Which Wireless Card? Lenovo A26

Hi I am trying to buy a wireless card for my lenovo thinkcentre desktop MT-M 9120-A26 which product should I buy?

Quality USB WiFi adapter should be ok and is most handy. Like D-Link etc. You could also use PCIe WiFi card, but then it will be inbuilt in computer and depending on placement of PC can be good or not so good solution ...

Lenovo V560-43422GU laptop - which wireless card and is there HDMI output

Regarding Lenovo V560-43422GU laptop:
(1) Is there an HDMI output? Lenovo sales rep says YES, but Bestbuy.com specs say NO.
(2) Which wireless card is included? Lenovo gave me a list of possibilities, but said the card is actually specific to each dealer/store. Please tell me which one of the following cards will be in the laptop if I buy it from Bestbuy.com.
Intel 6250
Intel 5150
Intel 6200
Intel 1000
Broadcom 4313
AR 9285

Very good questions with no precise answers online.
I see you already posted on the Lenovo forums and they do not have an answer for you right away I love how the tech says he will contact you in a FEW days... and it is their product. I had a smiliar situation with them and it took 3 days lol.
Again, I see you did your searching well... not a lot of information seems available.I guess physically seeing the computer can verifiy this.
Looking at image #4 on the Best Buy site shows there is an HDMI port, but it is covered.... and that concerns me especially when the SPECS say it does not have an HDMI port. I really do not see why it would not have an HDMI port available, even the lower lines of Lenovo z565 and b560 have them available.... it is almost becoming a standard now days for HDMI.

I will be at a Best Buy on Thursday.
If you do not get a reply back by then I will be there and physically check the machine for the HDMI and interally for the Wi-Fi card that is in there...
But hopefully you get a more informational reply before then =)
I will check back in on Thursday.
Let me know if you have any questions before then.
Good Luck to you.

G580 models which wireless card in which model?

I understand price points mean less features/more features.
What I don't understand is the lack of details regarding which wireless card is in which model.
I do know entry level G580 is basic 1x1 N card.
Which cards are in which models please?
Jim

The recovery discs can not be downloaded from the web. Therefore you would need to go to ASP, so that they could order it for you.
I'm not sure, but I think the wifi module is under the keyboard, but don't ask me how you can get there. All I know is, that you will have to remove some screws from the bottom of your notebook in order to clips out the keyboard.
Anyway, there is software around that can identify devices in your machine, like Everest.
But are you sure you have Wlan equipped in your notebook? As far as I know a wifi module was not built in.

Which Wireless Card for Mac Pro 2.93ghz (4.1)

Hi,
I would like to add a wireless card to my Mac Pro 2.93ghz (4.1)(early 2009) but im a little unsure of which card is compatible, after searching on the net for info I have these model numbers - Airport Extreme MB988Z/A or MB988ZM/A.
Many thanks,
Antz

I have an Early '08 Mac Pro running an 8800GT in Slot 1 and a 2600XT in Slot 2.
I got my 2600 for $50 USD and have found it to work very quietly and without fuss. It's 3D performance is a little lacking but I didn't buy it for that.
It installed straight into Slot 2 and requires no additional power cable. I've also the above setup running four 23" Apple Cinema Displays without breaking a sweat.
As for your 7300 predicament, for all intensive purposes, this card does not have an the correct internal ROM required to boot an Early '08 Mac Pro. Whilst I've not tested it, I've no reason to doubt well-informed comments from other members:

Which Wireless card do I have in my Satellite A40

Hi all,
I got a Toshiba Satalite Pro A 40 (PSA45E) from a friend
As the Windows XP was quite slow I decided to reinstall the OS and have now a problem to install the Wireless card
At the moment I have Windows XP (without Service Pack, which must be the first version which was on sale I assume) but cant install the Wlan card
I tried several times to switch on/off the card with the FN key, but Windows cant find it. Also the device manager does not list any unknown device or Wireless card. Therefore I'm not sure which Card is now installed
I'm very sure that I saw some SSIDs with the old Windows before installed the new Windows
now I'm wondiring if I can download recovery CDs from the WEB or find any free Software which can read the hardware on a PC even if the drivers are missing, to see if the card is responding.
Furthermore I noticed that at the back of the Laptop there is only the MAC on the LAN card on a sticker. could it be that Tosiba didnt put a sticket with the WLAN MAC on the back?
Where would I be able to find a manual to physically locate the mini-pci card?
Thanks
Chris

