Access Connections / WLAN / Win7 x64 / 5300 AGN / connection loss

Hi there,
I'm experiencing some Problems with Access Connections. Most of the time I'm using my T500 with a dockin station and a wired network. No problems so far. But when i undock it and start using WLAN its only a matter of time until it looses Connection. Something about 5mins. Access Connections states its connected and the signal strength is perfect, but the small Network manager Icon from Windows says its not. And in fact, i can't ping the access point or my gateway. ipconfig shows the correct ip configuration, but there is no connection any more (access connection still claims to have a perfect connection).
When I disconnect via Access Connections and try to reconnect it fails. Not completely but obtaining a new IP from the DHCP-Server fails. So my Nic is configureg with 169.x..x.x (aka crap)
Restarting AcPrfMgrSvc and AcSvc did the trick for about 5min, then I had the same problem again.
Looks like Access Connections and Windows aren't "best friends".
The 5min problem seems to be caused  by some power saving function, but I don't want to disable them.
Win7 x64 is a fresh installation ( btw. to get all the needed drivers is a nightmare!)
Anybody knows this problem? Any fix from lenovo?
Would be nice!
Kind regards

Yes basically you have to disallow Windows to turn off the device automatically.
Because Access Connection doesn't replace Network and sharing center but works in addition with it, there is some settings have to be modified in windows.
If not allowing windows to turn off the device is not enough to solve your problem, you can gon in access connections>tools>global settings and untick allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive.
With your comparision with an hybrid car, if your not allowed to switch to save fuel and you can't fix it you have to choices don't use it or use fuel.

  • 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.

  • 802.1x wlan authentication wont work with Access Connections

    Hi - hope someone can help. I have a WLAN configured to use 802.1x authentication using PEAP, passwords and an internal CA.
    I can conect and authenticate a wireless client using the inbuilt windows wireless client; i am unable to connect when i configure Access Connections on the same computer with the same wireless settings. This is really annoying.....
    The version of access connections is 5.21 running on windows XP SP3. Laptop is T61.
    The connection fails as Access connections seems to think that there is no certificate installed on the client; there is and of course this would not have worked with the windows wireless client.
    error message is:
    The identity of the server was rejected. Verify that the correct server name has been specified in the 'Validate Server Certificate' section of the profile.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks.

    did you find any resolution to this?  our mba- mid 2013 deployment is having a very similar problem.  We've gone through loads of troubleshooting and have yet to come to a resolution.  all our mid 2012 mba's are working fine they're 10.7.5/10.8.4 mixed.  console logs don't show much, i'll try the wireless diags tomorrow.  our other 10.8.4 build appears fine on other models of machines.  i've read posts about deleteing the adapters, deleting the system config plists and changing the mtu size, these steps do not work for us.
    we don't have as high a failure rate with our deployment, but 25%-30% of our clients randomly drop connectivity and are unable to reconnect (fluttering wi-fi wave).  when you slect the wifi symbol in the menu bar other wireless networks do not show, the 'looking for networks' fly wheel continues to spin.  ocasionaly on login the yellow jelly bean will appear then disappear before finally timeing out without logging the user in (depsite having mobile accounts enabled).    mostly the problem manifests itself when waking from sleep - the wifi symbol flutters endlessly without connecting.  deleting the 8021x profile and readding it will reenable connectivity.  we've tried new profiels, but to the same end.  i know our certs and systems are fine because previous mac os x builds work fine as do our windows clients.
    any input would be much appreciated.

  • Connection difficulties with 5300 AGN and AccessConnection

    Hello,
    I'm having some network difficulties on the new X301.
    The laptop has Intel 5300 AGN and AccessConnection v5.
    1. When I come back to office, it doesn't connect to the AP (DIR-635) automatically, even it has been connected, and saved for profile.
    2. After I connect it manually, and after a certain period, the connection seems to be stopped, all network connections got frozen, and a new icon in the notification are shows the 5300 had been disconnected. The driver is 12.12.0.0.75.
    Do you have any idea?

    Hi
    Yeah, the detailed information about the notebook could be very useful.
    But the driver update is a good idea for the first.
    You can also check the settings in the properties of this card in the device manger.
    There should be some interesting options which could be changed.

