Managed to gather the courage to flash the BIOS and install an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 and it works perfectly! The lappy even recognized it and installed the drivers automatically.

yep flash the official 2.2, its from Insyde and seemed legit and it updates to official 2.2 no matter what you are on before, then follow the rest of the steps. Also do strictly as the guide tells you, if something goes wrong there is a very high chance of the forementioned letter holder. (i copied the files twice on the dos stick even ^^)

Alright don't worry, I'll extra careful not to. I also stumbled across a video on vimeo of a guy giving step buy step of this exact procedure here BIOS v2.04MOD Tutorial-How to Flash Y400-500 2.02 to 2.04 on Vimeo I'll follow the video and do this later as I need my lappy now. If anyone else needs help the video is really helpful and short.

Yep and you also could have gotten T|I Elite so it would have been instant downloadable. Also 2.0 < 2.2 and the official tool checks version anyway so run the official bios update as mentioned in the guide, anything else likely will result in a 2,8 kg, overlarge but stylish letter holder. But even despite its stylishness its still too heavy and large so save yourself from that turnout

2.0<2.2 as in skip 2.0 and flash official 2.2? Wanna make sure I follow, I had no idea about the subscription.... >_> coulda saved a few days of waiting.

This card seems to be great from what I've heard, I'll make sure to properly flash the bios and all that good stuff so I can order it and finally use the wifi we should've had from the start.

Anyone knows how big Win8 is or if I can check how big it is on my system? I'm thinking of buying an mSATA 240gb soon and I want to know if I should buy a bigger size.

Stumbled upon this post, when I mod my BIOS I'll make sure to buy the intel. Playing BF4 or anything is almost impossible now because of it's unreliability. I CAN play but it's like playing Russian Roulette at this point.

Ok I had to sign up just so I can get a clear answer one this, there are just way too many pages to go through to find the answer so here's my question: I have a BIOS version 2.00 so, do I need to flash a leaked 2.02 THEN proceed with these instructions? I too am fed up with this included WIFI card and I can't wait to get rid of it. A quick reply will be great! Though I still need 4 more posts so I can download these files >_>
