Lenovo g570 and wireless card problems

Ello folks,
I recently bought a Lenovo g570 Notebook, started using it all went fine recently i even upgraded my windows 7 to windows 8 x 64 and everything was swell. At some point my wireless connection was working fine but then BAM my wireless connection dissappeared from the list of connections. I must say that i had the same problem with the previous windows 7. Figured that the broadcast from the router was the problem but it turned out it wasn't sooo i'm assuming it's some kind of setting from the laptop because all other wireless using tech from home can see that particular network, all except the lenovo notebook.
Any help would be appreciated. I must say that i recently updated every driver to the latest after deinstalling the previous ones, without any result..... It's driving me nuts ....

Lenovo g570 integrated graphic card problem

Hello, i've been forced to switch from windows 8 to windows 7 64 bit , and unfortunetly I'm not able to install graphic drivers . I've tried to install the one from lenovo drivers & support but whenever i try to do it i recieve an error "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software" . I am of course not able to install AMD drivers as well . Device manager -> display adapters detects only Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and that's strange as well. I've tried to reinstall windows , tried windows 7 32bit , windows 7 proffesional N all with the same result.

Hi Hliberacki,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the Graphics and its driver features are not installing or working as expected in your G570 Laptop, the latest driver can be download from the AMD website and a simple auto detect application will install in the computer to make sure a relevant display driver for G570 Laptop is downloaded, below is the link to AMD auto detect application.
AMD Driver Autodetect
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Lenovo IdeaPad V460 Wireless connection problem

Hi, this is my first post and one of my most frustrating problems, l have brought the laptop for nearly a year now and l notice a problem with my wireless connections, it was either windows resetting the wireless card or there are a problem with the card it self, l think, the problem is solved once l restart the computer but never lasted, can u tell me whats possibly wrong with step by step solution on how to solve this, thanks in advance

hey andrew5s,
try uninstalling the wireless driver for your unit, let windows install its generic driver.
test your wireless with the generic driver.
later go to : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=287385
and install the wifi driver that is available here. test your connection again

Tip: Temp work around for Intel 7260 wireless card problems

I am currently having lot of issues with the Intel 7260 wireless card relating to unstable network connections (i.e. limited or no network connections, frequent dropouts). These problems are quite widespread, so it is not limited to Lenovo branded machines, many other brand of laptops are also having similar problem. This workaround is temporary until the laptop company and intel provides an official fix.

Step 1. Go into your control panel -> System Security -> System
Step 2. Click on Device Manager on the left hand side of the window.
Step 3. Click on Network Adapters
Step 4. Right click on Intel Wireless 7260, and click on properties
Step 5. Click on Advanced Tab
Step 6. Click on HT Mode and then select disable as an option.
Disabling the HT mode means you are operating the wireless card in G mode (54 mbps), for some people this is too slow, but it is an acceptable short term solution for preventing frequent network connection dropouts.

Third party wireless card problem

I installed a Sitecom WL-171 Wireless Network PCI Card (http://sitecom.com/drivers_result.php?groupid=5&productid=525) and appropriate driver.
I ran the set-up and the card was found and then connected to my WDS network via its own utility program.
The problem is the G4 doesn't seem to recognize this network connection.
I phoned Sitecom who said to change PCI slots which I did but didn't help and Apple want to charge me £35 with no guarantee of a fix!
Is there a simple way to manually configure network connections so the G4 reocognizes the card?

Eventually solved by copying Ethernet ip settings when it was hardwired to router into the PCI Slot 3 settings where the card is housed

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 wireless card update

Hello!
I got a Lenovo IdeaPad U350, it should be model # 2963-47U (specs. here) with half-size mini-pcie wireless adapter with Broadcom BCM4312 chip which supports only .11bg. This card connects to antennas by two feedlines.
And I want to upgrade it with Intel 5100 which is .11agn and costs only about $6 on eBay. There is empty full-size slot for the card and even two unused feedlines that go right to the point. Sorry I have no photos right now.
So I have two questions:
Shold I detach old wireless card before install new one? Cause I know that if both of them plug to the same antennas they can burn each others receivers;
Is there some other convenient wireless cards with 2 uFL connectors with is cheaper, better or more reliable? I actually not need .11a (5GHz range) as much as just .11n support.
Thanks!
Solved!

