Window IE 7 and Wifi

I am running windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with bootcamp. However, I think I need to be able to run IE in order to download the Microsoft Office that I purchased on-line. I can't get IE to reconized my wifi network. I had no problems with Safari and reconizing the wifi network but IE says there are no availible netowrks? Any suggestions? Thanks a ton!

Did you follow the exact directions laid out by Apple and installed the BootCamp drivers for your Mac hardware?
Certain hardware features like Wifi etc., don't work unless you install these hardware drivers to cross the bridge between Windows and your Mac's specific hardware.
Review the BootCamp install instructions.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Windows 8 and wifi Networks

I've just received a replacement Dell Windows 8.1 tablet.
I had the original for two weeks and it was connected to my "home" wifi network.
My replacement tablet, once I'd set it up using my "Outlook" account, some how, automatically connected to my "home" wifi network.
I did not use the WPS button on the router, have never used it.
It did not ask for the security key. How is that possible ?

Windows is now storing WiFi passwords and roams them with your Microsoft Account.
You can disable or enable these settings by using the Sync your settings panel.

Windows 8 Clean Install drivers question for USB, CD, and Wifi

Hello,
I did a clean install using bootcamp for Windows 8. The problem I am experiencing is that I cannot download the needed drivers through bootcamp due to a slow connection. (I am in Afghanistan for work). Does anyone know where I can get the drivers so my USB ports, Cd-ROM drive, and Wifi will work from an external website where I can use a download manager? I have a 15' Macbook Pro-Mid-2012.
Thank you,

Please help me guys. Thank you so much.

Hi,
About this issue, we could troubleshoot as the following methods on the Windows 8.1 client side.
1. Maker sure the "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password" setting on the client is disabled and on your client and type in the correct domain name when prompted.
2. If the issuer persists, delete this network profile in your Windows 8.1 client with commands and manually configure it as

Windows Phone sync and transfer options

This post explains the options available for synchronizing and transferring contacts, calendar and tasks from your Windows PC to a Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone.
How Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are synchronized between a Windows PC and a Lumia family phone depends on which software is used on the PC
If a S40, S60 or Symbian Nokia phone was used before contacts, calendar and tasks can be synchronized between this phone and your PC using Nokia Suite with the following:
Microsoft Windows 7 contacts
Microsoft Windows Vista calendar and contacts
Microsoft Outlook 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010
Microsoft Outlook Express
Mozilla Thunderbird
Nokia Suite (v3.6.x and later) allows for an easy transfer of contacts, calendar and photos to your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone via SkyDrive.
Here's how this feature works;
Connect your Nokia S40, S60 or Nokia Belle phone to your PC using the USB cable.
After Nokia Suite is started and your phone shows as connected select Tools>Upload to SkyDrive and follow the on screen instructions. If you do not have one yet you will have to create a Microsoft account which has a SkyDrive attached to it. You can create such account here.
You will now have to reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. Doing so will erase all content from the phone and return it to it's 'out of the box' state. Make sure you have synced any media files to your PC (Zune for WP7.x devices / copy them through explorer on WP8.x devices) or Mac(Connector). You can sync these back after the reset. When finished reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone using Settings>about>reset your phone.
Go through the Device First Use sequence and when asked enter your Microsoft Account used to save the content from Nokia Suite. When the setup has finished your will find your contacts, calendar and photos have all transferred to your Lumia. These will also be available through your Microsoft account through the web interface. The list of installed (paid) apps is also restored and the phone will start downloading these once the restore is complete. You can switch to WiFi for this if you have access.
It is important to note this transfer will only work to the Nokia Lumia at the Device First Use sequence (after a reset). If you have your Lumia setup it will not look for or sync the information copied to SkyDrive through Nokia Suite.
SMS message can not be transferred directly, but you can export all messages in Nokia Suite (Messaging>File/Export all text messages) and open the resulting Comma Separated File (.csv) in Excel or OpenOffice Calc to create an Excel sheet (.xls file) this can then be copied to your SkyDrive and opened from the Office app. You could also use a tool to create separate files from the exported .CSV file and copy all of these to SkyDrive.
If a Microsoft Exchange server is used an Outlook account is created on the Lumia. This is done through 'Settings > email + accounts >add an account > Outlook'. The following settings are required. Usually these can be obtained from the system administrator for the Exchange server:
Mail address
User name (usually the same as the login name for the business PC)
Password (usually the same as the password for the business PC)
The Microsoft Exchange server Domain
The address for the Microsoft Exchange server
If Microsoft Outlook is used for private mail account(s) the Outlook Hotmail Connector needs to be installed to synchronize with the primary Microsoft Account and with the Lumia.
The mail account needs to be set up as a separate mail account through:
'Settings > email + accounts >add an account > other account'
More information on setting up a mail account can be found here.
A useful tool for setting up the Outlook Hotmail Connector can be found here.
Additional Microsoft support pages for contacts and calendar.
If Windows Mail, a part of Windows Essentials, is used contacts, calendar and tasks are synchronized directly with the Lumia as long as you log in to Windows Mail using the same primary Microsoft Account as the one which is used on the Lumia. Contacts and/or calendar can be imported in to Windows Mail as follows:
Microsoft Windows 7 contacts, Microsoft Windows Vista contacts (and calendar)
Open Windows live mail
Go to contacts
Click on import
Import from current Windows user
Mozilla Thunderbird
Use the Hotmail extension for Thunderbird
Export contacts and import into Windows Mail

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.