  • Access Connection - detect WLAN encryption automatically?

    Hallo,
    I have a problem with Access Connection: When I want to connect to an encrpted WLAN Access Connection says, "Unable to connect to the selected wireless network. You may need to configure your system to support the authentication method that is in use. Do you want to configure now?". If I click "no" nothing happens and I am not connected. If I click "Yes" the Access Connection profile Editor shows up and asks me to select the proper encryption (WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc). That's not really very comfortable. Other tools (like the build-in Windows WLAN-Manager) can detect the right settings for the encryption automatically and just promt for the key.
    Why is Access Connection not able to detect the used WLAN-ecryption automatically and has to be configured by hand? is it supposed to be like that or am I doing something wrong?
    Help would be greatky appreciated! Thanks!

    Access Connections will normally attempt to connect to the last successfully connected profile (particularly if suspending or hibernating between locations).  If that fails, it will scan the local SSIDs and see if one matches your list of profiles (so hidden SSIDs can slow this down some).  It will then attempt to connect using the profiles it has based on the order in Location Switching.
    So be sure that Location Switching  is enabled and order your profiles (or even uncheck ones that aren't commonly used) to match where your are most often connecting wirelessly.
    So basically, let Access Connections try and connect on it's own.  If the pop-up connection window is annoying you, you can disable it under Global Settings and Notifications tab, uncheck the last box.

  • WRVS4400N V2 and Intel 5300 AGN can't connect at N speeds

    Hi,
    I have a Dell Latitude E6500 with the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN adapter.  I cannot get it to connect to my WRVS4400N V2 at anything higher than 54 Mbps.  I have downloaded the latest driver from Intel and N mode is enabled.  Has anyone else managed to get these two to work together?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same problem as kirksaban.  I have an HP EliteBook 8530p with an Intel 5300 AGN.  It can detect my WiFi network from the WRVS4400N is 802.11n, but it will only connect at 802.11g speeds.  We have both an older and newer MacBook Pro that both can connect faster than 54 Mbps, but the HP will not.  I checked the product brief on Intel's site and it claims the 5300 AGN will operate at both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz (I will try to paste URLs below).  Where did you find it would only operate at 5.0 GHz?  Are we sure the band on the 5300 AGN is the problem?

  • Access Connections and WLAN

    Access Connections attempts to connect to my secured home network but fails. Yet I can still connect to the network, connect to Skype, and access webpages through Chrome. Windows Network and Sharing Center tells me that I am connected to the internet through my home network yet Access Connections has a big red X over the wireless connection, telling me I cannot connect to the network.

    You can just un-install it. I did on a recent Thinkpad,
    and my connections were fine afterwards.
    Or explore the settings of the utility, maybe there is
    something you can change to fine tune it?

  • T500: Access Connections and windows wifi management issue PostPosted: Fri Oct 29, 2010 2:31 pm

    Hello all,
    This is my very first post here so please beare with me.
    My T500:
    Product: ThinkPad T500 2056-AK5
    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (but same problem on Ultimate x64)
    Original description: Based 2056-4RG: T9400(2.53GHz), 3GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 256MB ATI Radeon HD3650, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 9c Li-Ion, WinVista Business 32
    The wifi NIC is Intel 5100 AGN, the gigabit is 82567LM. I bought also an Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband modem. All are working as supposed.
    The win7 is freshly installed from recovery dvd's, all updates, both Lenovo and Micro$oft are up to date.
    The problem: Access connections seems to be "behind" the automated wifi management of windows 7. I have two, three profiles saved for may home wifi network, my office wifi network and so on. My home network has settings like 192.168.7.xx, no encryption, only MAC registration, the office network has 192.168.4.xx, encryption WPA, therefore a switch is needed everyday between these.
    The problem is that AC doesn't do that, eventually doesn't even switch between locations at all. In AC->Tools location switching is properly set up
    The T500 connects let say at home, then when I starts in the office it connects to the office network but still using my home IP (192.168.7.xx) even if I saved in the profiles different IP numbers for both location. I have tried stopping the windows wifi connection service but then AC stop either.
    This seems to me like windows try and force reconnect to the new network with the old settings, even before AC could interfere with its settings saved in profiles.
    Only 2 things I can do:
    1. in windows' wireless network and sharing center I choose to start manually these networks, then start them manually from AC;
    2. Stop the network as connected automatically by windows (with wrong IP settings) then restart it from AC;
    Both these are frustrating because my good old T60 running winXP did this automatically, without my inference.
    Could anyone help me out of these, please?

