Lenovo H515s wireless card

I have an H515s Type 10126, running Windows 8.1.
It didn't come with a wireless card.
This is something I'd definitely like to add.
Does anybody know which ones are supported by H515s ?
Thanks!

hi JLB30
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
H515s that came with Wireless capabilities has this port on the Motherboard
If you have that on your Motherboard then try looking online for this Lenovo FRU/ Part number
"lenovo 11200354" this hould direct you to resellers who have this available,
Make sure your getting not just the exact brand but be sure it has Lenovo FRU tag 11200354
Hope this helps

Lenovo G505s Wireless Card not detected no driver

I have a new lenovo g505s that came with windows 8. I removed all windows 8 partitions and installed windows 7. The install went great but I have no drivers. Installing the recomended LAN driver worked just fine and the ethernet is working great, but installing the lenovo recomended WLAN driver failed. (wlan118w7.exe)
There is no networks showing up when I try to connect to a one.
I have no wlan device in device manager, and an unknown 'Network Controller' showing up with yellow exclaimation point.
The qualcomn driver that is distributed by Lenovo fails to install sometimes, stopping on a 'No Appropriate driver to be installed' error, and exiting.
When it does complete the UI installs fine, but shows no mac addresses or packet activity.
Here are the Hardware Ids for the 'Network Controller':
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_302617AA&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_302617AA
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_0280
I have tried installing various drivers for this model and a few other similar model wlan cards. I have also tried the windows 8/8.1 drivers for my card.
the default windows 7 drivers definately did not work and windows update didnt help anything.

hi kr094,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
You can try this
Download this file and extract it to a folder.
Now Open Device Manager rightclick on that network controller and choose update driver.
when a Window pop up choose Browse my computer for driver software
You should have this window
Click on the Browse box and direct it to where you extract the File i asked you to download,
continue with that and it should work,
Let me know your findings
Cheers!

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 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!

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

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 9285

Very 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.

Lenovo C200 All in One Wireless card issues

I have a brand new Lenovo C200 Atom DC 2 All In One PC (Desktop). I seem to have a problem with the wireless adaptor which is a Atheros AR9285. When I first power up the PC it connects to my router and gets internet speeds of around 5MB per sec, after a few minutes it spows down to around 120kb per sec! I called Lenovo support and after holding for 50 mins to get through I was told that I needed to contact my internet service provider who would be able to change the channel on the PC and improve things!
I have seven other PC's connected to my router and none of them have any problem. Also I cant transfer files from my central storage drive with the Lenovo because the connection times out because it is so slow. I am convinced it is a problem with the wireless card, there is nothing else that could possibly cause this that I can see. Also this is the 2nd Lenovo with the same fault, I sent the original one back and this is a replacement.
Technical support are supposed to be calling me back tomorrow but I dont hold out much hope with them after they told me to speak to my internet service provider.
Has anyone got any ideas what I could do to cure the issue?
Any help appreciated.

OK after many hours of searching I found the problem, the issue isn't exactly with the Lenovo although you would expect them to supply a wireless card that is compatible with Windows 7!
The issue is with the Atheros AR9285 wireless card, if you Google the Atheros card you will find numerous posts where people have had issues with this, there isn't any one straightforward fix, it seems dependent on what router you are using and how you have things set up.
I played around with my router settings and the settings on the Lenovo and finally found a configuration that worked for me, the Lenovo dosent like some channels on the router but does others, if anyone else gets this I would recommend changing the router setting from auto channel select to one channel between 1 and 11 to find one that works best. That seemed to fix
mine.
Thanks a bunch Lenovo support, call my internet service provider, yeh right! Also when you keep people waiting on hold for 50 mins before answering a simple "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting" would be nice not an argument with your CS rep saying "You haven't been on hold for that long".
Anyone with the most basic knowledge should know that if files can not be transferred from a central drive by the wireless card its nothing to do with the internet service provider!

Replacement wireless card for Lenovo X60

I have tried a few cards and they don;t work because of a bios 802 error saying the pcie card is invalid and the computer won't boot. Is there a way to mod the bios and remove the whitest? Alternatively where can I find a list of accepted wireless cards.

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 ....

hi mikydutza34,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you upgraded to WIndows 8 Pro, check these article as it's similar to your problem.

