System set up freshly - WIFI not working

Hey there,
after some virus problems I set up my system from the scratch, formating the harddrive and reinstalling Windows. I also downloaded the Lenovo System Updater, installed all updates and downloaded the ThinkVantage Solution Center. Now, the PC works again BUT the WiFi adapter does not work. It seems to be non-existent, if I press F9 it says I am suppossed to press the hardware switch. I have a ThinkPad Edge 15, it does not have such a switch at all.
In the hardware manager i find one network device without driver, so I suppose this is it. However, no driver seems to work. I downloaded the WiFi dirver(s) from the Lenovo website and installed them, nothing happens. What can I do?
Here are my specifications:
-Thinkpad Edge 15
-Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM)
- the driver I installed which did not work: Intel Wireless LAN (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad
Thank you so much in advance for you help!!! I am pretty certain that the hardware works, before I set uo the system WiFi was not at all a problem.
Best Wishes
Tobias

@pastaohnenamen...
did you get the first driver pack from here:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT072025 ?
have you tried any of the other driver packs? maybe:
ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad
or
ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows XP - ThinkPad
depending on your os.
eta: based on some further searching, i'm pretty sure that the driver i've referenced will work for you.
please post back once you've had a chance to test.
cheers.

  • I have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    i have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    Is it this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Hey there. You didnt state what operating system you are using but I was able to find two articles that should help resolve your issue. 
    Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7)
    Fixing Bluetooth Issues
    These articles will go through all the basic troubleshooting steps. Let me know if this helps resolve the issue at all.
    Thanks!

    The RAW setting in Bridge is not working. When I open Bridge I can see only icons, no images. The RAW tool icon is grey, not active. I am going on a trip Tomorrow and I need Bridge to be working. It was working earlier.

    I never notied that icon before, and I've been using Bridge for 7 years.
    Usually, when you have no image previews for raw files, this means that your Camera Raw plug-in is older than your camera. People always come across this problem when they use a new camera with older software.
    To be sure, we need to know which camera you are using, and which version of Camera Raw. To save typing this out for the three-thousandth time, please follow this page which I wrote earlier:
    http://yphotography.co.uk/articles/get-adobe-camera-raw-acr-open-photos/
    This covers the subject, which is by far the most commonly asked question about opening raw files by a country mile.
    If everything checks out fine, let us know. If not, give us more information and we may be able to fix this for you.
    PS. Please just open one discussion per problem. There are three threads on this now. It makes it difficult to follow.

  • How to fix iphone 4s wifi not working

    How to fix wifi not working on iphone 4s after it is updated to ios 7 ?
    Here is what fixed my wife's phone after several weeks of no wifi. We had removed the Sims card and transferred to another phone which was running ios 6. My son was visiting and said Apple had come out with an update a few days ago and he decided to attempt to install it on the 4s phone that had no wifi and no cellular because the sims card was removed. He tapped the icon to update the new ios version and received the message to the effect that No WiFi available would you like to search for available networks. He selected yes and immediately the wifi came on and has been working now for two days. Also we never installed the update to the new ios.
    My advice is to remove your sims card like we did or trun off your cellular and attempt the update to see if you get the message to search for available networks and then of course choose yes. Go figure. Hope this works for you.

    Bug: LCDS-544 - Scenario where two components have seperate channel sets with overlapping channels not working.
    QA: Yes
    Doc: No
    Checkintests Pass: Yes
    Details:
    * Hunting to a new channel within a channelset never triggered a disconnect from the previous channel(s). This isn't a problem in general, but does becomes a problem when an app defines two distinct channelsets containing at least one shared channel at the head of the list. In this case, the first channelset hunts past it and connects on a later channel. But when the second channelset hunts through (triggering a connect fault when it hits that initial shared channel that can't connect), the fault is processed by the first channelset as well (incorrectly).

    Running the script by python2 solves it for me:

  • Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

    Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

    You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
    If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

  • How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working  somehow the option were unchecked

    How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working? 
    Somehow the first couple of trackpad functions were unchecked and since they are not operational I can't click or tap to turn them back on.
    I've tried shutting down and restarting and holding my hand on the trackpad for 3-4 sec. then sliding it off (another post had this suggestions).
    I don't use the function keys at all to navigate the computer so I am at a total loss if the trackpad does not work.

    Thanks for the response.
    Unfortunately this did not work - the tap to click is still not checked - and the tap function does not work.
    I did try it twice - and even used a stopwatch to be sure I got the time right.
    I noticed there is also an instruction to reset PRAM (was with the SMC reset instructions).  Is that something that may help?

  • Network controller& USB controller driver not found and wifi not working

I am using window 7 sp1 (32 bit) For network controller device ID is PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&SUBSYS_804A103C&REV_01 secondly  univeral serial bus driver(usb) controller   not found i installed all drivers from above link  also update windows  but still no solution hardware id of usb controller is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9CB1@SUBSYS_80C2103C&REV_03  and last i am unable to download  AMD/Intel Switchable High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver. the download link not working KINDLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE THANK YOU    

    Update: While the driver I knew would work has not shown up yet, I did some detective work and explored some other broadcom wireless card driver folders from some HP links, and I found one that should work for you. While it says it is for HP desktop PC's, they put the exact same wireless card form factor in a desktop PC that they do in a notebook PC. I see no reason why this driver would not work, since the setup information file contains the same hardware ID that you posted.  Here is a partial copy and paste of the driver setup information file and you can see the hardware ID you posted is supported by this driver.  x86 - Win7

  • Hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working.

    hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working. not able to find proper drivers for 32 bit win.7 os. need urgent help..
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    I can give you the link to the wifi driver, if you do the following steps to post the hardware ID for the wireless card, so I can figure out what model wireless card the notebook has...
    To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
    Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
    Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
    Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

  • TS1398 Iphone 5 Wifi not working

    Hi Apple .

Now it become more worst sometime i unable to turn on my wifi .... pls email me for solution . I purchase my iphone from Apple Store online from malaysia but currently im working at oversea . Can i get warranty at Taiwan ?

    The iPhone warranty is not international.  Apple will only honor the warranty in the country where the iPhone was sold.
    If your WiFi connections button in Settings is greyed out, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if you want to Troubleshoot, and can access the router, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 those may help but you probably need to have the iPhone tested by an Apple technician.
