X61 3G Wireless WAN Configuration

Deal All,
Does anybody knows how to configure the 3G Wireless WAN Setting?
I understand that there is a Sim Card Slot behind the laptop, but don't know how to configure it.
Anybody can help?
Thanks..

Yes you need a WWAN card too, preferably one on the X61 BIOS 'whitelist', and the antenna.
If you configured your X61 with the WWAN card, then there is already a SIM card ready to be activated, and the provider's connection manager (AT&T in the USA) will have been installed for you in the factory. There is normally an activation nag which appears every couple of restarts.
The SIM card is under the same cover as the memory cards.
If you did not factory configure the WWAN, you can add it later, but it is a pain. Not only do you need a WWAN card, but you need to install the antenna around the screen. It's possible, but not easy. If you use a WWAN card which is not on the BIOS whitelist, you need a hacked BIOS.
I totally recommend getting the WWAN setup configured when you buy an X61, even if you only think you MIGHT need it in the future. It is not that easy to add later.

  • X301 and Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

    Ok, I (Lenovo) did it again.
    System Update showed me this update: "Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)".
    As I'm using Vodafone and I had a AT&T driver, I decided to update.
    The result is, that now the GPS doesn't work.
    Yes, I'm in a place where the GPS signal is present (my house, with the previous driver I was able to get 6/7 satellites).
    What happens? Lenovo TV GPS stays there trying to fix the satellites, but nothing happens. I can't recover the system to a previous state, as I updated Flash player too, and Windows only show me the possibility to roll back this update.
    So, apart advicing everyone not to update, I kindky ask:
    - where can I found the previous driver? I searched the web without success...
    - why does Lenovo deploy driver which can cause problems (I just had one updating the BT driver last week! .msi installer problem, error 1935...)?
    Thanks to everyone

    Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
    I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
    Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
    Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
    Don't know where the difference is...

  • T410-CTO - Wireless and Wireless WAN disappear from Fn+F5

    Hi guys,
    I normally use my laptop on home wireless network (WIFI).
    Sometimes, I connect to the Ethernet (cable) to update some programs.
    However, every times I switch from WIFI to Cable and back, the Wireless and Wireless WAN otpions disappears from the Connection Manager (Fn+F5). The only way to get it back is to shutdown and turn the laptop back on.
    Any idea?

    I solved my problem by uninstall and reinstall WLAN driver and AC (maybe other related drivers, don't quite remember). The sequence of uninstall/install is important, I think you need to uninstall AC first, and install it last.

  • Linksys Wireless Network monitor overrides Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration

    Hello all,
    I am currently using the wireless router Verizon sent me and it works fine when using the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration tool. Previously I was using a Linksys wireless router and I have the Linksys Wireless Network monitor installed. About half the time when starting up the computer, the Linksys monitor starts up and I have to manually switch to the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration tool. This is very irritating and I would like to know if there is a way I can remove the Linksys Monitor and still be able to use the Linksys wireless adapter cards installed in the computer.

    I think I know.
    #1 http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_xp.html
    #2 Very carefully, look through the list in MSConfig.
    #3 Disable the Linksys Wireless Network monitor.
    Restart the computer as need be.

  • NB100 Wireless WAN System-LED

    If I press Fn+Wireless WAN Key, t he WAN SYSTEM LED is not visible. Is this quite usual? The
    bluetooth sign shines red. Is it necessary that the WAN Key shines green if I will conect to my w-lan router?

    Hi. New to the forum. Brought an NB 100 one week ago (Windows XP) .
    Have had no problem for one week connecting wireless. I still have the orange light and wireless is showing as activated however it will not connect. All other computers connecting as usual. Any ideas? Nothing has changed.
    Should I just take it back to the shop and get another one as I brought it specifically for travelling and working away?
    Thanks.

  • X201 Wireless WAN Status indicator is always on (this laptop has no 3G option)

    Recently received my new laptop, X201, Win 7 Pro 32bits. Since I boot it up for the first time, I noticed this curious status LED with the antenna shape which was turned on constantly. Today poking at the technical manual I see it is the "Wireless WAN Status Indicator".
    I bought this machine with no wireless WAN / 3G option. Also, Wireless WAN does not show up as an option when pressing Fn-F5. Definitely this machine has no Wireless WAN.
    So why is this indicator lighted up all the time? burning battery... Anybody else seeing the same? Anyway I can turn this LED off for good?
    Tips welcome. Thanks

    Bump
    looks like nobody has noticed this issue? wondering if anyone with an X201 *without* wireless-WAN could confirm what they see...

  • Wireless WAN Back Haul in Remote Outdoor Area

    Have to setup a wireless WAN in VERY remote area for Video Surveillance in outdoor Park back to security center. I have access to current or will use Solar. 9 key Points (so far )to connect in large valley. Want suggestions on using CISCO 1400 Bridge to bring data back to central point(or suggest best equipment for this). Will it also work from point A to B to C to get data back as may need to go over a hill as well for atleast one point? No distances longer than 2 miles.

    Can anyone try to advise me on Best Equipment for this Network...possibly Mesh systems may be better?

