Predictions: When will Lenovo X-series support 802.11ac ?

When do you predict we will see a Lenovo X-series laptop introduced that supports 802.11ac ?
FYI - 2 sites I read for reliable tech info, including home networking:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7127/the-joys-of-80211ac-wifi
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews
I'm getting 375-405 mbps by hanging this orb
ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-N900 USB Network Adapter
http://amzn.to/14ql6WG
off my downstairs Thinkpad's USB port .
That orb pairs with an ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 upstairs.
On the downside, it's something permanently plugged into my USB port. 
On the upside, with a USB cord extender, it easily stays put on the laptop coffee table.  And I like the idea of the antenna being further away from my brain.  Most importantly, the performance is compelling. (it seems to be twice as fast as before)

Any Lenovo laptop with mini PCI-E port should support 802.11ac as long as there's no whitelist in the BIOS. I could've put the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 on my Y470, but instead I chose the Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 since the Wireless-AC version has a bluetooth integrated which conflicts with my Broadcom bluetooth that came with the laptop. The Wireless-AC itself works, but both my Broadcom bluetooth and Intel's bluetooth won't work (they both show an yellow triangle with exclamation point on Device manager). The Wireless-N version has no bluetooth so the built-in Broadcom bluetooth works fully.

  • Should I wait to buy my iMac when apple upgrades it to support  802.11ac Wi-Fi ?

    Since apple released the Macbook air that supports 802.11ac wi fi, is it going to do the same with all the others products? Being so, I understand that if I by an imac today, it will not support 802.11ac. And this imac will not make the most out of the new airport extreme that delivers 802.11ac (even though the new airport extreme supports 802.11n), isn't that right?

    Well, it is reasonable to expect that, yes, the other hardware will get upgraded to ac as it gets updated.  As to when any particular model line will get updated, that is anybody's guess.  Nobody has any idea how long you may have to wait for that one particular feature.  Only you can decide if you are better off waiting or getting what you need now.
    Are you even maxing out your 802.11n network speed and bandwidth now?  If not, then having ac is sort of moot, isn't it?  Sort of like having a car capable of 200mph, but the traffic volume never lets you get above 70 anyway, it really just does not matter.

  • When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

    Hi all
    I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
    I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
    Thanks!

    Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
    does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.

  • When will the Camera Raw Support Cannon G7X?

    When it is. Adobe never makes those kinds of announcements in advance.

  • When will Lightroom and Elements support the Nikon D600?

    When will Lightroom and Elements support the Nikon D600?  In the meantime is there a workaround so the D600 raw files can be exported to Lightroom or am I simply out of business until Adobe develops the needed patch?
    As best as I have been able to figure out I may as well rebox the 600 and go back to my older, supported camera, until whenever.

    A: What were you using before your precious D600 showed up today.
    A D90 with good glass.
    Nikon 70-200 f2.8, Nikon 24-70 f2.8, Voigtlander 58 f1.4, Tokina 11-16 f2.8.
    Now I need to get a good FF wide solution for the D600.
    Trigger on the D600 is much more stiff than my D90 so I'm having to press down a bit harder to get the AF confirmation. Just need to get used to that I guess.
    FYI, JPG files right out of the camera are looking good.
    B: Don’t you think Adobe wants to sell you the next generation product/upgrade to accommodate all of our insatiable photographic pursuits???
    I had been using Apple's Aperture and switched to Lightroom a couple of months ago. I thought the price was actually quite fair for the power of the LR software. I did have to updgrade my computer's RAM....
    C: Have a nice glass of wine tonight and enjoy your $2K investment. I’m personally looking forward to savoring a next generation photographic paradigm.
    We did enjoy some vino last night! I was thinking I would possibly jump ship to Sony A99 and just switch to all Zeiss glass with autofocus, but I'm not convinced that the EVF is for me, and I'm really not a video shooter, mostly just landscape and real estate. Also, I the Sony turned out to be priced a bit too high for me personally in comparision to the D600.
    Buenos Dias!

  • Does the new ISR platform support 802.11ac APs

    Hello,
    Is there a Cisco WLAN controller that is compatible with the new 11ac 3700 APs that can be installed in a 3900 series ISR platform?
    Thank you
    James