Hi,
That 2nd slot is probably for a WWAN card. I don't think that a WLAN card will be recognized there.

Upgrading wireless card problem

I have a laptop, S105-A4074.
Running Windows Xp media
I am trying to replace the Intel wireless card with an new intel WiFi Link 5300. I have loaded drivers from Intel.
The laptop identifies the card, loads drivers but gives error message that there was a problem and device won't function. The device manager indicates a code 10 error
Are there any other drivers or software that I am overlooking?

Just Google it. But, I liked this review of 6 different ones.

Lenovo S 660 SD Card Problem

Hello,
I am sorry if i am Duplicating this POST but this is somethign very Urgent please if not my SD card will be Damaged Soon!.
I purchased Lenovo S660 and i have a 16 GB SD Card which worked fine for 2 Weeks and recently it started giving Problems with the SD Card.
1. Sometimes it shows Damaged Card
2. Everytime it asks me to Change the Default Location of the Saving Data
3. Sometimes it asks to Format the SD Card
4. Even when i did format, seems like the Data never got formatted and now I Definitely doubt its something to deal with the Phone not the SD Card.
Please HELP!!!!!!

Oops ... sorry everyone ... my card is not an SD card at all. I have just discovered that it is in fact a Compact Flash card. Somewhat embarrassed.
I have started a separate new post with the words Compact Flash card in the heading.
Sorry for wasting people's time.

CQ56-115DX and wireless card

Sorry I posted in the wrong forum.

Hi,
unfortunatly you can't use a wireless mini PCI card in this notebook model, because there are no antennas installed. According to my experiences with wireless cards the best way is to use a WLAN PC card. They are very easy to install and don't cause so many problems like other cards.

Wireless Card Problems after Upgrade

Hi,
Just updated to new kernel and udev... got everything running back to normal without much problems cept my wireless card.
I got a cardbus card so I have to use ndiswrapper to load it.. but if I boot up with the card in, the computer freezes at the network module. It will boot up without the wireless card inserted.. but once I login and insert it it freezes up.
I've tried rmmod ndiswrapper module but that freezes up the comp too..
Anyone have any suggestions???

As I understand it my laptop has been fine and it uses broadcom-wl, and I just re-yaourt it each time my kernel version changes using a cable in my router. But I believe there is something called dkms and a version of the driver for it, which (I haven't read fully into it) is something like a separate tree, which can (from what little I've read) eliminate this need to recompile every time, however I literally read this 5 minutes ago, from the AUR page for broadcom-wl and a quick google so I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it than that.

Wireless Card Problem

Following the info found in this forum, I've been trying to use a Netgear WG511T wireless card on my Powerbook G3 OS 10.2. I downloaded and installed the Orangeware driver, but after inserting the card (the light on the card blinks) the computer freezes during reboot and I get a grey screen with lines across the screen. This driver is supposed to work with this card, but I haven't been able to get past the reboot stage. Everything works fine without the card inserted. Am I missing something? Are the Mac gods playing with my mind? I really want this to work.

Hello,
cmlle, I have exactly the same problem.
For months I have been using Orangeware wireless driver on my Pismo G3/400 OSX 10.4 in combination with Netgear WG511T card with no problems at all.
Suddenly one day a black square appeared on the grey background when booting my Pismo. I red that is something to do with Kernel Panic but I don’t know much about that.
So it took several rebooting until Pismo appeared to be OK. But then a few times the screen just went black. That eventually stopped but instead Pismo would just freeze.
I then discovered that if I take my Netgear card out my Pismo, it unfreezes and start to work normally. If I then try to insert the card again while the computer is on the card wouldn’t connect with my router but only one LED would flash.
I eventually reinstalled OS but to no avail. I am so puzzled.
I would be ever so grateful if somebody could make a logical sense of all these symptoms.
Many thanks again
Alex

