Restrict wifi to 802.11b on T400 with windows 7?

Hi Folks, I need to restrict connection of my intel 5300 to 802.11b at work (g is flaky for some reason). On XP, access connections would let me restrict my mode to 802.11b. In my new Windows 7 installation, however, I can't figure out how to make that happen. Is there any way to restrict my wifi to 802.11b in Windows 7? Thanks, a T400, 2764-CTO Intel 5300 AGN Windows 7

Intel My Wifi Technology on Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7

I am running Access Connection 5.62 and is able to create a wifi connection using Intel My Wifi Technology with my laptop. Other wireless devices such as iphone and laptops are able to connect to this wifi and able to obtain an ip address. However, these devices cannot access the internet through this wifi connection.
I have the Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN card for my laptop.
Anybody knows what is the problem?
Thanks.

Do you need to enable internet connection sharing in windows?

T400 with windows xp

I've ordered T400 with windows vista(without XP downgrade). Will I be able to install windows xp on it? I mean will you provide drivers for windows xp too? I understand hybrid graphics switching does not work on XP but apart from that, will there be XP drivers for sound, graphics, card slots etc. ?
another quick question, can I expect 3 hours of battery life with a 4 cell battery in balanced mode with wifi, bluetooth on?
thank you.

I'm reviving this post since I'm having the same issue. Windows XP and hangs on during shutdown. Yesterday I installed around 30 updates using the ThinkVantage program. Maybe is the Power Management Driver, BIOS update, who knows. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

Creating recovery media for T400 with Windows 7

I have a brand new T400 with Windows 7 Pro in factory condition. I purchased a larger hard drive and extra RAM to install myself. I successfully added the RAM, but I'm having trouble creating the recovery media to transfer to the new hard drive. When I go to ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery, I only have the option to create Rescue Media, not Recovery Discs. I was able to create 1 CD with the Rescue and Recovery media on it, but not the OS, applications, etc.
Am I missing something? Is there a way for me to create the Recovery discs and thus actually use the hard drive I bought (and have back up in the event of a hard drive failure)?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Coyotered, welcome to the forum,
as you have a factory install you should see in the start menu an entry for Lenovo Tools, has three red blobs as an Icon, click on it and it will open a window offering you several options including creating restore media. Alternatively you can open Computer and double click the Q drive, this should then offer you the opportunity to create the discs.

Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

Multiple ethernet networks show and the internet doesn't function on T400 with windows 7 64bit

Hello all we are having an issue with several T400 notebooks which i hope someone can help with.
the first symptom is no internet connection on the wired port-wireless has been turned off so it doesn't interfere with testing.
the network and sharing center shows multiple networks on the local area connection, one work (a domain), one public why the public one is there i don't know.
ipconfig shows it is getting an ip and dns through dchp and they are proper but two gateways are showing up one proper the other 0.0.0.0 this is where it is dying (i think)
i've done a route -p delete 0.0.0.0 but it doesn't persist through reboots for some reason.
so every reboot you have to run the route -p delete (administrative cmd prompt required) and then a release and renew and it works properly until it is next rebooted.
Does anyone know a way to get rid of the 2nd network? Beside the "public network" shows local area connection same as beside the work network if i disable one it disables the adapter and neither works.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Apple Airport 802-11n connection problems with Windows 7

I'm basically a MAC user, but my son is trying to get his Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to connect to my Apple 802-11n wifi. It will see the wifi, but when clicked on my network the connection fails before I get to input the password. Yet neighborhood 802-11n connections get to the password screen. The lap[top is a Toshibe satellite L755-S5107 running Windows 7.
I'm not very savvy on PCs, so I don't know where to look for versions of his software et al.
Anyone familiar with such problems?

Toshiba may be doing something different than other manufacturers, so your best bet might be a Toshiba support site.

Another source that may of some help is the Windows troubleshooting guide for WiFi connections:
Wired and wireless network connection problems in Windows ...
Not sure how much more help that we can provide on an Apple support site for Apple wireless routers.

T400 with Windows XP, freezes on shutdown

Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo T400 laptop (originally with vista) and installed Windows XP on it. I installed all the drivers one by one from the lenovo website, and verything works nicely- except for one hitch. When I go to shutdown or restart, it starts shutting down and then at the screen "windows is shutting down" everything freezes in place. I cant move the mouse and it won't shutdown no matter how much time I give it. So I have to manually shut it down using the power button. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before and know of a fix? Thanks very much,
Thio

T400s with Windows 7 RTM doesn't have undock option

I just purchased a T400s, scrubbed it completly and installed Windows 7. I'm gradually installing Vista drivers in hope of getting some advanced functionality. I also purchased a Series 3 advanced dock.
The Start menu doesn't show an undock option.
Is there a specific driver that enables this functionality?

