S230u Thinkpad Twist Intel Wireless Card Compatability?

Is there an official list as to what Wireless Cards will work with the Lenovo Twist. I know when they were sold you had two options of cards, and had to decide if you wanted the Intel which supported Miricast or the Broadcom version which supported 5Ghz. Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 BGN & BT 4)Thinkpad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) Now there are Intel Cards out that support all of the above such as the Advanced-N 6235, but I can find no information if this or any other Intel cards will work with the Thinkpad Twist. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

There was an interesting post on Amazon about wireless cards for the Twist. I'm going to try to upgrade from my Broadcom to an "Intel WiFi part 2230BNHMW chip with "FRU P/N 04W3765" written right on the face of the card" on my 3-year-old Twist, based on the poster's info: "Some Twists come with WiDi support and some don't. Mine didn't. It had the newest dual band (2.4 and 5 g) WiFi card that doesn't support WiDi because it isn't made by Intel. Lenovo did this all to save a couple of bucks. So I brought a WiFi card that did support WiDi and Lenovo had whitelisted the card and I had to return it to get a single band, "Lenovo certified", Intel chip. It would have been nice if Lenovo stated that it didn't have the correct WiFi card for WiDi. You will need the Intel WiFi part 2230BNHMW chip with "FRU P/N 04W3765" written right on the face of the card - the 04W3765 is the Lenovo part number. This is the only chip that will get past Lenovo whitelisting that will make WiDi work. Using the new Intel Wifi card had no impact the Twist's WiFi performance at my house. When I installed the WiFi chip, I didn't have to update any drivers. The computer automatically did it upon booting. The chip was very easy to install and if you go to the Lenovo Twist support website the manual shows you exactly how to do it. However, I did have to update the Audio driver using the Lenovo driver website. This is important because I updated all of the drivers using the Lenovo website when I got the computer. However, the Lenovo website failed to update the audio drivers. So when I first used the WiDi I had no sound. It was very easy to update but you will likely need to update the audio drivers separately should you do what I did. Once I installed the WiDi software for Windows 8 (from the Lenovo Website) and added the Neatgear Push2TV 3000 to my TV, it worked like a charm (I also updated the software on the Push2TV 3000 - PTV3000 that I purchased from Amazon. However, I don't think that this was critical)."

Intel Wireless Card doesn't work with Linksys?

My wired computer works great with the WRT54GX2, but my wireless cannot hold a signal for very long. Support says they can't help me because I have a Intel wireless card. Intel does not support for that card anymore and I can't see where to buy a Linksys card. Please, help.

Device failed to start - Code 10 - Intel Wireless Card on NB550D

Hi everyone,
It's just a normal Toshiba NB550D netbook
The only thing that I change is the Wireless Card inside it: the original is a common Atheros half mini card. Recently I have the urge to use internet in 5 ghz (frequency).
Thus, I decide to replace the old one with the *half mini card Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN*
It doesn't turn out so well. The driver is not recognised or more precisely the windows tries to install the driver but FAIL is reported. Device manager tool shows an "!" next to the network card and when I go the its properties at general tab: "*The device failed to start - Code 10*"
I tried many ways to uninstall the driver and reinstall again ; also tried to download drivers from toshiba website for intel network card.
Nothing works so far and yeah I just don't know what to do now.
The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm.
Please help me solve this problem. I really need to use dual band (2.4 and 5 ghz) internet.
Appreciate any help!!

>The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm
Regarding the error code 10:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/en-us
+The Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software that is installed in Windows.+
I dont think its Wlan card issue it could be a compatibility problem between the BIOS and the WLan card.
Not all devices are supported by BIOS.
But at the other hand the WLan card appears already in device manager and therefore I think there should not be a BIOS compatibility issue.
Did you check if chipset would handle the Wlan card properly?

