I got my Y2P on Friday, the network card doesn't even show up when I boot up the machine. Called CS and spent a hour doing all kinds of driver update, still not showing up. In device manager, if you choose "show hidden item", it shows as not connected. All chipset, BIOS, etc. are up to date. I really have to say Lenovo's QC is piece of **bleep**. (A new out of the box $1K laptop doesn't even have a working network card, you've got to be kidding me.)
I ordered the new AC dual band card from Newegg suggested by people on this forum beforehand. replaced the old card myself on Sunday. Now it finally gets detected. I am using the intel 16.5.3 driver. However, it's still not very stable. From time to time, the network card just disappers from the device manager. (It usually happens after either waking up from sleep or a reboot). I deleted the smart connect bloatware, it helps a little bit.
I am going to give it a try for a week, if the wireless card disappear again. I will return this piece of crap and go for Surf pro 2 or, god forbid, an Apple. (Although I don't really like Apple. But I really hate to waste my time on a poorly designed, non-existent QC product like Lenovo). Which is sad because I really like the Y2P, if it works.
same issue at same time. told lenovo it was a connector issue. they said send it in for repair. they took two weeks, and replaced the motherboard and wireless card but i'm still having same issue since got the repaired laptop. called them and asked them to send me a technicain to make the repair. they said they'll escalade to see if its possible. they offered a return, but no replacement. I've already wasted a lot of time researching the laptop and dont want to buy a new one. did they give your problem or did u return it? thanks!