G500 Driver_Power_State_Failure problem most likely related to Wireless Card

I recently upgraded my Lenovo G500 laptop to 8.1.
After that, I've been constantly getting BSOD every time I modify some settings on my WIreless card (Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter). For instance, changing my MAC under the"Locally Administered MAC Address" causes the Wireless configuration window to stop responding, then my wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled (I try to enable it and it says that it is enabling but the adapter remains faded out and locked in a disabled state) unless I restart or power down my laptop. If I restart, the laptop hangs for 3-5 minutes and then a BSOD comes up and suggests that I look online for DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
I have updated the adapter as well as most, if not all outdated drivers on my laptop with the 8.1 drivers offered on Lenovo's support pages (This includes power management, BIOS, LAN, Audio, etc.). Even attempting to voluntarily disable my wireless card causes the BSOD.
As long as I don't touch/modify such settings, I have wireless internet and all seems fine but once I do what I stated above, my laptop crashes with a BSOD. I have looked up and searched about such a BSOD but my laptop has zero problems when I put it to sleep or wake it up. My laptop functions practically flawless except for when changing/modifying settings on my wireless card.
For instance, on Whocrashed.exe:

I ran SFC /scannow and it did detect corrupted files but that has been resolved using the Restorehealth command prompt. I have tried booting to safe mode, uninstalling the adapter and then updating straight to the most current 8.1 driver and that still causes the BSOD.
I'm almost certain that my wireless card probably is defective, or the laptop is defective. I'm still under warranty but I'm hoping to fix this issue before resorting to what I deem as last resorts of factory restoring the laptop or calling Lenovo support.
I am also providing minidumps, driver lists and a whole ton of useful information on my Skydrive:
http://sdrv.ms/17OIYda
Any suggestions or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I've exhausted all other methods.
Moderator Note; subject edited; system type added

"If I restart, the laptop hangs for 3-5 minutes and then a BSOD comes up and suggests that I look online for DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE."
I had the exact same problem on a Thinkpad Helix after upgrading to Windows 8.1, although I do not know if it was in anyway related to the wireless hardware as you described. However, I noted that in the Device Manager many wireless hardware components had been highlighted with an exclamation mark since the problem had occured (e.g. Bluetooth, Geolocation, Broadband). Here is how I fixed it:
1. I went to System Settings / Device Manager.
2. Disabled all devices that were highlighted with an exclamation mark. I noted that the Device Manager would not respond after disabling so I closed it and then chose to not wait (i.e. forced the Device Manager to close).
3. Repeated step (2.) until all devices highlighted with an exclamation mark were disabled.
4. Restarted the laptop (I don't know if I had to force the shut down via power off at that time, but it may be necessary or you wait for the BSOD).
5. Repeated step (1.) and uninstalled all the drivers of the devices disabled in steps (2.) to (3.), enabling the option to remove the driver from the system, where possible.
6. Restarted the system. This time the shutdown should only take a few seconds.
So far, everything works fine again and I cannot identify any limitations through the disabling and uninstalling of devices (esp. wireless devices do work flawlessly).
Hope this works for some of you guys out there as well. Let me know.
Good luck!

Can't change MAC address of my wireless card on Windows XP

Dear Forum Members,
I have recently bought a notebook, Lenovo IdeaPad G550L (I haven't found section for the G series here on the forum) and would like to use its WiFi adapter (BCM4310 according to Everest) with explicitly changed MAC address. I installed the recommended driver, available from Lenovo's website, version 5.10.38.14. I tried the common way to change the MAC address, went to Control Panel -> Network Interfaces -> Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter -> Configure... -> Advanced -> Locally administered MAC address, and changed it to a different address (without ":" or any separator characters). Unfortunately this common solution won't work at all. Although, no error messages are produced when changing it (so it seems successful) my wireless router shows me the original MAC address of my integrated wifi card. Tried to restart my computer, my router, everything.
* Tried different drivers, downloaded a driver from HP which had a separate wireless configurator, Broadcom Wireless Utility. It worked like the driver from Lenovo (except this one hasn't got the utility), but I was still unable to change my MAC address.
* Tried a different driver from SoftPedia, version 5.10.79.14 (this is newer than Lenovo's), it didn't work either.
* Tried Nathan True's MACShift utility. It seemed to change the MAC address, but my router showed the original, so it didn't.
* Tried to look for official Broadcom drivers on www.broadcom.com but found nothing for BCM4310.
* Finally, I booted my alternative OS, the latest Ubuntu Linux, and used the kernel driver b43 for my wireless adapter. I tried to change my MAC address using the command ifconfig wlan0 hw ether .... and connected to my network. It worked, my router showed the changed MAC so the hardware (or the firmware) is capable of doing this by the right driver/firmware.
I tried to address Broadcom with the issue, sent them a letter like this post they replied that they are not competent, they wrote the following (I guess this was an automatically generated message because it got back in 10 seconds ) from [email protected]:
"As the chipset supplier, Broadcom provides driver support to our customers - the manufacturers of wireless devices - that ultimately provide products to end customers, such as wireless LAN vendors, cable modem vendors, and notebook providers. It is up to these manufacturers to provide product-specific drivers and software support to their end customers. Please contact the manufacturer of your wireless device for their current drivers"
Then I addressed Lenovo with the problem, their answer:
"Dear ******,
Thank you for contacting Lenovo, the makers of ThinkPad and ThinkCentre products. As I understand, you have purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad G550L and would like to use its WiFi adapter (BCM4310 according to Everest) with explicitly change MAC address.and you would like to know is there an official driver for Windows XP that allows you this basic feature like b43 in Linux. We apologize,Please do speak with our Idea pad technical Team at 877-453-6686 Option 1-2-1-2 for further assistance.
If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 866-42-THINK (84465) option number 2. We will be happy to assist at that time.
Once again, thank you for contacting Lenovo.
Sincerely,
Lenovo Websales/CustServe"
So this means I should call them and spend extra money for phone bill of international calls because of their fault of providing a basic feature that is to be expected from every single wireless card in the market. Should I believe that a guide over the phone is more efficient than a step-by-step solution or a link to an alternative driver? I'm getting kind of disappointed. At least they have understood (or copy-pasted) my problem, dutch comfort though.
Any ideas? Anyone experienced the same problem and solved it? Is there an official (or even unofficial) driver for this device for Windows XP that allows me this basic feature (like b43 in Linux)?
Thanks in advance,
str4ngS

