Lenovo g50-30 won't connect to home wifi.

Hello everybody, I just signed up to find a solution. 
I got a lenovo g50-30 with windows 8.1 about three weeks ago, and I've had a wireless problem ever since. The laptop will connect to my wireless router (Thomson tg582n) but then it shows the limited connection alert. I can navigate for about 5 minutes but right after im unable to do so, while the rest of smart phones and tablets can connect to it. This issue began about five weeks ago with and old macbook I had, but it doesn't seem to have a fix. In college I'm able to connect to the wireless networks without trouble and Ethernet works fine as well. I've tried everything, restarting and restoring the router, changing channels and security encryptions, established the same IP address, I disabled, restored and enabled windows firewall, released and renewed IP, flushed DNS. Disabled and enabled WiFi adapter, uninstalled the drivers and installed them back again. I've seriously done everything I've found without success, so I come to you in desperation. It would mean the world if you could help. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP (mind the sarcasm)
Anyway guys, I found a pretty good solution that ended my connectivity problems. Just go to your wiifi configuration and properties and choose to stablish a custom DNS server, then type 8.8.8.8 as main server and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary one (These are Google's DNS free servers) And all of your problems will go away. If anything, feel free to ask.

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

    Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

  • MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

    As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet.  Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem.  We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
    We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
    We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that.  We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
    The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus.  He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
    Any help would be much appreciated!  Thank you!!!

    Forgetting the Network didn't work.  It's dong the same thing.
    So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
    Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
    Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

  • Won't connect to home wifi?

    why won't this **** thing connect to my home network? It was working previously and now won't connect. wifi is operational with other devices. ***???

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    If that doesn't work, cycle power on your network router.
    If neither of those work (unlikely), try resetting your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home keys together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod 5th Generation won't connect to home wifi?

    I've had this iPod since this summer and suddenly it disconnected from my home wifi and hasn't connected for two days now. Yes, it will connect to wifi everywhere else such as school. Although, when I come home it fails to connect to our wifi.
    I know it isn't a problem with our wifi since all the computers are still connected (along with other Apple products such as Macs and iPhones).
    It's only my iPod that won't connect.
    Every time I try to connect it says that I have failed with the password and that it's unable to connect. I have tried resetting all settings and also tried resetting my network settings...
    Any other ideas? My iPod is version 8.1

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Tried everything - ipad2 still won't connect to home wifi

    Situation
    - home network wireless router is a linksys wrt54g - no login
    - other laptops connect fine
    - ipod touch connects fine
    - new ipad2 works fine on home wifi until I upgrade to ios5.0.1
    - now see three bars in the upper left next to the word ipad, with a spinning circle to the right of that when I open Safari (just hangs trying to open any site)
    - new ipad2 works fine on other wifi (office, airplane, public hotspots) both before and after upgrade
    - set to DHCP with a local IP address of 192.168.1.102, subnet of 255.255.255.0, router of 192.168.1.1,
    What have I tried?
    - turning wi-fi off and on w/in the ipad2 wifi networks screen
    - hard reset of the ipad2 (home / power until apple logo, then release)
    - network settings reset
    - forget this network
    - power cycling the router and cable modem
    - manually deleting the ipad2 from the dhcp clients table via the router admin gui
    - switching on and off airplane mode
    - adding and deleting a client id from the network screen (by default it is blank)
    Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    So - after spending an hour on the phone/hold with apple with no solutions - I did a reset of the router - leaving the default SSID of 'linksys' - and it now works.

  • Ipod touch won't connect to home wifi?

    the wifi was working fine until yesterday and now the connection won't even show up even though it works fine on my laptop. i've tried turning the ipod off and on, i've tried resetting the router, i've tried resetting the network settings on the ipod, still nothing. i can't do the thing where you hold down the power button and the home button because the power button is broke and the home button is almost broken as well. please help!!!

    I have the same problem. I tried restart, restore software (even though it is brand new!), reset network settings, restarted modem + router. All my other non-Apple wifi connection are perfectly fine. Just the same message: "UNABLE TO JOIN THE NETWORK".

  • Just upgraded to ISO8 and now my iphone 4s won't connect to home wifi - keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when it's not - help please.......

