G580 models which wireless card in which model?
I understand price points mean less features/more features.
What I don't understand is the lack of details regarding which wireless card is in which model.
I do know entry level G580 is basic 1x1 N card.
Which cards are in which models please?
Jim
The recovery discs can not be downloaded from the web. Therefore you would need to go to ASP, so that they could order it for you.
I'm not sure, but I think the wifi module is under the keyboard, but don't ask me how you can get there. All I know is, that you will have to remove some screws from the bottom of your notebook in order to clips out the keyboard.
Anyway, there is software around that can identify devices in your machine, like Everest.
But are you sure you have Wlan equipped in your notebook? As far as I know a wifi module was not built in.

Just got new T530 with wrong wireless card. Which model of Intel 6300?
Hey all, been surfing the google god for a few days but can't seem to find a secure answer that makes me happy. Just got a new T530 model 2359 laptop for my new job. Other then one stuck pixel that refuses to go away im pretty happy with it as I upgraded the CPU to the i5 3320 cpu model with the nvidia NVS 5400m GPU so it can power dual 24" monitors on my new Lenovo dock.
What sucks is that my manager got me the wrong wifi card, the standard thinkpad 1x1 b/g/n wireless card so I can't connect to 5ghz and or dual band routers like I have at my home which I really want for reliable and fast wireless cause I will be using it a lot around my work building as I do IT support for users so I wanna be able to use all the antenna's to help my range.
I took the laptop apart and I do see a third wire not connected to the thinkpad 1x1 mini card so should be able to use 3 antenna's on my T530? My big question is which 6300 card would the correct one for my T530? I know apparently there are "white label" cards from IBM that don't work in certain machines but considering I'm putting it into a IBM, I would think I would be ok?
Also, I do have an HD webcam buit in and I've heard that apparently some Thinkpad models you can't use three antenna and have the webcam working?
I'm curious if this white label centrino 6300 is the one I need

Which Wireless Card for Mac Pro 2.93ghz (4.1)
Hi,
I would like to add a wireless card to my Mac Pro 2.93ghz (4.1)(early 2009) but im a little unsure of which card is compatible, after searching on the net for info I have these model numbers - Airport Extreme MB988Z/A or MB988ZM/A.
Many thanks,
AntzI have an Early '08 Mac Pro running an 8800GT in Slot 1 and a 2600XT in Slot 2.
I got my 2600 for $50 USD and have found it to work very quietly and without fuss. It's 3D performance is a little lacking but I didn't buy it for that.
It installed straight into Slot 2 and requires no additional power cable. I've also the above setup running four 23" Apple Cinema Displays without breaking a sweat.
As for your 7300 predicament, for all intensive purposes, this card does not have an the correct internal ROM required to boot an Early '08 Mac Pro. Whilst I've not tested it, I've no reason to doubt well-informed comments from other members:

How can I select which channel the wireless card on the Macbook Pro uses?
Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro which must be 5-6 years old running OS ver10.5.8 with the following wireless card details..
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.16.2
Current Wireless Network: ML MC
Wireless Channel: 6
.. and a Time Capsule running firmware ver 7.6.1.
We recently installed a faster broadband connection and for some reason the pc’s (recent purchases) we have are regularly getting a 37Gb max download speed and the MacBook Pro is regularly getting only 19Gb max download speed. All the computers are connecting through the same Time Capsule to the net. On the Time Capsule the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidths are set so the channel is selected automatically.
Is the max download speed on the MacBook pro slower because of the wireless card in it? And if so, how can I check? Could I manually adjust it to a faster setting?
Thanks,
SimonChannels are managed by the router and the automatic settings on your TC is about right - unless you have general WiFi issues.
Your slower speed is down to the older Airport card in your MBP. -
Which Wireless Card? Lenovo A26
Hi I am trying to buy a wireless card for my lenovo thinkcentre desktop MT-M 9120-A26 which product should I buy?
Quality USB WiFi adapter should be ok and is most handy. Like D-Link etc. You could also use PCIe WiFi card, but then it will be inbuilt in computer and depending on placement of PC can be good or not so good solution ...

Lenovo V560-43422GU laptop - which wireless card and is there HDMI output
Regarding Lenovo V560-43422GU laptop:
(1) Is there an HDMI output? Lenovo sales rep says YES, but Bestbuy.com specs say NO.
(2) Which wireless card is included? Lenovo gave me a list of possibilities, but said the card is actually specific to each dealer/store. Please tell me which one of the following cards will be in the laptop if I buy it from Bestbuy.com.
Intel 6250
Intel 5150
Intel 6200
Intel 1000
Broadcom 4313
AR 9285Very good questions with no precise answers online.
I see you already posted on the Lenovo forums and they do not have an answer for you right away I love how the tech says he will contact you in a FEW days... and it is their product. I had a smiliar situation with them and it took 3 days lol.
Again, I see you did your searching well... not a lot of information seems available.I guess physically seeing the computer can verifiy this.
Looking at image #4 on the Best Buy site shows there is an HDMI port, but it is covered.... and that concerns me especially when the SPECS say it does not have an HDMI port. I really do not see why it would not have an HDMI port available, even the lower lines of Lenovo z565 and b560 have them available.... it is almost becoming a standard now days for HDMI.

I will be at a Best Buy on Thursday.
If you do not get a reply back by then I will be there and physically check the machine for the HDMI and interally for the Wi-Fi card that is in there...
But hopefully you get a more informational reply before then =)
I will check back in on Thursday.
Let me know if you have any questions before then.
Good Luck to you.

