Lenovo W540 wireless card

Hello

I am currently in China and surpisingly I have no WiFi in my hotel, but it has Ethernet so I got that going for me. So I thought it would be possible to do a hotspot WiFi my laptop... but I couldn't click on the option of the thing from computer to computer to my Networkcenter. That's why I found that Lenovo W540 is not a wireless card? I really don't know if call you it.

So my questions are:

is there a wireless card? Can I activate it?

-is it possible to buy a 'Wireless'?, it is customizable on the W540?

I hope I have said enough to you.

Kind regards

Mikarz

  • Lenovo Z560 wireless card options

    Does anyone know what wireless card options are allowed by Lenovo for the Z560? Mine came with a Broadcom 43XX I believe and I find that lack of performance compared to my previous Intel.

    I believe that laptop manufacturers usually "lockout" in the bios be able to use all the wireless cards.

    Is it possible to know if Lenovo is not doing this and what wifi cards are compatiable?

  • W540 wireless card problem

    Hello guys,.

    My wireless adapter seems to be very little reliable these days here (perhaps months).

    Several times a day, I keep losing the connection to my home wireless network (wireless of my T420s on the same wireless network, but it is seamless to work for days). This kind of interruption happens when I take this W540 to my work, but I always thought that the wireless network at bad summer, not my W540... but I realized that the problem was my laptop after all...

    Too many times I see, when I fly over my taskbar, my mouse pointer goes circling and the Start button woudn't work, while I think that the network adapter tries to connect to the wifi. As soon as I shut off the current to the card, the laptop becomes normal, according to my observation so far.

    And tonight, finally I got a blue screen (BAD_POOL_CALLER was the big letter on the blue screen). Right now, I think to make a factory recovery disc and reinstall everything...

    But before I pull the plug, I thought I should ask around: what should I do to solve this problem before the last resort or warrty (always good) process.

    Of course, I've updated all the things Windows and also tried to upgrade the drivers through ThinkVantage tools... I've not won after finding that it did not help.

    Thank you

  • Unauthorized network card error in Lenovo W540 with 802.11ac mini Intel PCIe

    I recently purchased Intel 802.11ac mini PCIe card and tried to replace 802.11n card in my Lenovo W540. He released the famous problem with BIOS whitelist blocking:

    1802: unauthorized network card is plugged - power off and remove the network adapter (8086 / 08B 1 / 8086 / C070).

    The card itself is approved FCC (FCC ID: PD97260NG)

    I've updated the UEFI/BIOS in hopes that maybe he was too old to recognize the card - but no luck. Even with a 2.17 UEFI firmware there not yet accept the card. Can we do anything about it? Are UEFI future updates is going to fix it or Lenovo basically approves a list of supplier codes and ignores the rest?

    I tried to find all the cards sold directly through Lenovo, but can't find anything, that's why I had to buy one separately. But it rejects it. Can we do anything about it except find another card? And if not, what 802.11ac Intel adapters can be used?

    You can buy 'authorized' module AC of partner Service of Lenovo or IBM...

    FRU AC part number are:

    -04W3844 Intel Wilkins peak 2 7260 11ac + 2 * 2 BT4.0 m2 card

    -04 x 6007 Intel Wilkins peak 2 7260 11ac + 2 * 2 BT4.0 m2 card

    I have no idea what they are different...

    A Lenovo 7265 AC wireless card will work, (pass the white list), in a G50-80? I noticed that he was on a statement by the FCC

    You must use a wifi card dual channel. Referring to page 87 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual it is possible (highlighted in the attached photo). These three are in the Y410P only then they may not work for the Y510P (this can be a restriction imposed by Lenovo in the Bios - whitelist).

    To lift the restriction referred to white list of your bios should be changed. There are sites that offer to do it for you. However, note that you yourself if use you this unit in brick.

  • Lenovo W540 poor network performance

    My company recently bought a Lenovo W540 (Intel i7-4700MQ @ 2.4 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit) for me to use when I work remotely. I must say that this thing has been an albatross on the first day. While he usually makes evil, wifi is the worst I have ever known. The W540 can strike only a fraction of the speed of the network of my 4 year old Dell Latitude E6400 (1.1 Mbps compared to 2.7 Mbit/s on average). Connectivity is not very reliable and I always lose my VPN and VoIP connections.

    I updated all the drivers available from Lenovo and Intel but also removed most of the pre-installed Lenovo bloatware. Before doing so I could only gerer.6 Mbps on a good day - using my 3 G phone captive was faster and more reliable.

    I contacted the support twice for assistance. Their best offer was to drive me an hour for the service center for support.

    I am at my wit's end and would appreciate any help you can offer before I send this back to the Lenovo with a pot of vasaline.

    To me, it seems that people who possess the W540 with card Intel 7260 have good arguments for a class action suit. My company bought 4 of these laptops. Lenovo has offered no solution or compensation to continue to ship a horrible piece of technology. I don't think we will buy whatever it is out here on Lenovo.

  • G575 Wireless Card, the function of a recovery key is inactive!

    Hello

    I got a Lenovo g575 for four months now. Two months ago, I decided to disable my card wireless off using soft key combination (Fn + F5) Lenovo because it was not in use and wasted my battery life. A few weeks, I went to a hotspot and could not do the same thing to work; The previous Lenovo doesn't pop up and functions built-in to Windows 7 interface do not seem to activate the card. I reinstalled the drivers countless times and it does not seem to solve the problem. Under a direct start of Linux (Linux Mint 10), the wireless card is supposed to be "disabled by a hardware function. Around the same time, my soft key OneKey recovery became functional and useless.