Dreamweaver and wireless network problem

This isn't about Airport, but I couldn't find the proper place to post this, so I put it here. Please advise if I'm wrong.
I'm running Tiger (10.4.2) on a dual G5. My husband is running Windows XP on a 2GHz Dell, and also a Dell laptop. We just moved and HE is wireless now, not me. I am hardwired to a Netgear router (doesn't seem to have a name but the number on the bottom is CD814WG). We are using RoadRunner as our ISP, as we have done for seven or eight years, since its introduction into our city. TimeWarner did our installation, and everything is fine with my machine (although my husband's problems are another issue altogether!).
I should also say that we are in no way networked, and that is not our goal or plan. We have the Netgear router, and as I mentioned, I'm wired directly to it. We both use broadband individually, and have no need to share a connection.
I'm not having any problems at all with my broadband connection -- internet and Mail are fine -- but since the installation of the Netgear router I can't use Dreamweaver to upload HTML pages I create. I can use Fetch just fine, which doesn't surprise me since I've always powered right through my firewall with Fetch, while I always had to turn it off, with Dreamweaver. And of course I should say that my firewall is down when I have the uploading problem. The built-in OS X firewall is currently the only one I have installed, BTW.
When I try to upload, DW gives me a dialog box saying "Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Sychronize commands will not be available." And of course I can't upload anything.
Any ideas? I have the information the TimeWarner guy left here so I can go onto the Netgear admin page, but I don't know what to change/add so that I'm able to upload with DW. It's my understanding that port 80 is for internet connections, but as I mentioned, it's not blocked -- I can go online just fine. It's just that I can no longer upload HTML pages with Dreamweaver.
Thanks in advance...

I'm getting the same error message as you (Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time...).
I found that I could no longer upload with Dreamweaver (or see all the remote files) but I could with Transmit. However (and here the similarity ends) when I turned off the OSX firewall everything was fine.
This didn't make me feel very easy, however, as I preferred having the firewall up. I found that it would work with the firewall up if I checked the "use passive FTP" box in Remote Info in the Site Definition menu.
The Netgear router also has an NAT Firewall but I am using a Netgear router too, both hardwired on my iMac (via Airport Extreme - don't ask!) and wirelessly on my laptop. I haven't configured the firewall on that at all (I wouldn't dare!) and I'm getting through OK now. Try the passive FTP thing; it might work!

Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems).
Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
This week things have become considerably worse.
I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple.
I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
That's all for starters.
Any suggestions?
Solved!

I have a similar problem, since BT "upgraded my broardband" my home hub looses internet connection at least twice a day and I have to power reset it. the broadband shows as connected but the internet connection is lost, if I try reconnecting it fails and only a power resetr will work. I have a temp solution by fitting a time switch to the mains adaptor and reseting it at 0200 each day. but before the upgrade the home hub had worked for years and no problems. i have also replaced the origonal home hub 1 with a home hub 2 to see if that improves the situation.
welcome to the forum
This subject has been marked as solved by the originator and you will get more response if you start your own subject rather than continue here.
if you start your own subject just cut and paste your post and then in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Equium L10-273 and wireless card

I have got a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card - 802.11b/g (PA3363E-1MPC) and have placed it into the laptop, do i need to connect up the black and white wire (which are not free and connected to the main board) or is that routed to the card in the main board.

Hi
Well, as far as I know the cables are loose if the unit is wireless compatible and if its possible to upgrade the notebook with wireless card. I found some informations about this unit and it says Wireless is not enabled on this unit.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AYANXK/202-3336533-0743812
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1845528840.112894963 5@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceiaddflmhlhfjcflgceggdhhmdgmi. 0&page=Product&sku=074685&tabIndex=1
In this case Im not 100% sure but I dont think that its possible to upgrade your notebook with the Wireless card.
But if you want you can contact the Toshiba service partner to get more detailed informations about this case.