Which Wireless card do I have in my Satellite A40
Hi all,
I got a Toshiba Satalite Pro A 40 (PSA45E) from a friend
As the Windows XP was quite slow I decided to reinstall the OS and have now a problem to install the Wireless card
At the moment I have Windows XP (without Service Pack, which must be the first version which was on sale I assume) but cant install the Wlan card
I tried several times to switch on/off the card with the FN key, but Windows cant find it. Also the device manager does not list any unknown device or Wireless card. Therefore I'm not sure which Card is now installed
I'm very sure that I saw some SSIDs with the old Windows before installed the new Windows
now I'm wondiring if I can download recovery CDs from the WEB or find any free Software which can read the hardware on a PC even if the drivers are missing, to see if the card is responding.
Furthermore I noticed that at the back of the Laptop there is only the MAC on the LAN card on a sticker. could it be that Tosiba didnt put a sticket with the WLAN MAC on the back?
Where would I be able to find a manual to physically locate the mini-pci card?
Thanks

G580 Model 2189 Wlan mit 5 GHZ?
Hallo, ich habe ein Lenovo G580 Model 2189, dazu Windows 8.1 installiert.
Meine Frage, Läuft meine WIFI Wlan Broadcom 802.11n auch auf 5 Ghz?
Laut Wiki müste doch N mit 5 Ghz laufen oder? Meine Fritzbox habe ich umgestellt auf 5 Ghz, mein Handy erkennt es und funktioniert gut nur mein Lenovo erkennt es nicht. Er findet es noch nicht mal...!
Wenn es nicht funktionieren sollte, kann ich da einen anderen WIFI Chip einbauen und wenn ja welchen?
Danke
lg
klausHallo Klaus und willkommen im Lenovo Community Forum.
Es werden ausschließlich 802.11n single band Module verbaut, die das 2,4 GHz Frequenzband unterstützen. Welche Module das im G580 sein können, findest du hier auf Seite 102 (Pos. 16). Andere Module werden aufgrund der BIOS Whitelist nicht unterstützt. Ein Booten ist nach dem Einbau eines nicht unterstützen Moduls nicht mehr möglich.
Als Alternative bieten sich jedoch externe Geräte an, z.B. ein 5GHz USB WLAN-Stick.

Hello. I know that here are many toppics about this problem.I dont have in devide manager the bluetooth device.I read them all. The usefull seems to me this one. I did it step by step, but i can still find BT device.My operation system is Windows 8 professional x64. I know that this laptop bluettoth has, because i used it when i had Windows 7 installed on it. Thank for your help.
When I updated my G580 to Windows 8.1 I had to go thru very specific steps to make sure my card was recognized correctly, including downloading the right driver. I was presented with no less than 4 different driver files for my module and I had to try several before finding one that worked.
What worked for me:
1. Download correct drivers from internet (lenovo)
2. Remove all bluetooth and wireless network hardware from Device Manager tree by right clicking on the device and choosing Uninstall option. If asked, choose to remove driver files as well. Reboot machine.
3. Install new drivers from downloaded files, check Device Manager to verify wireless card has been correctly installed.
4. Cold Boot machine (power cycle).
5. On start up, Windows finds new hardware, loads Bluetooth drivers, enables device.
6. Return to Device Manager, verify hardware is working without errors or warnings, reboot if needed.
7. Open Bluetooth Manager, search for devices and pair with one to prove working status.
I had to try several of the files to find that I needed to use an "Atheros" driver for the installed bluetooth to work correctly. -
BIOS Request for G580 Model 2189 Windows 7 x64
Hello, could someone please provide an original BIOS for G580 Model 2189 x64 Windows 7? Thank you!
Not to difficult to find... Why the "original" BIOS request? Usually not a good idea to backstep BIOS unless directed to by support professionals. Also, BIOS updates are independant of Windows Versions, the installer or "flashing": program used to install the BIOS file is sometimes Windows version dependant.
Either way - check this page for BIOS files: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g580-no...
Good luck. -
Can i install a wireless card in my Satellite P30-141 's wireless bay?
The P30-141 doesn't come with wireless functionality and i can't track any wireless antennae cables which should reside within the top casing of the machine, but i'd like to know if it's possible to undertake my own installation of a toshiba wireless card? Would anyone out there know of a specific wireless card model / part number which could be used to do this? I'm quiet happy to tinker around inside the machine as it's four years past the warranty i believe and i've already replaced the LCD once, so i'm pretty familiar with the guts of it, just can't find any documentation on getting this component into this particular machine.
Any advice would be a great help!Hi Simon,
Sure if you have the relevant PC slot inside, i'm checking a P30 - 131 (which i can't even find in the db here, think its foreign spec but a uk board) for one after telling my client it was easy. If you peek under the keyboard you can see a wire trench running from where the screen cable comes in to the main body. If its empty you need to fit the antenna cable, if present awesome just put in the relevant wireless card and clip on the antenna plugs. If the wires aren't present, simples.
They're quite cheap on everyones favourite auction site, you just need to get in under the screen bezel/surround and lay them down. They lay around the screen itself under the bezel. You'll find simple pictorials not necessarily for your specific laptop but they are mostly the same. Then bnring them through and lay them through the trench under the keyboard and clip into the wireless card. Well obviously you now have to set up the relevant drivers, curse a few times as it doesn't connect, wonder furiously at what is going wrong and then bing it'll suddenly connect although you've done nothing different over the past couple of days.......... The biggest issue you'll find is not to damage your bezel.
Anyway good luck, i'm gonna now try to work out if this model (see above) will do this.