    Can someone bail out PLEASEE!

    You made no doubt already, but have you tried to uninstall/reinstall the Lenovo energy management software? It's giving you this window Fn + F5, not pilots.

    I'm dealing with a different issue, involving bluetooth, but I know of tweak that Lenovo Energy Management is a key element to get this stuff to market.

  • Raplecement wireless card

    Hi, guys and Gil.

    I have a question about replacing the card wireless for my HP ProBook 450 (F7Y25ES). now, this laptop is "equipped with" MediaTek/Ralink MT7630E combo and he abandoned wireless connection every 5-10 minutes. I want to raplace that piece of crap with intel centrino card.

    Here I found the information that I can use Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 670292-001 http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-ProBook-450-G0-wireless-adapter-spare-brands/td-p/...

    I found only here http://www.partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=F7Y25ES of card atheros

    So guys help me to know about the compatibility of this card with my laptop?

    Thank you.

    The eBay seller it says here, if you are not too picky about grammar:

    Compatible with:

    • Fit all brand, not incl. HP/Lenovo laptops

    Need a covered card "HP". This card will work and you will have wifi and bluetooth, dual band, 2.4 ghz and 5.0 ghz.

    It's a bit expensive but a very strong card.

    The manual says supports the N-6235 advanced, he gives no room for a compatible part number.

    It is not listed in the manual of 450 Probook, but I bet it will work since it's a HP card (and quite a bit cheaper than the 7260):

    I know the image seems as well as that you have linked above, but I would be sure that the tying in your post is for the version not HP.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA: upgrade the Compaq CQ61 wireless card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA, running 64-bit Windows 7 application. The current wireless card only works on the 2.4 Ghz band and I want to upgrade to a dual band to get the best speed etc. to 5 GHz. I have an Intel Centrino N6230 of replacement card, but the phone will not accept anything other than the default map. At the start, it stops with an error message saying that it will not continue unless the "unauthorized device" is deleted. If I re - install the original wireless card, it starts and works very well, but this is not the point, I would like to update.

    I guess that the default is to lock the part of the BIOS of the laptop to prevent alteration unauthorized with laptop computers under warranty, but mine is well outside the guarantee.

    I know that the card works because I installed it in my laptop previous and I have been in electronics for 30 years and spent about 5 years of this repair of computers laptops, desktops, servers, etc so I'm sure that I am able to connect a card and the driver installation!

    There does anyone know a way around the block? I won't to be able to upgrade the laptop without it.

    Anyone?

    Do not completely blame HP, but it was little 1984 involving your federal Government. HP and Lenovo read a few Federal Communications Comm regs on the recording of radio portable wireless (including the computer wifi cards) to require that alternative cards are blocked. Other laptop makers has not agreed and now the 'white list' is history, but there is no effort to go back and make new BIOS for older models.

    HP wireless card versions have specific identification in the firmware looking for the HP whitelist before clearing the map to use if you use the version of HP. I looked pretty hard for a version of HP of the card and the one I linked is everything I could find. Google around and you can do better.

  • Wireless card pre-installed

    Hello

    I am disappointed by the wireless card that I had installed with my Lenovo R500. I like the computer itself, but really want another wireless card. I have a few questions:

    1. Can I have a new wireless card installed by a certified company Lenovo?
    2. I can install my card wireless on the laptop? If so, how will I know if it is compatible with my computer?

    Thanks for your time, I'm really looking for general support to find out how to replace your card wireless pre-installed, if you are not satisfied with it and that you want to upgrade.

    Thanks for the help!

    -James

    HMM, that's what you're looking for. It will show you the proper procedure to replace the wireless card. Click here.

    After you download it. Open it.

    Expand "R500 (15.4 inches wide screen).

    Expand "to remove and replace a FRU.

    Click on "1070 PCI Express Mini for LAN wireless"

    However, it is labeled as a FRU [replaceable unit plant] not a CRU [Crus by]. Your warranty will be void if you replace yourself.

  • X 220 do not recognize the wireless card?

    Hi all

    First post here, Hello to all!

    I just got a X 220 with SSD 160 GB, made from the site of decision-making of the United Kingdom but has been described as new.

    He beautifully lit and W7 64 bit Pro came with a few setings to fix, but for some reason, it won't find a wireless card.

    He finds bluetooth, Device Manager and the Manager of Lenovo's own network tools all find the bluetooth and ethernet, but not wi - fi.  The switch works physical (i.e. the machine recognizes when it is on and off) and bluetooth turns off with the switch.  There is a light small icon bluetooth and wi - fi, bluetooth lightdsup OK but wi - fi has never turned on.

    The list of standard generation shows 2 flavors of wi - fi, but I do know that if it's just a bad driver - probably the device management under W7 could observe the card, even if it has been incorrectly installed or disabled?

    Any thoughts on how to fix?

    No card installed!

    Some variants of decision-making have apparently funny configs if they are built for subsequently cancelled orders. The technician with a card and all is well.

  • Edge 15 0319 - 26u wireless card doesn't work!

    I reinstalled Windows 7 Professional and that you have installed more updates.  Unable to get up and running wireless card.  I installed several drivers for the card from the website of lenovo, but without success!  My laptop is useless for me wireless!

    Thanks for the reply but I found the solution.  I did some research and found that if I installed this driver http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014964, which does not appear on my downloads page machines, the wireless lan device works correctly.  I don't know if it's the right driver, but it is the only driver I have my wireless nic to work.  Thanks for the help!  Cheers!