S12 Wireless card compatibility

I noticed that S12 (nvidia) rejects other Wireless Mini PCIe cards
with error message "card not authorized".
Is there a list of cards that are accepted?
My card has a suspected defective contact. I expect that I must replace it soon.
Lenovo, please provide us with a BIOS update that is less restrictive.
Thank you.

Hi fr0ggie,
This should explain why it doesn't work. Lenovo matches the card to the antennae in the computer in order to comply with FCC regulations regarding interference.
Any replacement wireless card has to have an FRU part number and be branded for a Lenovo. A generic card won't work, even though it might be the same exact card.
If you suspect a bad contact, remove the card and gently clean the contacts with a pencil eraser.

Intel wireless card and Channel 13... on a Z61m running windows xp

Hi guys
I need to configure the built-in Intel wireless 3945abg lan card on my Z61m to use Channel 13 to pick up the modem/router for internet access.
I gather it can (from the Intel site) outside the US and inside the US it uses channels 1-11:
http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-006064.htm
I have not found any way to configure windows to select channel 13 on the device settings, nor in the Intel software.
Sorry if this is too general a description!
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,
glad you could find one.
If you go to page 80 of the Manual pdf you'll see it's only necessary to pop the battery, palm rest and keyboard off in order to be able to swap the card out, or refer to the relevant movies in the following order; battery first, then palm rest followed by keyboard.

Intel wireless card and Airport Extreme: non compatible

Hi,
just to let you know that after hundreds of test I've found that the new Airport Extreme base station sends non compatible singal that it's not seen by the wireless card of my Acer (the second computer in my home...after a Mac, of course). The card is the Intel Pro Wireless Lan 2100 3b.

HI,
i can not agree, that APE does not support my centrino notebook.
i got a dell it worked, i have tested acer with the same wireless lan card (intel BG 2200 mini PCI) it did not work.
with macbook it works, too.

WLC 5508/2504 - Wireless users having their Citrix sessions disappear randomly! Cisco APs, Intel Wireless Cards..

Last year we built a new citrix 6.5 farm on 2k8 r2 servers. Previously, we had a 4.5 farm running solid.
With the new farm, wiresless users connecting through ANY cisco wireless controller/ap will get disconnected at what seams "peak" times.
For example, a user will launch a published application at 8:05 in the AM, and a few minutes later; the application will just disappear. Within the mgmt console, it will show the session as disconnected. The users device will remain connected to the WLAN, and if they double click the application, it will relaunch immediately.
This never happened on our old farm! We are using the same laptops + some newer updated models.
It is also important to note that fat client/thin clients do not experience this at all. I can open an application on my desktop and leave it open all day, where as if I do such on a laptop it is bound to disappear atleast once during the day. Aside from hitting the WLC; both packets take the same path.
I'm working with Citrix right now gathering logs; but nothing is jumping out right away at us.
Has anyone here experience something similar?
This discussion is the same thing thats happening to me I believe;

If you need anymore information, please ask!

Wireless Card Compatibility

I just won a Dell Inspiron 1370 laptop in a raffle, and I'd like to set up a wireless network between it and my iMac using an AEBS. The laptop comes equipped with a Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card. Will this wireless card pick up the signal from an AEBS?

Yes.

Thinkpad Twist - Intel HD4000 GPU Driver via Windows Update

I installed what Intel claims to be the latest graphics driver, but after I installed that driver windows update is telling me they have a newer version. I always try to avoid drivers through winup if I can get them through the mfg. Anyone have any pro's / cons with

Wireless Cards compatability with Cisco ACU

We have Lucent Orinoco PCMCIA cards in our laptops and have just purchesed some Aironet 350's, they work ok with the Orinoco drivers and client manager software,but i can't get the Cisco client ACU software to recognise the cards as i want to get the Cisco managment software working. Will the Cisco ACU software only work with Cisco cards?

Yes, Cisco ACU is for Cisco cards only.

Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others. I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.

