T540p issue with ThinkPad Wireless 2 x 2 BGN with Bluetooth

Hi,
I have the T540p, an uplifting experience compared to the previous brand I had, however I have been suffering from a recurring issue with the wireless connection.
Once starting up Windows 7 everything works fine except the wifi connection which refuses to connect. Putting the computer to sleep then starting it solves the issue.
I tried to tinker with options to no avail. My technical knowledge is modest so kindly I request support from your esteemed forum members.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you have issues with wireless connection in your Lenovo ThinkPad T540p.
If you have Power manager installed, make sure that wireless adapter settings in Power manager is set to maximum performance as shown below.
Also, go to control panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan settings under the power plan you have chosen -> Change advanced power settings -> Make the wireless adapter settings to maximum performance.
Next, go to the device manager, select your Wi-Fi card -> go to Properties -> Advanced -> Set "Transmit Power" to maximum, and "Roaming Aggressiveness" to lowest setting.
Also, under the "Power Management" tab, remove tick for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". And click "OK" to save the setting and reboot the PC.
Hope the above suggestions will help to resolve your concern!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Does anyone else (or has anyone else) had an issue with their wireless keyboard connecting via the Bluetooth?

The first day I got it, it was fine. Then when I woke up the next day which was less than 12 hours after hooking it up, it wouldn't connect..it let me type a couple of characters to my password, but then literally stopped. My trackpad has yet to have any issues whatsoever. Even during the keyboard malfunctioning it's been fine. In order to get the keyboard to work, I have to log into the guest account, let it be discovered, then pair it. It as now happened on 4 different days, more times than that, though. I've only had it for just over a week. I don't think there's a problem with the computer just because the trackpad is fine. The keyboard blinks that little green light when it's having this issue, too. As you know, it's normally off. Today I tried to log in for the first time and it did the same thing as the first day. It let me type a few characters, then stopped and wouldn't connect. This time, though, when I went into the guest account to let it be discovered it wouldn't let me type the numeric code to pair it. I had to hold down my power button to restart it because I was logged in on another user and it wouldn't let me restart it the normal way without typing the admin username/password...which I obviously couldn't do seeing as how I didn't have a keyboard. Does anyone else think this is a faulty keyboard I need to return? Or is this unfortunately how it works...or what? Help please...
I was at the Apple Store that week 5 times for a messed up phone that they replaced with a total of 4 replacement phones because of different issues the ones they gave me had and driving there that much almost made me say screw it to the iPhone...now I buy this very expensive iMac spending 2 grand and this happens....I'm so mad I am thinking of just returning it and giving up on Apple altogether which Idon't WANT to do...but with all I've dealt with in a 2 week period with the iPhone and now this...oh and I bought a $100 cell phone case I had to replace because it wasn't working correctly. So you see, I am beyond frustartee over Apple.....if anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it. With all of my problems I've had, you'd think they want to do more than apologize for my inconvenience. Even the techs that helped me said it was ridiculous I've had so many issues and now I'm just adding to the list..

Try this:
Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse. ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse. Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse. It should work normally now.

Problems with 3 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster

I bought 3 Wireless-G Broadband Routers with speedboost.
They all had problems. After buying a second one, I figured the first one had a defect. Then I had more problems. Is this just more bad luck? Then I bought the third one, and still had problems, especially with the program it had me install on the pcs I had at home. It just wouldn't keep a connection. Then, most of the time I had to restart the router.. Shame, I thought to myself... I wondered if linksys knew about this router and its problems.. I even tried to upgrade the firmware, and it only had problems after that on one of the routers. I just got a complaint from one of my friends about the router. I had a feeling I knew what it was once she told me the problem it had. Then I asked her the type a router it was. "Linksys" she told me and I told her my story with 3 bad routers. . It was weird..
Oh, well, hopefully linksys will look it up and see what is up with the product. Buying the 3 same routers and them not working was a little weird. At least it wasn't working the way it should have.
That is all from me.. I know this is a serious post, so reply all that want to.

What you want to do is set up your wireless security. The routers setup page
(192.168.1.1) can only be accessed IF someone can get on your wireless network first. Of course, you want to change this password to something other than 'admin' anyway. This you can do by accessing the administration tab in the setup pages of the router by going here to see how it is done.
Now, you want to secure your wireless network by going here.

Problem with the wireless speed on windows with bootcamp

I've got a problem with the following:
the wireless card of my mac pro is very slow when i run windows on my mac pro with bootcamp
When i just run OSX everything works fine, but in windows, when I connect to the wireless my wireless speed
drops to 11-18mbs.
First I thought that it was a drivers issue, but after the update of bootcamp drivers 1.4 the problem still exist.
First I had a Topcom wireless router now I've bought a Apple Airport Extreme, but the problem isn't solved yet...
The router isn't 2 meters away from my mac.
And the wireless speed is fine when i connect with my dads windows laptop...
Does anyone has a solution? using a cable isnt a solution for me because in September I will move with my mac pro one floor down.

You might want to ask this in the Boot Camp forums. As your wireless work fine under Mac OS X it sounds to be a software issue as opposed to a hardware one which means as Windows users they'll better be able to help.

IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 ! I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
What could I be doing wrong??
Thanks.

Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)

Upgrade my DV6-6126sl with an Wireless adapter Bluetooth

Hi,
I open a new topic, because searching among existing ones, I did not find useful answers.
I have a DV6-6126sl and I decided to upgrade it with a wireless card that implements the Bluetooth. analyzing the service and maintenance guide, I chose to buy the part number 657325-001, which should be compatible with both AMD and those models intel, but when I insert the card at startup hangs and does not post bios, giving an error "wireless adapter installed is not supported and then has the error" wireless (702) "," how is it possible? there is a method to unlock it, thanks

Today, the seller has sent to me an email that says: "I have the Ralink RT3090BC4 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Combo Adapter 630705-001".
According to you, since the manual is listed as "For use on all computer models:" can I try?

