless card.  Go to the Advanced tab and change these two settings.
         Power Management: Uncheck Use default value and move the slider all the way to the right to Highest.
         Roaming Aggressiveness: Uncheck Use default value and move the slider all the way to the left to Lowest.  Click Ok and exit.  Then reboot the system.
    You may need to tweak the Aggressive Roaming setting to a left of middle setting if you find yourself not roaming soon enough.
    Try that and see if it helps....

  • Access Connection​s Problems With Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials

    There appears to be a conflict with Access Connections and Microsoft Security Essentials which causes Microsoft Security Essentials to generate high page faults and high CPU usage, and prevents normal operation of Access Connections.
    After fresh install and reboot Access Connections would not launch, and when cursor was moved to the taskbar, the cursor pointer changed to a spinning loop.  Clicking on the Access Connections gadget did nothing. Looking at Task Manager, Microsoft Security Essentials program msmpeng.exe was experiencing 5000+ page faults per interval.  Terminating msmpeng.exe immediately caused Access Connections to launch.
    System configuration: Lenovo Thinkpad x200s with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 RTM (installed with a fresh install) with all current updates, and all updates from Leovo including Access Connections V 5,42 Build 6JC725WW,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is a workaround to fix the issue
    1) Launch MS Security Essentials
    2) Click on the "settings" tab
    3) Click on "Excluded files & Locations"
    4) Click "Add"
    5) browse and add the following exceptions
     a) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections
     b) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections\AccConnAdvanced.html
    6) Click "Save Changes"
    The issue is also resolved in AC 5.5 which is posted to the web
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?lndocid=MIGR-73682
    Can someone please test both solutions and let me know if the issue is resolved.
    Thanks

  • Access Connection messes up taskbar

    Hello!
    Have a problem/bug with access connection that i hope that you guys can help me with!
    On my work we have Access Connection installed on all our Lenovo lapptops and this happends to all our models, t420, x220, t410, x220i etc.
    It messes up the taskbar, its hard to explain but look on the pritnscreen linked further down in this post and you will hopefully understand. This happends to every profile on the computer and if you disable access connection in the taskbar och then put it there again everything is fine and its to the right beside lenovos "power saving" thing in the taskbar.
    We are using version 5.85 of Access connection
    Here is a link to the print screen http://tinypic.com/r/1jut7c/5

  • Thinkvantage Access Connections on W520

    I would like to use the Thinkvantage Access Connections on my W520. I have found where to download the files. In the Read Me document it state that the model W520 is supported but the network connector is not listed in the "supported device" list.
    I want to use the Thinkvantage Access Connections for my LAN networks.
    It is a bit confusing now. Is the Thinkvantage Access Connections available for the W520 model or not?
    Thank you

    Hey Bostoe,
    Yes it is if you look at the links below one is to Access Connections for w520

  • Power Manager and Access Connections crash, neither help nor solution from Lenovo!?!

    Hello
    I've already posted here on the forum several weeks ago about the obvious problem that Lenovo has with the latest version of the Power Manager and the Access Connections which both crash either on startup or while tryibg to open it.
    So far there has been neither an update, nor a solution nor an official statement from Lenovo about that problem that consists rightnow for over two month!
    When searching the forum I see the same all over again: Unanswered threads, solutions that don't solve anything at all and so on...
    And just if someone here comes up with comments like:
    "work's here" or "just rollback to the old version", what is the point of writing software that doesn't work?? And why not giving ANY SUPPORT AT ALL???!!!
     I really would at least like to see an official statement saying "we work on it". After buying one of the most expensive notebooks on the market (and in my opinion still one of the best) hat would be the least one could expect form a "award wining" company like Lenovo...