    I had similar problems with my T400.  AC would refuse to even show my access point most of the time.   I finally gave up and uninstalled AC.  The Windows 7 wifi management works just fine, but no profiles
    Others on this forum smarter than me insist that AC works with Windows 7, just not for me.  It worked perfectly when running XP on this T and on my T61.
    If you dump AC, do the basic wifi functions work for you?

  • T42 Showing Incorrect Adapter Name in Access Connections

    I am working on a T42 laptop and installed Access Connections 5.12.  I have gone through and did all the prerequisites prior to installation of Access Connections (wireless driver update, UltraNav Driver upgrade, Video Upgrade, BIOS upgrade, LAN driver update, etc).  I have created a profile for a wireless network that is in range and operational.  My problem is the adapter is showing incorrectly within Access Connections.  This wireless adapter is identified correctly in device manager as "11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter".  But in Access Connections, it is showing as "Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN".  I am needing this to identify the correct adapter to get Access Connections to work.  Any ideas?

    Hi jeremieolson,
    Unless you need to use Access Connections to switch among multiple *wired* networks, I'd suggest simply un-installing Access Connections and using the built-in Windows tools for establishing your wireless connection. Windows will let you establish wireless profiles just like Access Connections does. AFAIK Access Connections doesn't add anything to the built-in Windows wireless networking, and in your case it's misbehaving, so...

  • I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade

    I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade in early August. Windows 7 Ultimate/x64.
    It stops connecting to WPA2 Enterprise (AES-CCMP), Microsoft PEAP, no server cert, with any credentials I try to use. The same account(s) works with native Intel manager on other notebooks and on mobile devices. I lost the wireless connectivity to enterprise WiFi network.
    And, after deinstallation of Access Connections, the inability to connect keeped intact with native Win7 WiFi management.
    I think, something was broken in Access Connections 5.83 Build 83C753WW and some registry settings/ dll modules were altered but not returned to normal after deinstall.

    Access Connections is definitely broken for WPA encryption.  Both versions 5.02 and 5.84 fail for me.  If I use the Windows XP wireless configuration instead of Access Connections, everything works.
    Does anyone know how to report this to Lenovo?  I chased links around the web site but couldn't find a place.

  • Access connections 5 version 5.83 and windows 7 Professional 64-bit

    This is the first time I use this forum, please excuse me for any mistakes. I have just installed windows 7 professional 64-bit on a thinkpad T410 and downloaded the access connections 5 version 5.83. My access connections profiles have been exported when my laptop was under win XP and have been imported under win7. The problem is that although they do function, both WLAN and LAN type of connections, I cannot have two connections (one LAN and one WLAN) running at the same time, something that it could be done under winXP. One thing that I've noticed in the profiles, that is grayed out now, which I was able to control under winXP but now I can't, is the "disable this wireless radio when switching to a different location" for WLAN profiles and
    "disconnect form the network when switching to a different location" for LAN profiles. These two profile parameters helped me achieve simultaneous connections. Why are they grayed out and how can I correct this issue? Regards Marios S.

    hey Marios,
    could you uninstall both wireless and wired network drivers from your system and then let win7 install its native drivers.
    once done see if it happens again. also i recommend removing all network profiles and start fresh.

  • Access connection can only connect at 54Mbps

    I'm running Access Connection 5.50. My W500 has Intel Wifi link  5300 AGN with PAN (driver 13.0.0.107). Going through AC, I can only get 54Mbps connecting to a TP-Link WR841N AP (BGN) but using Windows Wireless Services, I get 130Mbps. I have another T61P not running AC and it also gets 130Mbps on the same AP. What could be the problem?