IdeaPad S415 touch Windows 8.1 Update for Wireless Card Lenovo Part #20200437

I bought this wireless/bluetooth card for my Ideapad S415T and the only drivers for it were for Windows 7. One solution I found said to run the Win 7 drivers in compatibility mode. I wasn't satisfied with doing that so I hunted for the updated drivers for Win 8.1 and found them. I have provided the link at the bottom of this page.
(Make sure you are plugged into your router by an ethernet cable to access internet)
1. When you get to the page scroll down until you see the blue links click on either the link for Win 8.1 32 or 64 bit. If you are not sure which version of Windows you have, go to your desktop open Control Panel, click on System and Security, find System and click on it. Under the System heading on this page you will find if you are 32 or 64 bit. Keep this window open as you will need it in step 3.
2. Once you have downloaded the Zip file go to where it is in Downloads under This PC. Right click on the folder file, which has a zipper on it, highlight Extract All. This will undo the zip file into a separate file that is open. Leave it in the download folder.
3. Go back to your desktop. On the left hand side of the window you left open in step 1 look for Device Manager click on this. Give it a minute as it opens the list. If you just installed this piece of hardware it may show up under Other Network and will have a yellow triangle on it with an exclamation mark in it.
4. Right click on it and highlight Update Driver Software. This will open a new window click on Browse This Computer. If this is an exsisting piece of hardware it can be found under Network Adapters. Look for Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter follow the instructions as for Other Network
4. Once the new window opens up click on the Browse button. This will bring up a new message box. Highlight the Downloads folder. At the bottom of the new message window click Open. This will populate the Browse bar.
5. Make sure Include Subfolders is checked (it should be by default), click next and it should find the drivers. Follow the directions if any come up after that, and voila! Your wireless should work.

If you think I may have missed something in the steps just reply to this post either what I missed or that you are having trouble with it. Good luck

Can you be more specific with the below, as I can't make sense of what you're referring to? I don't know what element size is at all, or where to change it. And, I don't know what you mean by unchecking a checkbox in the device manager as there are no checkboxes. More guidance and specifics would be appreciated.
* Change the element size back to recover from blurry text
* Go to device manager and uncheck that checkbox for the first of the USB devices in HID so that the touchscreen does always react on the first touch (this setting has been lost during the update process)

Satellite P20-604 - How do I tell if it has a wireless card or not?

I have a P20-604, which I suspect was not pre-installed with a wireless card. Just to make certain my details are:
Model No: PSP20E-0Du43-G3
Serial No: 14735613G
If it doesn't have a wireless card, how can I determine which parts to buy so I can set up a wireless connection?
thank you.
Seem

Hello
As far as I know the wireless card is optional on this unit. This means that you have a possibility to upgrade the unit with the miniPCI wireless card. At the bottom of the unit you will find a slot for this card.
Please visit this site for checking which wireless card is compatible with your unit:

Which WiFi card for: PowerMac G5 Tower, 1.8 Ghz DP, running OS 10.5.8?

Sorry, I couldn't find an answer to this on the forum and the PDFs ref where the card WOULD fit didn't resemble the inside of the Mac I have
It's an ex-work machine that I'd like to make Wifi for a non-techie friend (already have DLink router for existing PC etc) Which wireless card do I need and which is better? I've been told about USB dongles, Airport Extreme and PCI antenna cards. All very confusing. Basically it needs to be reliable for the non-techie owner , so am not keen to get a cheapo card that will need lots of setting up. Plug 'n' play would be good.
I think the Mac is 2004 vintage and is definitely G5, 1.8 Ghz Dual Processor. Any help asap would be appreciated as I've got to get a card and install it all by the weekend.
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi Andrew, Not sure which card, but it may be easier or even cheaper with some of these alternatives...

Just got new T530 with wrong wireless card. Which model of Intel 6300?