  • Router to support Wireless WAN Link

    Greetings,
    Here is what I would like to do.
    -On a mobile platform (RV), I want to be able to park within range of a wifi hotspot and to connect a router to the hotspot and to route traffic from my internal network over the wifi 'wan'. So, rather than connecting clients via wifi, I want to be able to connect the router wirelessly to supply the clients with a route to the internet.
    Is this 'bridging'?
    What router(s) will support this?
    TIA
    Charlie

    While i can not think of a true router per se for this, you could go another route.
    Take a PC (could even be as low as a P II) with a wireless card int it, put in at least one Nic (or more depending on how your internal network is set up), install Linux on it, and do the routing from the linux ip tables.
    A real easy way to do this, would just put smoothwall on the PC (Linux based firewall), and you could use that to configure the IP tables, plus add security for your network!
    Hope this helps

    Your help would be greatly appreciated as though I have used Ubuntu and Fedora for years everything worked out of the box so this is new to me. He he breakage I love Arch , learning so much.

    Umm k looking into this and fixing this now. Went by the wiki page for the dell xps 1530 and it stated I needed the 65 driver, just figured out I have the 45 card so need the 45 driver. Will update later when I get it fixed.
    K changed the driver and now can get wlan0 up ,, have to check out if everthing works now.

  • Best wireless network configuration with my hardware

    I have a rather large property and over the last year or so I have acquired the following hardware. Up until now I have been extending my network wirelessly to get through coverage. However with the recent addition of a Time Capsule and the addition of AT&T U-Verse, I decided it was time optimize my network configuration
    The Hardware:
    • 1 AT&T Residential Gateway (With WiFi)
    • 1 Airport time Capsule
    • 2 Airport Extreme 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet)
    • 1 Airport Extreme 802.11n (Fast Ethernet)
    • 1 Airport Express 802.11n (used mostly for printers)
    The Computers:
    • Mac Pro 8 core 2.8Ghz
    • Mac Mini Core Duo 1.83Ghz
    • Macbook Air Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz
    • Lenovo T60p (with 802.11n)
    • Ipod Touch
    The slowest system is the Mac Mini with it's 802.11g however it is close enough to the TC / Residential gateway to wire into the network. All the other systems need to take advantage of the Wifi and have the ability to use the 802.11n speed. I'm not too worried about the ipod touch...
    So I know I am reaching a point of diminished returns by constantly extending my wireless connection. Now, would it be beneficial to set the TC as kind of my main Wif access point and use eithernet to connect my Airport Extremes to extend my network?
    I have the built in 802.11g of my AT&T RG disabled right now. I could create a 2nd network to allow the connection of my mini and iPog touch. but for the most part i would prefer to leave it disabled.
    One thing to take into consideration. Due to the nature of AT&T U-Verse and the connection from the AT&T RG and the TC/AP Extreme bust be in bridge mode giving DHCP control to the AT&T RG.
    Whew. Any thoughts?
    Message was edited by: Vermifuge

    Ethernet as many routers as possible. Place secondary routers in bridge mode. Separate the N devices to a router (TC) from N+B/G devices should go to the secondary routers. Once done set wireless to create their own network. All N computers to N router ie TC and the remainder to which ever secondary router you prefer.

  • Wireless direct configuration source manual

    I have a Photosmart 5520 printer and we changed router and Ithe P address schem.  On the first page of the Network configuration page the IP address is correct at10.0.1.10 (DHCP).  On the second page under "Wireless Direct" the IP address is 192.168.223.1 and the configuration source is set to Manual.  How do I change the IP address for the Wireless Direct IP address so iPrint works again?

    The network configuration report can be confusing as it lists information for two different networks in the printer. 
    The first network is the one that connects to your home network.  On your report it is connected with an IP address of 10.0.1.10.  I would expect most of your home devices to print over your home network to that IP address.
    The second network is the HP Direct Print network.  It allows devices to directly connect to the printer to print.  It's IP address shows as 192.168.223.1  If you connect a device directly to the printer it will see the printer at that IP address.
    Most of your comuting devices will connect to your home network and print through it.  There should be no reason to change the HP Direct Print IP address.  I'm not sure it can be changed. 
    Now to resolve the printing problem.  iPrint might need to rediscover the printer.  You may need to treat the printer as a new device and delete the old connection.  Hopefully this will solve the issue.
    If not - I'm guessing that there is a routing issue with the new router.  The best way to resolve that would be to power off all the computing devices, power cycle the new router, turn on the printer and wait for the blue wireless light to turn on and stay lit, then power up all the other wireless devices.
    The idea is to let each device relearn the network as it comes up.  If there is still a problem after doing this there might be a configuration issue on the router that is not letting the network devices see the printer.
    If neither of the above help there might be an problem with the configuration of the new router.  It's configuration  might not allow the wireless devices to see the printer.  Let us know and we will work through that.  To troubleshoot a router configuration we will need the brand and model of the router.
    Good Luck!

    When logging in, log in to command line, su to root, then run /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig and answer the questions about your hardware.This will make an xorg.conf file and save it to /etc/X11.Try using a mouse setting of auto, I had to do this as IMPS/2 just sent my mouse haywire.