    Hello, I am a Help Desk Consultant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and currently, we've had many problems with access connections, 4965 agn wireless card, and its drivers.
    Symptoms:
    1) Wireless card is detected my windows device manager
    2) Wireless card is NOT detected by access connections, intel wireless utilities/tests/etc
    Other related information:
    1)  Events with ID 7036 + source: NETw#v## (the # stand for numbers, I can't quiet remember which ones but the one after the v is a 5
    2) Rollback driver is NEVER an abailable option
    3) Every failure case with same symptoms came in starting mid September
    4) If you select "show hidden devices" in device manager, there is a huge number of devices, most of which seem to be repeats
    After many hours of debugging and fustrated complaints, I have determined that it could be one of many problems:
    1) Teredo tunnelling: Apparently, atheros/intel/access connections won't find the wireless card if teredo has been enabled or something
    2) Power management: A default setting is "let windows turn the wireless off it there's not enough power" in wireless properties>configure>power management
    3) Driver update combination conflict: between a update on 9/21 and present time, there's something horribly gone wrong
    If anyone has a definitie solution to this, please post. 

  • Access Connections 5.02 and Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN

    Has somebody else come across that the new Access Connections 5.02 is incompatible with the Intel's 5300 AGN Wlan card deployed in ThinkPad T400? I have verified that the right driver (newest => 12.00.4000) is installed for the card in Windows XP, newest Access Connections software (5.02), Power Management Driver (/ACPI => v1.50) and Hotkey (v2.08.2008) utility.
    We use Microsoft's RIS to deploy Windows workstations with Windows XP SP3 and creating the image for our one and only T400 has been, to put mildly, tricky.
    The problem is that Access Connections (triggered through Fn+F5) is not able to power off or power on the WLAN card. It is able to work with the Bluetooth radio, but not the WLAN.
    Going through the README for Access Connections reveals T400 is one of the supported models, but Intel WiFi Link 5300 is not mentioned in the wireless adapter list. 5100 is, but not 5300. Now I'm not sure if the Lenovo's documentation is just not up-to-date, or what?
    Has anyone else been affected by this? The laptop came pre-installed with Vista SP1, but I did not even bother to load it even once, since I always just start creating RIS image for new ThinkPad models.

    The 5300 is definitely listed on some of the standard T400 configurations, and is also a selectable option on the CTO configurations, so there is no doubt that the 5300 should be a supported card for the T400.

    It's your call what you do, but my advice is to always fire up the vendor installed environment for any new configuration that comes to hand and make sure that everything works as expected before blowing it away with some other SOE. 
    That establishes a baseline for what may or not be workable, which is an essential element for later troubleshooting in a custom OS load.

  • Intel WiFi/WiMAX 5150: HOTKEY doesn't work without Access Connections

    Our company has several T410i 2522-P38 notebooks with Intel 5150 WiFi/WiMAX cards, all still running XP. Recently I had to reinstall OS on one machine. There was a minor problem that Lenovo support site download page for this machine offers Intel WiMAX 6205 instead of 5150, but I have driver package stored. However, after installing OS, drivers and Lenovo packages I've found that in Fn+F5 window I see only Bluetooth adapter, WiFi and WiMAX don't appear, yet they are correctly shown in Device Manager and WiFi works (couldn't check WiMAX).
    This is not first time I face such problem, so I tried to solve it in usual way: uninstalled and reinstalled Hotkey package and drivers (Power Management driver and WiFi), tried several different versions of drivers and Hotkey - all to no success. Whatever I was doing, only BT was seen in Fn+F5.
    Finally I ended up reverse-engineering Hotkey, and got quite unexpected result: it simply doesn't know WiFi driver present on the notebook. Hotkey package (namely, TpFnF5.exe file which creates Fn+F5 window) has a hard-coded list of known adpater Hardware IDs. Intel WiFi Link 5150 present on the notebook has ID VEN_8086&DEV_423D&SUBSYS_13168086, while closest match in the list was VEN_8086&DEV_423D&SUBSYS_13118086. As an experiment, I've patched TpFnF5.exe to replace "13118086" with "13168086", and voila - WiFi appears in Fn+F5, and can be switched on and off! I've checked TpFnF5.exe from several different versions of Hotkey package, and Hardware ID of our adapter wasn't present anywhere.
    Ok, the reason is found, but how all other identical machines work?! I checked another notebook, and found the difference: it had Access Connections installed, while the troubled machine had only Hotkey but not AC. It turns out that Access Connections has it's own executable for Fn+F5 dialog, AcFnF5.exe. When you press Fn+F5 with AC installed, AcFnF5.exe is launched instead of TpFnF5.exe which is called when you have only Hotkey. And AcFnF5.exe knows how to handle our adapter. I've installed AC on troubled notebook, and Fn+F5 window immediately showed all three adapters.
    Also, regarding WiMAX, it looks to me like this functionality was simply intentionally blocked in Hotkey. But I didn't dig further in that direction.

