Upgrade your wireless Y510p to Wifi AC adapter

I got my Y510p about two weeks as planned and there is Wifi is crap. I was wondering if I could update my card wireless in Intel AC 7260. Wifi AC work correctly, the fact that it has dual band 2, 4 and 5. If it's possible, but I need to delete the whitelist from the BIOS, please let me know where to find the tutorial on how to remove it.

Thank you.

I am currently using a Wireless-AC 7260 and have no complaints so far. It is perfectly stable, impressive range, and not too from currently released pilots, it's perfect. The version of Wireless-N is assumed to be equal but do not have the strips without wire - AC.

In addition, it voids the warranty if you say that Lenovo you modded your BIOS.

  • Microsoft virtual WiFI miniport adapter has adriver problem

    does anyone know how to fix Microsoft virtual WiFI miniport adapter has adriver problem

    Hello

    Control Panel - Device Manager:

    You can double-click it - tab drivers - DISABLE (that is if you do not use this feature).

    You may not have that unless you try to connect to other WiFi devices via your computer and
    many WiFi devices and their drivers do not correctly support the virtual pilot.

    Check with the manufacturer of system and/or support updated real manufacturer Sites and WiFi device drivers.
    (Which is also updating the driver virtual.) If no new drivers WiFi are available then re - install the present
    one.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network card (NIC) and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as
    Windows 7 like the updated drivers.

    ==================================================================

    More information on what WiFi devices a virtual: (as noted above, if the device or the driver is not
    support the virtual device or is not required then it can be disabled).

    The WiFi device and the driver is installed must support a Virtual WiFi configuration. Check with the system
    Manufacturer support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums (if any) known
    questions. If the wireless device is supported for OEM sound drivers, visit their site for updated drivers and
    known issues (Intel, Realtek, LinkSys and others).

  • Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter missing

    L.S.

    I would like to create a hotspot on my Windows computer. Windows supports this and he needs the Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport card for this. The question is this:

    I don't see Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter in my device management.

    I tried the things:

    (1) checking the section "hidden devices" in device management. He isn't here.

    (2) update the my wireless (Netgear A6210) network card drivers to the latest version.

    (3) update the drivers of my network card wireless (Netgear A6210) to the first version available.

    (4) reinstall the drivers of steps 2 and 3.

    (4) the execution of a number of commands that search on Google, I found:

    "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow."

    "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" (which made me an error - sorry for the Dutch: Het gehoste kan niet worden gestart netwerk.)
    Of bron has right status aangevraagde bewerking ITU om niet groep you voeren.)

    "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = NameOfNetwork key = StrongPassword".

    "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = NameOfNetwork key = StrongPassword".

    (5) install the drivers of VirtualWifi, which landed me an error:

    C:\microsoftmeshwifivirtual\VirtualWiFi\binaries>VirtualWiFi.exe install

    VirtualWiFi driver installation...
    Cannot complete the action.
    Error 800f0203
    Problem-2146500093 VirtualWiFi driver installation.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am solutions now and I need help for other steps I could take.

    Thanks in advance!

    Wifi miniport exists only after you have successfully put in place a network hosted - it is a virtual device.

    If you can, it would be interesting to restore an image system before all your attempts - just to make sure there is no debris around to stop you from your repeated procedure.

    The following documents have been cut & pasted directly from the windows command prompt, I used successfully implemented and use this utility [in Windows 7 and Windows 10].  I mention this because when I wanted to find out more about the fact that I discovered a lot of rubbish, written by people who had either never tried & have been incorrectly copy of notes from someone else or they were just of their inaccurate memories.

    1 you must first verify that your WiFi card is capable of this job.  Enter elevated command window

    netsh wlan show pilot

    and check that the entry

    Hosted network supported: Yes

    appears in the results.

    2 WiFi must be enabled until you issue the following command [it didn't need to be connected to anything]

    netsh wlan start hostednetwork

    and then you should get the answer

    The hosted network began.

    [If you do not have WiFi you this answer - the hosted network could not be started.]  [A device attached to the system is not functioning.]

    3 Once you are happy that you have found the right answer, then stop the network

    netsh wlan hostednetwork stop

    4 then start it for real with a SSID & password

    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = TestNet key = password

    and you get the answer

    The hosted network mode has been defined to allow.
    The SSID of the network hosted has been changed successfully.
    The user key hosted network password has been changed successfully.

    5 you can restart [you will have to do at each reboot of the system - there is no need to keep entering the SSID and password the system will just continue to use those you put in during step 4 above].

    netsh wlan start hostednetwork

    6 you can also get some info on how it works with

    netsh wlan show hostednetwork

    I just checked these settings to see what security was that I couldn't connect to my WinXP [but not connected as well a computer Win10 & hotspot a phone]

    7 these are the guides who helped me with my experience in the implementation of Windows 7 to a hosted network.  They go beyond my notes do, they understand the configuration of ICS.

  • Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter

    I have 2 toshiba NB305 netbooks. 1 has the Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport adapter listed #2 in the device under network adapters Manager. I don't know why but it minimizes my wifi range as other otherwise works fine. How uninstall it permanently, I did a right click on it and select uninstall - press ok when it asks me if I'm sure that - he disappeared, but when I restart it back.

    Hi KrystalOMGURAT,

    Please see the following information about uninstalling Virtual WiFi, from the following link:

    http://research.Microsoft.com/en-us/UM/Redmond/projects/VirtualWiFi/software_faq.htm#uninstallfaq

    VirtualWiFi uninstall

    Q: why I can't uninstall VirtualWiFi? The uninstall command seems to hang.
    A: This happens if the VirtualWiFi service is not running. To start the service, either run "net start VirtualWiFiService", OR "VirtualWiFiSvc.exe - start'." " VirtualWiFi Service is not installed, could you install using 'VirtualWiFiSvc.exe - install'. "

    Q: is there a manual way to uninstall VirtualWiFi?
    A: Yes. Click Start-> Control Panel->-> wireless connection, network connections, right click and and go to properties. Click the VirtualWiFi Miniport driver and click on uninstall. Note that the VirtualWiFi Service must be run at this time. Once the driver is uninstalled, you must remove the service by running ""net stop VirtualWiFiService '', followed of "VirtualWiFiSvc.exe - remove". "

    Q: I can't uninstall VirtualWiFi. Nothing seems to work. Is there a brute force method?
    A: Yes. Go to the Windows registry by using start-> Run-> 'regedit '. Note that modify you the registry at your own risk. It is always best to save a copy of the registry before you edit. The registry, search for all entries having VirtualWiFi, and delete them. This is best done in safe mode. Also run 'VirtualWiFiSvc.exe - remove' to remove the service. We have provided an easier way to remove these registry entries. Follow these steps: (i) the term "VirtualWiFi uninstall" (ii) reboot your machine (iii) Run "RegDelete. Note that you need to remove a single entry manually, who is invited by RegDelete. (iv) reset, and you're all set! However, please use RegDelete carefully. Carefully check the entries which RegDelete invites! It should not belong to another program and correspond to the README.txt file in the directory of RegEdit under Sources.

    I hope this helps!

  • Cannot share Internet on Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

    Hello;

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I used to share Internet to my laptop via a virtual WiFi router with the following command.
    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = MySSID key = My8DigitKey
    netsh wlan start hostednetwork

    then share the connection from the control panel > network and Internet > network connections > right button connected Modem > Internet sharing connected the modem to connect to the network wireless 2 (Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter)
    For somedays, it worked well. But now it is not. Now, it starts the virtual router and I can connect my device (phone), but can not browse the internet from the phone.

    In my short experience using hostednetwork wireless you need not to use ICS, which I believe you are trying to use. Just Setup and start hostednetwork function manually or with a third party app such as Connectify and Virtual Router and connect your wireless device, IE. iPhone or iPod Touch, or whatever.

    I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro and everything worked fine, I was able to host a wifi network using the command "netsh wlan. I have a htc x, it successfully connected to the wireless network on my laptop via the netsh tha.

    But earlier, I have no idea of what happened but no device (for example, my cellphone) is able to connect to the wifi/hostednetwork hosted on my laptop. He sees the connection, but still hung on authentication / "obtain an ip address" phase and sometimes loops around that. While this same cell phone is able to connect to wifi hosted on the laptop from my friend, via the same netsh command, also it connects fine to routers wireless etc.

    I noticed that in my network connections section, "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" has disappeared. I tried to run the command

    "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = command not allow."

    and then

    "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow."

    but nothing is done, the virtual wifi adapter doesn't seem to be back. I've updated my drivers for wireless card that is "Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 BGN". But still no change, map of miniport does not return. Then I ran the cmd command "sfc/scannow", in the hope that maybe some file is corrupted and he could get fixed, but even after checking and restarting, it was still no effect on wifi.

    So, basically, that is what is happening, I run the command

    "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid = keyUsage htc = key command persist = mode abcdefgh = enable".

    and it will

    "Hosted network mode has been set to allow.
    The SSID of the network hosted has been changed successfully.
    The user key hosted network password has been changed successfully. »

    Then I run

    "netsh wlan start hostednetwork.

    and it will

    "The hosted network began.

    But in my network connections section, "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" does not appear, instead when the connection is started, "Microsoft hosted virtual network adapter" appears and disappears when the hostednetwork is stopped. But nevertheless, no device is able to connect to this hostednetwork, stuck on authentication / phase "obtain an ip address", as a DHCP server is missing or something.

    Thank you!

    Mike

    Hi mdebeum,

    Thank you for visiting the Sony community!

    Thank you for your time to post your question here, unfortunately we are unable to confirm that since your Vaio SVF15A1C5E is not an American model , and we do not have the full details on the specifications. It is also possible to upgrade the wireless card, but there is no guarantee that it will work without any problem. Usually, we recommend that you replace the adapter with the same model, only not to be upgraded with a superior specs or different model.

    For further assistance regarding your concern, please recommend to visit our Sony Global Web site for more information on contacting Sony's Support Center in your area at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