Hi!
Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

Intel Wireless Display not installing on W530

I noticed recently that Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) was not installed on my W530, despite my recollection of installing it via Lenovo Update. So I tried downloading the latest version both from Lenovo (3.5) and directly from Intel (4.0), but neither will install on my system. During the install, I get a message saying "This platform is not compatible with Intel WiDi or the application is in use. Please see the log for more details." Now, since I have an Intel i7 CPU with HD 4000 integrated graphics and an Intel wireless card (Centrino Ultimate 6300), my system meets the system requirements for WiDi. i have also updated the Intel PROSet wireless software to the most recent version, as recommended by Intel's website.
Kaso suggested on the Notebook Review forums that this could happen if I clean installed Windows instead of booting from the Lenovo-supplied OEM image, since there may be specific registry keys or values that signify the system supports WiDi. As i did clean-install Windows, I'm wondering if anyone knows what those specific registry keys or values might be, so I can add them in.
And if anyone has a different idea why WiDi won't install on my system, I'd appreaciate your input as well. Thank you.
Thinkpad W530, i7-3720QM, 1920x1080 screen, 32GB RAM, dual SSDs (Samsung 830, Crucial M4 mSATA), Quadro K2000M, 9-cell battery, DVD burner, backlit keyboard, Bluetooth, Intel 6300 wireless card

I have had a number of difficulties with Intel WIDI aswell on my W530. And I will give you a few recommendations.
I recently clean installed my windows and used the Lenovo update tool to install and update all drivers. Then I installed the WIDI app from the lenovo page (3.5 something). Then it works like a charm. My windows reinstall is some coorporate reinstall. So it is not Lenovo generic windows.
You cannot install WIDI for some reason if you have your computer connected to any monitors or in the dock. I think it has something to do with the installer having difficulties with recognizing the Intel HD 4000 when you are at the same time using the NVIDIA GPU.
I have tried a lot of different combinations/versions of WIDI, Intel proset and HD4000 drivers before the reinstall and not all of them work. First I updated all the drivers and it did not work, then I rolled back the drivers and it still did not work. Finally I got it to work after hours of work. But I do not remember what versions I used when it did finally work. After the windows reinstall everything works.
I am using:
Intel WIDI 3.5.40
Intel HD 4000: 9.17.10.2843
Intel Proset: 15.6.1.0
I am very hesitant upgrading any of the drivers/apps because I fear it will cause problems with WIDI.
Let me know if you have any questions. Perhaps I am able to answer those.
I should perhaps mention that WIDI is not exactly the perfect technology. I have a brand new LG TV with WIDI, but I still encounter pixelations and other stuff once in a while, but I think it has something to do with my router (which is in another room) and a lot of WIFI noise in my apartement building with a lot of different WIFI connections.
A moment ago I launched WIDI to look for the version number and this is what I saw. So perhaps I need to update something today. I will look into it when I get home where my TV is.

Does the X1 Carbon have Intel Wireless Display? (Wi-Di, widi)

I need to purchase several 2nd Gen X1 Carbon units, (4th Gen Intel Haswell Core i7 models - I'm thinking of the 20A7002WUS model)
I cannot find anywhere that says that this model has Wi-Di. (Intel Wireless Display)
The wireless card in the model I'm looking at is the Intel Dual Band Wireless 7260AC and the specs of that card lists Wi-Di as being included. See here: ark.intel.com/products/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-7260
I do find it strange that Lenovo doesn't list Wi-Di anywhere in the specs or product details for the X1 series. I also know that OEMs customise wireless cards all the time, often disabling certain features. I've found other forum posts here that suggest that Lenovo has disabled Wi-Di on the Intel wireless card. I've also found other articles and reviews in various places that suggest that Wi-Di does work but I haven't seen anything conclusive.
So - in short - does the X1 Carbon Core i7 20A7 series have Intel Wireless Display?

The X1 Carbon 20A7 supports WiDi! Although haven't had a chance to try it on mine.