Yes, I have posted this thread to different forums after I realized that Lenovo "customer care" is not likely to help me out and even wirelessforums.org members couldn't come up with any ideas for days, that's why. I have already written that helper applications like SMAC (or etherchange or macshift) don't work, because they do the same thing in the system as I change it in the driver panel, so they use the same method which simply does not work.
Locked? Definitely not. If yes, why can I change the MAC of my adapter under Ubuntu Linux using b43 open-source driver if it's really locked? Or you mean it's locked from software, because Lenovo or Broadcom didn't want their users to change their MACs or they just forgot to release a fully-functional driver? Well, then I would like to have a driver in which it's not locked, because this is a basic feature of my adapter of which the hardware is capable.
I have already contacted Broadcom, see their (automatically-generated) answer in my initial post, but I will try to do that again with more foresight.

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

Whitelist wireless cards for T430?

Hi All:
Have a T430 with the 2x2 b/g/n (Intel Wireless-N 2200) wireless card. Would like to have an a/g/n card (Intel 6205) but recall that previous thinkpads would have a cow if the card wasn't "IBM/Lenovo certified in the BIOS (whitelist). Does the T430 require the Lenovo-certified wreless card:

TVAC and other TV utilities not recognizing wireless card -- even after reinstall attempts

so first things first, im on a T61p, XP pro SP3, Intel 4965AGN
i guess we'll start from the top...
1.) TVAC works great, im happy.
2.) i go to update all my system drivers through the update utility. wireless driver update hangs midway through, and wont connect on restart. no surprise.
3.) i get the driver on a different machine from the lenovo support page. install, reboot, card works, but only through the windows utility. TVAC doesnt recognize it to configure connections, and it doesnt show up in the FnF5 menu.
4.) attempt to repair TVAC through the control panel. no dice.
5.) uninstall both the wireless card and TVAC, then reinstall in that order. nada. attempt in reverse order. zilch.
6.) attempt 5 in safe mode. still nothing. not showing up. say screw it and use the windows utility, then get pissed when i realize i need static IP switching capabilities.
so, something isnt fully un-installing, or so i'd guess. i'd assume its not a compatibility issue with the new driver, though it could be.
any advice to get it working correctly, even if its retrying a particular step?

someone must know... help!

Is my wireless card bad?

I have just spoken to Lenovo support and tried some things to resolve my wireless connectivity, but before I ship my computer back, which I really do not want to do, I thought I would ask for some help here...
I have a T510 running an Intel Centrino Ulimate-N 6300 wireless card. For quite a few weeks now, I have had problems with dropped internet connections. I first thought the problem was my internet connection or router, but I have ruled that out -- all my other computers and devices work fine -- I have concludede that there is something wrong with my laptop. This morning I remembered that I had a wireless-N usb adapter in a drawer, so pulled it, plugged it in and had immediate and fast interet connectivity, while the connection on my Ultimate-N 6300 is out. The problem with the Ultimate-N is that it is intermittent -- sometimes will not work at all, sometimes works for a little while, sometimes comes and goes within a matter of a few minutes. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and such with no luck. The Lenovo tech said he could not tell for sure and I would just have to send the machine in. Is there anything I can do to determine 'for sure' if this is indeed a hardware problem related to the card?
Thanks!

Hi couver,
Try this, launch ThinkVantage Power Manager -> Switch to Advanced mode -> Click Advanced Settings -> Scroll down and set "Maximum Performance" in "Wireless adapter settings" -> Press OK then exit. See this:- http://img824.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=lenovo1.png
