drekx,
I received my y580 recently and this is exactly what's happening to me also.
My home network has no problems, any laptop that comes into our house can connect to it, as do cellphones and tablets. This Y580 however, cannot. It can see the networks but right before establishing full connection, it starts over with error messages. I have read nearly every thread here and done everything I could find on the internet, but to no avail.
I've tried:
- updating drivers from Lenovo and intel
- removing McAfee (already did that right out of the box)
- fn + f5 to check if wifi is on (it is)
- check if i have Lenovo ReadyComm and uninstall it (I don't have readycomm)
- unplugging, replugging router
- changing power management to stop shutting down wifi to save power (problem isn't wifi is turning off, it just won't connect)
- tried the solution in the thread to no avail
What else? A lot more but can't think off the top of my head but I've spent a whole day trying to fix this.
Strangely though, I sometimes am able to connect to my network, with really fast speeds. But as quick as that happens, I get disconnected and will be unable to connect for the rest of the day.
My theory is that I need to change some settings on my y580 wireless/internet settings. It can never negotiate and authenticate my connection (except for two rare occasions). Also, what I do know is that the wireless is in fact enabled, as I am able to search and attempt to join networks.
I'm actually really stressed out about this. I pay $1000+ for a laptop only to troubleshoot it.