Tried disable-enable.
tried re install.
tried updating driver.
nothing seems to work.
any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
According to your description, I suggest you try the following method to check the results.
1:Boot into Safe Mode with networking.
2:Disable Windows 8.1 fast startup feature, and turn off and turn on the computer to check the issue:
Please refer to this article: Disable Windows 8 fast startup (hibernate file)
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3152/~/disable-windows-8-fast-startup-(hibernate-file)
For all I know, the steps in this link also apply to Windows 8.1.

Satellite L750-A218 - Windows 8 problems and solutions

Hi,
this is my first post.
I upgraded my Toshiba l750-a218 laptop to windows 8 and i have been facing some problems (hiccuos).
i waited for the upgraded drivers and they were released on 21,22,23 this month and they had no solutions so this is what i noticed on windows 8
1. The function keys flash cards are gone. i tried every TVAP available for windows 8 and flash card support utility for other laptops but its not working. the falsh cards dont appear on the screen but all the keys work, except i can;t turn bluetooth and wifi on/off separetely.
2. bluetooth drivers: i couldn't find driver for this laptop so i used atheros bleutooth filter of another B series toshiba laptop which comes with windows 8 and bluetooth driver. now its working.

Here you should perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8
In Windows 8, when shutting down a computer, actually a hybrid shutdown is performed by default.

Windows 8.1 and skype

Dear friends,
Im new to skype community , so im sorry if im mistakenly put this post in a wrong place,
Im using skype for very long time. And i bought a new laptop last year with windows 8 and i used windows desktop skype since then. Modern skype (the one we can download from windows apps store) didnt work well for me. I dont know it was slow and really slow to respond. So i used windows desktop skype for windows 8. I had no problem with it
But after that i have updated my windows 8 to windows 8.1 and now both skype types are not working (desktop and modern skype ).
The desktop skype always says you have "internet connection problem" which i dont have. There is no any internet problem with me. Im saying this coz my mobile phone skype is working well in same wifi network (home wifi network). At the same time i can watch Youtube videos in my laptop. So laptop also dont have any internet connection problem .
So i dont really find what is wrong with my skype. here is my skype calling procedure
I m rining my friend
then he answer the video call
then after 30 s or one minute time it says internet connection problem ,
it automatically rining back or something like that happen.
then i disconnect the line and get the call back again.
and same thing happen over and over again
Please help meeeeeeeee

Hi
After the Windows 8.1 upgrade you should update and reinstall the Toshiba driver and tools which were released for Windows 8.1.
Did you do that?
If not, update the software to Windows 8.1 compliant version.
Also Skype reinstallation would be very good idea.
Uninstall the pervious installed version, reboot the notebook, install skype again and check the skype configuration!

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find it. It says that home sharing is not on, but it is. This was working perfect beofre the upgrade.

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find the computer, it says "turn on the home sharing". Both of these are on, iTunes and Apple TV, what to do? It was working perfect before update.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure the firewall and wifi router is not blocking it you can likely see if its the wifi router by connecting by etherent cable that would mean itsopen in terms of ports

I get error message 1935 every time I try to install Lightroom 5, on Windows 7 64bit, AV & Wifi off.

Installation of Lightroom 5 aborts and reverses itself after nearing completion, citing error 1935. Turning off antivirus and WiFi made no difference. Using 64bit Windows 7 as OS. Had an early version of Lightroom installed at one time but I don't see it in the list to uninstall so I assume it is no longer there and not interfering.
Photoshop Lightroom 5.2 64-bit Installer Information:
Error 1935. An error occured during the installation of assembly component {5C21D397-1DA5-3749-8C1F-165F21DE9E3E}. HRESULT: 0x800736B3.

T440s in Windows 7 Pro loses Wifi connection after sleep 7260AC

Hi guys,
I keep having issues waking up from sleep with my T440s. It WILL NOT connect to wifi and the wireless adapter under windows adapter settings disappears. Only thing that fixes this is a reboot. I have removed "allow windows to turn this device off" under wireless settings.
Driver: 17.12.0.4
Dated: 28/08/2014
Software: Lenovo Access Connections
I do not use windows to connect to WIFI. I have dedicated profiles for each of my wifi networks at home and work.
This is a serious productivity killer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a well-known issue with the AC card. Go take a look at the Intel forum.
You don't necessarily have to reboot to get the card back. Right click it in Device Manager and then disable/enable. It will come back online.
Some tips that have worked for many:
-DO enable the power saving setting. If I disable it on my T440p, the card is offline upon wakeup.
-Ditch ProSet and let Windows manage your wifi. Profiles might be convenient, but...
-Ad Hoc QoS - WMM enabled. Enable it on your router(s), too.
-Ht Mode - VHT
-U-APSD support - this one can go either way. Some leave it on and don't have an issue. Some have to disable it to have the card work after sleep. You have to play with it.
And, I really believe that the router/modem type can make a difference, too. Some just don't work right with this card no matter what you tweak on the card. With this card, I think an AC router/modem is the way to go.
Another thing is the driver itself. I had wake issues when I first got this ThinkPad about 10 months ago. Then, Intel released v 16.6 and that one fixed it. I've tried all of the 17s released since and all of them caused sporadic failures to wake. So, I have always rolled back to 16.6 and it always wakes.
Note this: If you use Lenovo Update, it won't create a restore point in Windows so your "Roll Back Driver" button might be greyed out in DM. Always manually create a restore point before you update a driver. And, if it's working, whatever it is, leave it alone. If the release notes don't address an issue you're having, skip it.
Driver updating is way oversold here and elsewhere. If you're determined to update anyway, at least don't be an early adopter. Let other peeps do it first and then come back here and see about the complaints! Also, you can download the driver at Intel in their Administrators sets of drivers. Bare drivers and no software overhead.
Good luck.