    Same problem here with HP 8530W + Intel 5300 AGN : just 54Mbps while other Wifi clients do get 150Mbps from my AGN router (Netgear WNDR3700). Luckily also solved, this way:
    download & install Intel Proset Wireless http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=%22proset+wireless%22
    go to properties of Wireless settings, either using Intel or Microsoft Wireless manager. Edit the profile of the SSID, and set the band to 2.4Ghz specific. Takes a bit of searching, in Intel it's under Advanced profile properties.
    Set the router's wireless security properties to use WPA2 (PSK) + AES  (not TKIP)
    Re-connect, be sure that "2.4 Ghz" is still enabled at the client
    Voila, 300Mbps instead of 54Mbps

  • X220 - Access Connections Wireless issue - Driver disconnected while associating

    I am trying to connect to our wireless network at work.  I have verified that my settings are correct with the other X220s that we have connecting to our network.  When the connections fails and I select "help me fix this" I get four error messages.
    Thanks in advance if anybody has any ideas.
    Connection status:  Not connected
    Cause:  The driver disconnected while associating.
    Error code:  229378
    Recommended actions:
    The selected wireless network is out of range or unavailable.  Move to a location that is closer to the access point and try again.
    Verify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIP/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network.
    Verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless network.
    Verify that the wireless network name (SSID) is specified correctly. The SSID is case sensitive.
    If the problem persists, contact your network administrator and provide the troubleshooting information below.

    I share your pain with same Intel WiFi Link 1000 bgn.  After many, many hours yesterday I am now solidly running Wireless N at 144 Mbps on a LinkSys E4200, 99% reception from 30 feet away.  
    Previous to yesterday I could not get 'N' to work at all.
    First, if you have a newer dual frequency Router, this Intel adapter only supports 2.4ghz..
    1. I am using Access Connections 5.85, Windows 7
    2. Router: 2.4 Ghz Network Mode: Mixed
    3. On my LinkSys router Channel: Auto NEVER worked for either  'G' or 'N'.  I picked channel 4 by chance and things got better.  No further experiments. 
    3. Channel Width: Auto (20mhz or 40mhz).
    4. Earlier forums indicate WPA2-P and AES must be selected.  That's what I am running.
    5. Numerous references to "power" conflicts.  Set all Power Management to Maximum Power. 
    (Control Panel -> Device Manager ->Network Adapters -> Intel WiFi Link 1000 bgn -> Power Management)
    (Access Connections -> Wireless Settings -> 4. Advanced Configuration-> Maximum Performance)
    If you followed these steps, Wireless G should be working stabily for you now.
    Now for the secret sauce to make Wireless N work:  go to http://communities.intel.com/message/82098#82098
    See Feb 3, 2010 post How to get 5100 AGN to connect at N speed?
    I am indebted to this guy.
    Save the instructions!  For some reason my EDGE 14 wireless totally quit this week and that's what sent me down this wireless rabbit hole again.  At least this time I was able to make N mode work for the first time.
    Frustrated but relieved,
    Lew

  • Access Connections - disable WiFi on Wired Connect with docking station

    Issue: Need to auto switch without user interaction from Wired to WiFi and back to Wired.
    Example - User leaves desk/docking station with wired LAN to a meeting on WiFi then returns to their desk/dock. Laptop may hit sleep mode on these steps as well.
    I'm moving from Dell to Lenovo and new to AC - so far no luck disabling WiFi on Wired connect. It's a breeze with Intel PROset + "adapter switching" and can be done manually with Dell Wifi drivers ("disable on Wired Connect"). I assumed Thinkvantage Access Conentions would actually be more robust than these. Should we just use PROset even though it doesn;t ship with the systems nor is a download for Lenovo T-Series? PROset method - http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-028815.htm
    Working to achieve this as a managed policy for many computers. AC looks great but wish it had this setting like Intel PROset!!!

    Hi Tpad-rex, welcome to the forums,
    Please take a look at the profile settings in access connections. (Select the profile and choose edit profile). In the profile you should have two adapters showing; LAN and WLAN, make sure that the LAN is above the WLAN in the priority list. I'm guessing you have it the other way around, did you maybe set it up as a WLAN connection first??