Hmm, I was wondering how you were going to pull of the installation of ThinkVantage and the Service volume after a complete wipe with a retail copy of Win7.
Is there such a 'blessed' upgrade path? Perhaps new OEM discs that have it for restore?

How to run Lenovo t400 with Windows XP in safe mode

Hi guys,
I caught a Spyware Portection Virus this morning while i was doing research on fish disease. The virus isn't letting me run any programs except Internet Explorer. I have found the program to delete it but I need a way to run it so the best way is to run Windows XP on safe mode. So how do you run windows xp in safe mode. I can't access the Microsoft Configuration program (msconfig). Any ideas of how to work through bios to boot up in sade mode?

T400 with Windows 7 hangs on boot

This problem crops up every couple of months. After installing something, including Windows updates, the thing appears to re-boot properly. However it hangs immediately as soon as I try to launch any application. Nothing at all works. Sometimes I can re-boot in safe mode and roll back the system, but sometimes the only way to get the thing working is to hand it over to the techs who re-install Windows. Has anybody else seen this problem? I have googled it for months but come up empty. Thanks.

run the hdd diagnostic tool from the bios menu.

AP with 802.11 G Vs clients with 802.11b

hi
i've got more access point 1200 series with he 802.11g but the client are 802.11b . Can the client 802.11b connect at the AP with 802.11 G ? Now i don't resolve this problem anche the client 802.11b connect only with the ap 1200 series with 802.11b
Thanks for all

> If you disable the "b" data rates, you've pretty much blocked "b" clients.
A-ha... As i can understand i must disable 1.0, 2.0, 5.5 and 11.0 speed's.
"To set the 2.4-GHz, 802.11g radio to serve only 802.11g client devices, set any Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) data rate (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54) to Basic."(c) Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points 12.3(7)JA
This the same thing as entering `speed throughput ofdm`? Command disables all 802.11B data rates as you recommend.
> They may be able to respond / attempt association (that all happens at either one or two mbps for either "b" or "g" ... long or short preambles), but since they dont have compatible data rates, they can never connect.
I know... But, AFAIK, when 802.11G AP "see" 802.11B client in his coverage area AP "downgrades" to 802.11B to allow this client associacion. Your recommedation prevents this, i'm right? Try to understand me, many years i used damn D-Link (my boss love it) but one day i sad "Cisco or on no any kind wireless :E" and now i have dosens AP-1200 with my many questions... All want now i want - is set "G-only" (in dlink's terms) like function...
Thank you
P.S. Sorry for my english

Sure, disable security on the router completely for now. Now try to connect with no security. Once done and verified go back and add security back on of WPA2-AES with a new password and try again.

Internet sharing wifi 802.11b/g

Hi. I don't know if this is possible or maybe I'm looking at it at the wrong way. I am trying to share internet from my MBP via Wifi. But the other non mac laptops can't connect to it. They can see the wifi connection, but they can't connect to it.
I'm thinking that my MBP is broadcasting in 802.11n while the other laptops only have 802.11b/g. If this is the case, can i make my MBP broadcast in 802.11b/g?
If this isn't the case, what can I do to give them internet?
My ipod touch does get internet from this broadcast though.
Thanks in advance.

You can definitely share wireless from your laptop by setting up what's known as an 'ad hoc network'. Usually this means that the IPs issued are in the 169.254.x.y range, which is otherwise better known as APIPA and when not being used as an ad hoc network range indicates that there's a problem with the DHCP server.
You can also turn on DHCP yourself and set up a valid private range, usually in the 192.168.x.y range.
Your laptop will work with 802.11n, g, b, and a systems.
You will need to turn on Internet Sharing, select the relevant ports, and turn off the relevant firewall entries. Other devices will need to pick up the signal (which will not be strong) and will need to use the correct network.

Lenovo Ideacentre B540p Wifi 802.11b/g/n Able to Detect 5Ghz?

I am currently using asus router RT-N56U (Dual band - 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz) to share a 200mbps fibre boardband.
However, Lenovo B540p wireless network connection is unable to detect the router's 5Ghz network, only able to detect 2.4Ghz. I thought 802.11n is supposed to detect both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz?

hi wenlianglo,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Wifi cards provided on this model onlys supports single band up to 802.11b/g/n 2.4ghz
It will not be able to detect the 5ghz band network.
It is somewhat similar to this brand and model that max out at 2.4ghz
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/wireless-n-7260-bluetooth...
The 5ghz version of that is a Wireless AC 7260 that operates at 2.4 and 5ghz.
