How do I fix this? I can't connect to my wifi at home. There is a separate app through Lenovo which deals with the wifi radio instead of windows handling it.

You should have a lenovo app that would guide you through the connect wizard which is similar to windows. You can get windows to connect for you instead but it is not recommended. Look down on the right corner of your task bar and look for the app. If it has been disabled, then try using Windows connect genie. Try not to get a conflict with Lenovo's app. One more thing, very important....Make sure the radio switch has been activated:-)

Huge problem caused by WRE54G. After the setup, my laptop can "see" the network but cannot get on internet: "Page cannot be found." The laptop is connected to the wireless network, signal is strong, can see other members of the network, but not internet!!! These people in India could not help, go figures...

Can the unit work as a wireless transceiver for a laptop without a wifi transceiver? I mean, I have a laptop whose wireless radio stopped working; could I plug this thing in to its ethernet jack to get it to act like a wifi card?

Try the ethernet with any laptop, if it works then it should give you the wifi with this device ;p

I've done that with a laptop. I've configured the wifi extender and just connected the laptop through an eth cable. It worked automatically after that.

It should connect to the wi-fi u currently have in your home, I had no problem hooking mine up. Try to reset your wi-fi then try again. If you can't get it contact the seller, they are great to deal with.

Windows 8 is very helpful. From the Start screen, begin typing the word "Wifi" to get to the Wifi settings or "Network" if you already have a network set up to connect to.

Disconnect from the wireless and then go to the properties for your home connection. Just uncheck automatically connect. From their on it should only connect when you manually connect to the wifi.

Mom I haven't got this error message until now. Is it about a Lenovo application? Or is it a third-party app? I'm gonna check BTW in the notifications window

McCafee is a likely problem. You might try disabling the firewall. Can you connect through the Ethernet port? Presumable the WiFi router is OK if you have tried SBUX. Check the router with another PC. I have seen this problem when the WiFi is not connected to internet.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

Don't know. I am usually a fan of lenovo products, but no this one. Sent it back within two days. It was unable to maintain a WiFi connection. Much googleing revealed this to be a pretty common problem with that tablet. I am an electronics engineer and this seemed to be a firmware problem maybe they have fixed it; maybe they haven't. You will spend the difference between this and a galaxy tab 7 inch on shipping and in time getting the RMA. Its up to you. Good luck.

I'm sorry to say that this (or any other card) will not work. Lenovo has what they call a "whitelist". If you install it you will get a Bios error and be unable to boot into windows. This means that you can't just order this part from anyone, you have to get it from them. Lenovo will sell you a wireless card if you call them, but get ready for it...at the cost of $170! Before you run to another laptop company, Lenovo isn't the only company that has a "whitelist". The only things you can swap out yourself are the hard drive and the memory. Not that it matters at this point, but I'm not sure if you would need to install a new antenna, I'm not familiar with the v570. The only advice I can give at this point, is to get a usb adapter. They make micro ones that don't stick out too far. Sorry for the bad news. Good luck.

I still havent got it working as far as the Wifi is concerned. Works as long as its plugged into computer. I got some pointers from our IT guy where I work but just havent had time to try it again.

Purchased a Yoga 2 Pro laptop directly from Lenovo in October, 2014. Experienced very frequent wifi issues. Technical support from Lenovo suggested configuration changes to the wifi adapter that reduced the frequency but didn't get rid of issues. Currently awaiting replacement wifi adapter and related parts after yet another Lenovo tech support conversation. So I have to agree the wifi issues reported by others are truly a problem with this laptop.

Yes, I had the same issue. I had to downgrade back to 2.0.1 in order to get it to integrate with my home wifi network. Plus, I had a router that ran 2.4 and 5ghz on the same SSID and I had to give them different names to get this device to work. It's a bit buggy
