Lenovo wireless problem


Recommended Posts

So I've been having problems with my wireless for a month now. The wireless card decides to turn itself off at random times, usually once every two days or so, and when I try to turn it back on, it does nothing. So I try the thinkvantage wireless thing and it says its still on when its obviously off. I tried uninstalling the Thinkvantage wireless manager, fooled around with the power settings of the wireless card and logging in and out, but the only thing that works is restarting the computer. Any recommendations thats not reformatting the comp, buy a mac or get linux?

;D

buy a mac ;D

in all seriousness though, how long does it work after you restart it until it goes buggy again?

try going without the thinkvantage wireless manager for awhile, the built-in windows network manager should work fine. do you have any other wireless devices. are they getting disconnected (or shutting off) at similar times? it's also possible that the wireless card in the laptop is going bad.