    Please help me - I've just upgraded my Iphone 4s to ISO8 and now I can't connect to wifi - was at my friends yesterday - always use his wifi and even though the password was correct, it wouldn't accept it.  Came home and had the same problem.  I can't use my data plan as it wouldn't be enough so now it's chewing through it.........The only thing I did different was upgrade......... I'm not computer savy so please leave me step by step instruction on how to fix if you can.  I've tried rebooting etc and turning everything off - no luck.......

    Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
    1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
    2. Then select Reset Network Settings
    3. Enter your password when it requests it
    After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone 6 won't connect to home WiFi - Password Incorrect!

    So, I got my brand new iPhone 6 yesterday.. Everything seems to work fine, except for internet connection..
    Every time I attempt to connect, it rejects me, and tells me that the password is incorrect.
    I also, can't really reach the the network by walking only 10 meters away.. I really have to stand right next to the router to get a chance.
    I've tried reseting my phone completely, and it still doesn't work.
    I can easily connect at school, that why I really can't decide if it's a hardware issue, or if it's my home network.
    I just don't get it... Because we're a lot of users at home, we got tons of devices connected to the specific network. And its working impeccable.
    So my question is.... Does this have something to do with iOS 8 and it's wellknown bugs, or do I have to get my iPhone replaced?

    I just tried this and it worked, hopefully it works for you too, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out and nothing worked, I tried rebooting both my phone and the router, turning the airplane mode, etc etc I even took the password requirement off my router and still it would say "unable to join network"
    All along it was my router and not my phone.
    The routers have a list of allowed devices, called MAC filtering addresses, I had to manually add my phone's address and that fixed the "incorrect password issue"
    I went to General > About > Wi-Fi address (copy that long number/letters thing) then log into your router and access the MAC filtering allowed devices list and enter that address in there and save it, that indicates to your router that your phone is allowed to access the network.
    As soon as my husband added that address I tried entering the network password on my phone and finally it connected
    Good luck!

    If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

  • My iPhone 4 won't connect to our WiFi at home, but will at other WiFi spots.  However, my parent's iPhones work and connect just fine at home using WiFi.  I have called and talked to several people and no one seems to be able to help me.

    The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
    Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
    If that doesn't work then
    Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
    If that doesn't work
    Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
    Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    I hope one of these will help.

  • IPhone 4s connected to home wifi but won't allow connection to internet etc...

    We recently received a new modem from the cable/internet company and although the iPhones indicate they are connected to home wifi they won't connect to facebook, yahoo, google, update email. Basically we are using our data in our home with a working internet. The computers are working fine. I have spent a few hours with the cable company and the phone company trying to solve this issue. They both say it is an issue with the other party....we have not update to the new OS yet... could this be a setting issue within the phone not responding to the new modem? Should we try updating the phones OS?
    my kids are running through their data...any advice would be helpful. I have already had to pay for the unsuccessful help of the cable company.

  • New phone won't connect to home network, works fine on other networks.

    I have a new 5s and it will not connect to my home wireless network. It connects fine to other networks. I have tried resetting network connections, resetting the router and all other things I can think of.
    My wife also has a 5s that connects fine and all of our other  devices connect fine.
    Here's the rundown:
    my 5s with 7.0.2 does not connect at home
    wife's 5s with 7.0.0 connects at home
    ipad 3 with 7.0.0 connects at home
    ipad mini with 6.0 connects at home
    Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    There must be a problem with the radio software or hardware.  I have spent the last six hours trying various things with two brand new iPhone 5Cs.  All of the other WiFi equipment in my home is fine, as were my two old iPhone 3GSs; just upgraded (or is it downgraded?) Saturday.  Even a totally erased and new set-up has the same problem.  The Genius Bar folks gave me a new phone today, and it has the same problem.  I am NOT HAPPY.
    I can connect reliably to WiFi with NO SECURITY settings (I typically use WPA2 and TKIP/AES).  You are not alone, and Apple has a problem; see all of the other complaints about dropped WiFi, no connect to WiFi, etc.  Please call Support and complain - they don't monitor these communities much.
