Wireless Card Spottiness - Lenovo T440

Ask them to replace the laptop since this will be the third time you have sent it back.

What @dafyre said but also, I've had nothing but bad experiences with Lenovo it seems like. For some reason my company is a Lenovo shop. I have no idea why. I really would avoid buying from them in the future if you have a choice.
-
@dafyre Yeah... maybe....
@wirestyle22 that isn't my call unfortunately...

Sunk cost fallacy here.

I feel bad for all of you forced to keep Lenovo anything around: http://fortune.com/2015/12/08/lenovo-solution-center-hack/

Take the laptop out and trade it for $20 worth of crack, then go buy a Dell or something. Win/win.

Can I opt for beer instead of narcotics?

@travisdh1 Older issue, but yeah.... I'd just as soon install our own image on it. But I don't want Lenovo attempting to use that as an excuse....

I guess... if you can find a beer dealer standing around that will take trades like that.

Have you checked to see if the antenna wires are properly attached to the wireless card? Fairly likely to have been pulled during a motherboard swap out and I swear those little bastards are never the same after you disconnect them once.

I haven't because I have warranty on the device, so I'm not touching this thing besides to confirm its usability.
Normally I would, and that is what I'm assuming as well...

You're correct. Don't open it.

Right, don't open it. I wonder if it got one of the lucky superfish enabled wifi adapters?

"So long, Lenovo... and thanks for all the Superfish!"

supposedly that was solved by releasing a driver without superfish.

Dominica's Lenovo crashed hard tonight. That thing with Win 10 crashed like once a month. Asus with Ubuntu, never.

Where you still using the WiFi card that came with it? It was totally worth the $65 investment in a third party card for my Yoga. After that - all problems just gone!
And I upgraded to AC, it came with N.

Yes, still using the Lenovo hardware.