T540p Thinkpad Wireless card issue

Hi all,
My T540p just arrived and I promptly installed arch linux on it. To my surprise, the wireless card is not detected. I look up the specs on the lenovo site and it is just branded as "Thinkpad 2x2 wireless card", looking at hwinfo it turns out it is really a Realtek RTL8192EE card, and upon looking at reviews on the net for this particular card, it seems that even in windows there are issues making it work consistently. There are no drivers provided by Realtek nor Thinkpad, only the 8192E, CU and SE series are out. After calling support for a couple of days (my warranty did not showed up in their database) I was told there is nothing they can do given the machine was shipped with windows 8. This situation is really dissapointing to me given the past Thinkpad models are great on linux. If you are considering buying this machine, just go with the intel card. If any of you have been on the same boat, is there anything else I could do besides havng to buy the card out of pocket to make this work?

If you just got it, you could probably return it and order one in a different configuration.
I, too, recommend getting the Intel card where possible. It just seems Intel has fewer support issues than other wireless cards.
For what it's worth, with some patience it's not horribly difficult to replace the card. I had to replace a fan on a Thinkpad X-series and in the process learned about replacing the wireless card. If you follow Lenovo's manual (free) and go slow, it's not complex.
Best of luck

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

L2 Roaming issue with Avaya wireless phone on WISM -V6.0.196.0

Hello Friends,
I am facing Layer2 roaming issue with Avaya Wirless phone 3620 which are configured WPA / Pre-shared key auth with a SSID1 and face a cut or delay in the voice.
But when i use Cisco Wireless phones and try to roam between one LWAP to other i dont face a cut or delay in the vocie which are
Configured with 802.1x +CCKM auth .
Then i configured new SSID 3 with 802.1x+CCKM settings for the new Avaya wireless module 3631 , but still face cut and delay while doing Layer 2 roaming.
While i was using these AP in WDS mode i never faced this Layer 2 roaming issue with Avaya wireless phones.
In current WISM all the LWAPs are supporting properly to the Cisco phone and Wirelss laptop clients.
I request you to please let me know how do i proceed further to solve the issue and please let me know if anybugs or incompatibilty for WISM with Avaya wireless phones.
Appreciate your response.
Regards,
KA.

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ????

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?

If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck.

Iphone5 with wrt542g wireless issue

hi all

If in the event that the problem is with the router; try to upgrade the router’s firmware and then reset the router afterwards. Try also to isolate this problem by using another wireless device (like a laptop). In this way, you will be able to determine if the problem is really with the router or if it has something to do with your iphone.

Mac mini issue:lost connectivity with the wireless keyboard

I lost connectivity with the wireless keyboard and I can't unlock the lock screen.What can i do?

Sometimes powering the keyboard off by holding in the power button on the right end of the battery box and then after ten of so seconds powering up again will reestablish the connection. Other than that forcing a reboot using the power switch on the mini should restore the connection unless thereis something else going on.
If this is a recurring problem try replacing the batteries with fresh ones. If this keyboard has been paired with another bluetooth device such as an iPad or another Mac, unpair it from the other device.

Looking to buy a T540p (or other ThinkPad) - Can I get a discount?

Hi all,
Couldn't find a 'sales' or 'suport' section, but if there is one and this is in the wrong forum section please move this thread!
Just a quick question really - looking to buy a T540p (or another ThinkPad, likely an L540) this summer and was wondering if Lenovo would be able to give me any kind of student discount. I'm a student in the UK and buying this laptop for school.. If so, how would I be able to get a discount? Would I ring up sales support and inquire?
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced. I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced. My current one is working OK but does stick a bit. Seems to get worse over time. My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem. Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen. My wife has the Tour as well. She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it. It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts. When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse. Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster. As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster. If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play. My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine. I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this

Help with wired/wireless solution

Ok.. I just purchased a G5 2.7 .. my old Mac is an iMac G4 1.25.
Both computer are in the same room, and I need both to have internet access.
Based on what I've read in the forums, it would be better to have a wired internet connection for speed, but I have an Airport Card and Airport Express I can use.
I would like to have have the G5 wired, as this would be my main computer, and perhaps use the Airport Card and Express for the iMac.
I don't know if this is a good solution, or if there is an easier way to have both computers with internet access. I don't know how to use both the wired and wireless combo as my DSL box only has one Ethernet connection.
I'd rather not have to spend more money on a router, being I just purchased the Airport Card/Express. Speed and security is the most important issue, especially for the new G5. I won't be using the iMac that often, so speed is not a big issue for it.
Any thoughts, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind that I'm not a techie in anyway.. so any help in simple terms would be great

Glad to hear it is working for you.
The reason you may not be seeing any bandwidth difference may be due to what you are measuring. If you are measuring bandwidth of your DSL connection, that is how fast each computer can upload and download to the Internet, you shouldn't see any difference. This is because your internet connection speed is relatively slow (probably somewhere between 340 kbps and 3 mbps), compared to the available bandwidth of a wired Ethernet connection (can be 100 or 1000 Mbps) or wireless ( 54 mbps). With those kind of numbers, you should see no difference in testing bandwidth of your Internet connection from either computer.
Where you would see a difference is if you were measuring how fast your computers could transfer a file between each other. If they were connected by wired Ethernet, the larger available bandwidth of the connection would make file transfer much faster then the speed seen if they were connected via wireless.
Just a note. All the figures I used for Ethernet and Wireless are theoretical maximums, and currently no equipment will actually reach those speeds, but they are easier to use to illustrate a point then trying to adjust the numbers for overhead and performance issues.