Hey all, been surfing the google god for a few days but can't seem to find a secure answer that makes me happy. Just got a new T530 model 2359 laptop for my new job. Other then one stuck pixel that refuses to go away im pretty happy with it as I upgraded the CPU to the i5 3320 cpu model with the nvidia NVS 5400m GPU so it can power dual 24" monitors on my new Lenovo dock.
What sucks is that my manager got me the wrong wifi card, the standard thinkpad 1x1 b/g/n wireless card so I can't connect to 5ghz and or dual band routers like I have at my home which I really want for reliable and fast wireless cause I will be using it a lot around my work building as I do IT support for users so I wanna be able to use all the antenna's to help my range.
I took the laptop apart and I do see a third wire not connected to the thinkpad 1x1 mini card so should be able to use 3 antenna's on my T530? My big question is which 6300 card would the correct one for my T530? I know apparently there are "white label" cards from IBM that don't work in certain machines but considering I'm putting it into a IBM, I would think I would be ok?
Also, I do have an HD webcam buit in and I've heard that apparently some Thinkpad models you can't use three antenna and have the webcam working?
I'm curious if this white label centrino 6300 is the one I need

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 wireless card update

Hello!
I got a Lenovo IdeaPad U350, it should be model # 2963-47U (specs. here) with half-size mini-pcie wireless adapter with Broadcom BCM4312 chip which supports only .11bg. This card connects to antennas by two feedlines.
And I want to upgrade it with Intel 5100 which is .11agn and costs only about $6 on eBay. There is empty full-size slot for the card and even two unused feedlines that go right to the point. Sorry I have no photos right now.
So I have two questions:
Shold I detach old wireless card before install new one? Cause I know that if both of them plug to the same antennas they can burn each others receivers;
Is there some other convenient wireless cards with 2 uFL connectors with is cheaper, better or more reliable? I actually not need .11a (5GHz range) as much as just .11n support.
Thanks!
Solved!

Hi,
That 2nd slot is probably for a WWAN card. I don't think that a WLAN card will be recognized there.

Lenovo C200 All in One Wireless card issues

I have a brand new Lenovo C200 Atom DC 2 All In One PC (Desktop). I seem to have a problem with the wireless adaptor which is a Atheros AR9285. When I first power up the PC it connects to my router and gets internet speeds of around 5MB per sec, after a few minutes it spows down to around 120kb per sec! I called Lenovo support and after holding for 50 mins to get through I was told that I needed to contact my internet service provider who would be able to change the channel on the PC and improve things!
I have seven other PC's connected to my router and none of them have any problem. Also I cant transfer files from my central storage drive with the Lenovo because the connection times out because it is so slow. I am convinced it is a problem with the wireless card, there is nothing else that could possibly cause this that I can see. Also this is the 2nd Lenovo with the same fault, I sent the original one back and this is a replacement.
Technical support are supposed to be calling me back tomorrow but I dont hold out much hope with them after they told me to speak to my internet service provider.
Has anyone got any ideas what I could do to cure the issue?
Any help appreciated.

OK after many hours of searching I found the problem, the issue isn't exactly with the Lenovo although you would expect them to supply a wireless card that is compatible with Windows 7!
The issue is with the Atheros AR9285 wireless card, if you Google the Atheros card you will find numerous posts where people have had issues with this, there isn't any one straightforward fix, it seems dependent on what router you are using and how you have things set up.
I played around with my router settings and the settings on the Lenovo and finally found a configuration that worked for me, the Lenovo dosent like some channels on the router but does others, if anyone else gets this I would recommend changing the router setting from auto channel select to one channel between 1 and 11 to find one that works best. That seemed to fix
mine.
Thanks a bunch Lenovo support, call my internet service provider, yeh right! Also when you keep people waiting on hold for 50 mins before answering a simple "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting" would be nice not an argument with your CS rep saying "You haven't been on hold for that long".
Anyone with the most basic knowledge should know that if files can not be transferred from a central drive by the wireless card its nothing to do with the internet service provider!

How can I select which channel the wireless card on the Macbook Pro uses?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro which must be 5-6 years old running OS ver10.5.8 with the following wireless card details..
Wireless Card Type:          AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Locale:          Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version:          1.4.16.2
Current Wireless Network:          ML MC
Wireless Channel:          6
.. and a Time Capsule running firmware ver 7.6.1.
We recently installed a faster broadband connection and for some reason the pc’s (recent purchases) we have are regularly getting a 37Gb max download speed and the MacBook Pro is regularly getting only 19Gb max download speed. All the computers are connecting through the same Time Capsule to the net. On the Time Capsule the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidths are set so the channel is selected automatically.
Is the max download speed on the MacBook pro slower because of the wireless card in it? And if so, how can I check? Could I manually adjust it to a faster setting?
Thanks,
Simon

Channels are managed by the router and the automatic settings on your TC is about right - unless you have general WiFi issues.
Your slower speed is down to the older Airport card in your MBP.