    Ah, that's OK then.

  • Latest versions of Power Manager and Access Connections got borked.

     I have a T60p running a fully patched XP SP2, model 2007CS3, and I work for IBM. I'm posting this because our internal IT support team has no clue how to fix this.
    I updated Power Manager to 1.52 when it had initially released, and since then it always fails with  an error in pwmuictl.dll, however the taskbar indicator is working properly. So I have to rely on Windows' built in power management only.
    Couple of days back I updated the ethernet drivers  to 9.12.41.1001 as in the latest package listed on the site.
    After that Access Connections 5.2 stopped working- the AcSvc service would fail on startup and subsequent restarts.
    I rolled back the ethernet driver to the previous version- uninstalled the device and reinstalled specifying the older drivers- to no avail.
    After a lot of struggle I downgraded it to version 4.23 that is used internally- and now my LEAP based wifi does not work. If I create a new connection profile- Access Connections craps out after filling in wifi security parameters. I reset my LEAP password  and tried again- it still does not connect.
    So effectively, updating the ethernet drivers turned out to be a big mistake. I hope someone can help, if you need additional information/screenshots let me know.

    Hello Martin,
    you have AC 5.02 instead 4.52 installed, like your screenshot shows.
    Some user have been experienced problems with this version and the version of new Powermanager.
    So if your system runs satisfactionally then there is no need to update.
    I would roll back and see if your program became operationally again.
    Kind regards

  • Lenovo Access Connection​s Program Dead

      Hi, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
      I'm running Vista Business on a T500.  I've always used the Lenovo Access Connections program to switch wifi locations.  Access Connections now doesn't appear to work.  The program opens normally but there is now (hadn't noticed it before) a location profile named "Windows Wireless Service," and when I click the "Find" button Access Connections doesn't find anything the list and graphic screen show no networks even if there are a dozen WiFi routers.
      When I FnF5 the Wireless Radio window opens indicating that my Bluetooth is "on" and the 802.11 is "off."  If I click the "Power On" button nothing happens.
      But my internet works normally and it's even switching WiFi locations automatically!  Somehow the machine has switched to using the Windows WiFi manager - the only thing I can think of that could have precipitated this is that I plugged into my work ethernet.  First time in about a year that I've done this and these problems with Access Connection seemed to start shortly after that (no indication at the time - Access Connections seemed to work).
      If I go Control Panel > Network & Sharing > Connect to a Network I see a "find" window similar to the Access Connections list, but on this Windows program the routers are all "found."  I see in a few places that two network connection managers can't be running at the same time.  I tried turning off the service "WLAN AutoConfig" but that did not allow Access Connections to run.  Maybe I didn't shut off the right thing or maybe I didn't turn it off correctly.  Since Access Connections doesn't work I turned WLAN AutoConfig back on, but it would be nice to have Access Connections functioning.  I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer.  Any suggestions appreciated!

    I have Access Connections working in Windows 7 and had it working in Vista before that. I use it to change between wireless connections as well.
    If you want it working, try the following:
    1. Document your profiles (SSID, WEP or WPA, security key) in a small Notepad file.
    2. Download the latest copy (5.85 if I remember correctly).
    3. Uninstall Access Connections. When it asks, delete the profiles as part of the uninstall.
    4. Go to Windows Wireless Manager. Delete any left over profiles in it.
    5. Restart.
    6. Install Access Connections (use a wired connection first if you can).
    7. Now install the first wireless connection and ensure that it works.
    8. Assuming so, install the remaining wireless profiles.
    Good luck.

    After rebooting my ipad, I can't access wifi.   How do I fix this?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

    Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.
