Hey guys,
I just got the Lenovo Y500 a few months ago and it came with the Intel Centrino Wireless N-2230.
The WiFi on this laptop kept on disconnecting after a while of usage, at first I thought it was the laptop's problem but after I got a replacement the problem still occurs. I tried this with other Wifi connections at my University and home and friend's house but it still kept on disconnecting after a while.
Can anyone please give me a solution to this problem? I think I heard it's to do with the the Windows 8 x64 I'm currently running on.
This is what I've tried so far:
1. Got replacement
2. Downloaded newest drivers and installed them
Symptoms of this problem:
1. Disconnects after a while, it shows network available but I cannot connect to them
2. Sometimes, it doesn't show any network (i.e all my WiFi connections are not visible)
3. I cannot restart my WiFi because I go into Windows 8 "Change pc settings" and it says I cannot turn off my WiFi
This problem is really bugging me because every time this happens I have to restart my laptop!
I would really appreciate your help!
