phantomapollyon Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm having the same issues with this wireless card, I will be replacing it ASAP once I get the BIOS unlocked and all per this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy2027 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I am also experiencing the same issue with wifi, sometime works great, sometimes it just looks connected but no internet available. have to disconnect and reconnect. even returned the laptop to amazon thinking it was defective but the new one was also doing it :/now I need to test that bios whitelist... I have the AC7260 as well, which I took from my thinkpad t61p (which also had the white list issue, had to unlock bios) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakaPipi Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I fixed this problem by removing the Centrino Driver (in Device Manager)You have to delete it multiple times until it uses the default Microsoft driver. Now my wifi is running perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhlegmaticHero Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 After updating the drivers, I havn't noticed drops as much, but I'm getting between 15-20 mbps right next to my wireless N router... this seems slow to me...So I'm going to upgrade and flash my bios too... my question is what happens if you have to send the laptop in for repair on something else? do you flash your bios back and swap the original 2230 back in?

phantomapollyon Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 My new 7260 is on it's way and the BIOS is modded and ready to roll, I'll report back here and let you guys know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for advice Well actually I do not know, because i have the 2.04 version which has not been cracked yet, I would say from the looks of it you should save your old key, but I do not know, if an unlocked version was avaliable I would love to try this for you, because I do not really care about the codes of home premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyver Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I just pull the trigger on the AC 7260 @ amazon.ca, better wifi? yes please..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Just as FYI:Intel actually has USB, PCI express and M2 versions of the 7260 and some single band N, some double band N, with/without bluetooth. Make sure you get the right one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosoul Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm on the same boat as you guys! The y510p laptop is absolutely stellar except for the wireless. Curious though - which routers / AP's are you using? I have a Netgear N6250 AC which has been excellent. First router in a while that I didn't even bother trying dd-wrt.

phantomapollyon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 But how to save my Windows 8 key when I do not see it at the BIOS:02:?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 the unlock tool patches your existing BIOS backup so it will still have your key in it, I can confirm it worksGreat, can you confirm return to the original BIOS (before patch)?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomapollyon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Great, can you confirm return to the original BIOS (before patch)?ThanksI don't make it a habit of needlessly flashing the BIOS on any machine so I'm not going to do so for now. However, other people have already confirmed that in the unlock thread if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's supposed to be some new one, but I haven't tried it. I'm still testing this router out to see if it's a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Got my 7260 HMW today, I tried changing out the card without hacking the Bios just to see and yup error "unauthorized wireless network card is plugged in" confirmed.... I'll have to start the unlock Bios process... update after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's supposed to be some new one, but I haven't tried it. I'm still testing this router out to see if it's a keeper.I'm getting about 25MB/s sustained with the laptop with the N6250 @ 5ghz AC. I know this router can do more as I've done close to 65MB/s using a Netgear A6200 USB AC adapter from further away. I'm happy with that speed (the 25MB/s on the laptop) - it's much faster than the crap that came with the y510p and on top of that, I have yet to see a wireless drop.

Guyver Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Incase changing out the wireless card is not your 1st option, you can try the following as well message (94), been hearing good things about updating the driver on the 2230.http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/New-y510p-with-a-wifi-problem/td-p/1163533/page/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