    Yes and no.  And I don't know which is which.  
    The current way to stick a WLC into a router is using an SRE.  This is basically a module which contains a hard drive and you create a VM in form of a WLC.  Now the latest SRE firmware is 7.4.121.0 (release date 20 December 2013). 
    There are currently three models of APs with can support 802.11ac.  They are the 3600*, 3700 and 2700.
    Ok, here's where the "kicker" comes in.  
    The 3600 (notice the "*") can support 802.11ac if you purchase the 802.11ac Wave 1 Module.  The 3600 is supported from firmware version 7.2.X.X but the 802.11ac Wave 1 Module requires a minimum firmware version 7.5.X.X (this version is now "deferred").   So this option doesn't work.
    3700 requires a minmum of 7.6.X.X firmware and the newly-released 2700 requires a soon-to-be-released 7.6MR2 or 8.X.X.X firmware.   
    Now if what I've mentioned above doesn't confuse you, this next one will bewilder absolutely:  Read the Release Notes for 7.6.X.X and scroll down to the Supported Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Platforms section and it's stated:  
    Cisco Virtual Wireless Controllers on Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) or Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module for Integrated Services Routers G2 (UCS-E)
    Hence, my response of Yes and No.  
    I have two recommendations:  
    On the bottom of the Release Notes, there's a Feedback link.  Use it.  Put a low score (this guarantees someone will contact you quickly).  When they contact you, ask them to do a proper QC on their documentation because, frankly, they've been "dropping the ball" lately.  
    Next, contact TAC.  
    Hope this helps.

  • 3600 series with 802.11ac

    Hello,
    I noticed that the 3600 access point series will get an add-on module to support 802.11ac. This standard will support more than 1 GBit/s.
    But the 3600 series still do only have got one GBit port. Do I only see the mistake in this plan? :-)
    And does anybody has got extended information about 802.11ac in the upcoming Cisco portfolio?

    Let see what happens when using 802.11ac on 1gig.
    802.11ac is supported only on A radio, based on the channel bonding the supported datarate varies.
    roughly, it'll become 500mbps(+75mbps on G-N) due to half duplex nature, do we've an application that drives 500mbps. Since it is an edge device, it'll be connected to another AP as wgb/bridge or wireless client, shared bandwidth 500mbps remains same, using multiple hops or multiple connected device still shares this 500mbps. make sense.

  • What network adaptors support 802.11ac?

    I want to purchase the new airport/time capsule mainly for it's 802.11ac capabilities. I have a mid-2009 macbook pro.
    Wondering what network adaptors are out there that I can plug into my usb that can support 802.11ac? I found some but they only support Windows.

    Newer AC wireless would need to support USB 3 standard but of course that is not available.

    You only have one port that is near capable (actually more than capable if real numbers are used) and that is ethernet. So the best device for you is a second Airport Extreme working as bridge or extend wireless in apple terminology.. really it is not such a bad option since the cost of AC usb 3.0 will be over $100 anyway.

  • Does the 702W support 802.11AC

    Does the new Cisco 702W AP support 802.11AC standard??  and also like we have site survey image for 3600-I AP, does the 702W also have a site survey image, or I can site-survey jsut with any autonomous firmware on it.
    thanks

    Hi lovleen.arora
    from looking at the cisco documentation for the cisco 702w it does not support 802.11ac
    but maximum of 802.11n

  • Does iPad 4th generation support 802.11ac

  • When will airport express support 802.11ac

    when will airport express support 802.11ac

    We are all users here on a user-to-user support forum......just like you.....so no one here will have any idea about what a notoriously secretive company like Apple might do, or when they might do it.
    If Apple makes an official announcement regarding a new product, then we will all know.

  • HT4757 When will Apple iPhoto/Aperture support the new Leica V-Lux 4 camera RAW format ?

    I just bought a Leica Vlux-4 and found that the current verisons of Aperture and iPhoto do not reconize the RAW files like they do for earlier versions and all of the Canon & Nikon DSLR's.  I see from the support doc that Apple supports the Vlux-1 and 2, so when will RAW support be added for the Vlux-4 ?
    I dont want to move to Lightroom but it already supports the Vlux-4 camera !
    Thanks.

    while this all may be true,
    it is all speculation, and we are not supposed to speculate here; Apple does not publish the reasons for missing raw support, and for the Vlux-4 it is early days yet. There may very well be a raw update including your camera soon.The only difference I see, is that the the Vlux-1 & 2 did not come with Lightroom included, only with PSE, and the support stopped, when Lightroom was included - the direct competition to Aperture.
    Send feedback to Apple to let them know!
    Regards

  • When will Attunity SSIS connector support SQL Server 2014?

    When will Microsoft be releasing updates to the SSIS Attunity Connector for Oracle, to support SQL Server 2014?
    Here's the link to the previous version released by Microsoft, for SQL Server 2012:
    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29283
    These are not compatible with SQL Server 2014, as described here:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8a6ded27-8f6e-4957-82e3-18b26ee46817/action?threadDisplayName=attunity-ssis-connector-support-for-sql-server-2014
    I have multiple clients holding off on SQL Server 2014 upgrades until this issue is resolved.

    I think you are muddying the issue.  Attunity themselves have not produced the last 2 versions of these components - they have been distributed by Microsoft e.g. the first link from my initial question. 
    The Attunity Development Manager has already posted a response on their own forum to a similar question stating that "The decision and timeframe in which the connectors will be released for SQL Server 2014 are at Microsoft's discretion and cannot provide
    more information at this time."
    http://www.attunity.com/forums/microsoft-ssis-oracle-connector/attunity-ssis-connector-support-sql-server-2963.html
    So I want a response from Microsoft, stating when they will be addressing this.
