I bought a U310 in February, the manufacturing date is 21/09/2012 and yet the wifi is still pants?! even when I’m sitting right next to the router (as I am now), my download speeds are horrific and I’m lucky if I can get a connection upstairs in my room. apart from that, the ultrabook is beautiful. but, let’s be honest, quality wifi is integral to an ultrabook. should I phone in or continue being frustrated?

I purchased a Lenovo U310 and at the beginning no problem but now my Wi-Fi conection continously drops. The Wi-Fi has dropped 5 times already today and I when I open the Window to “Fix Issue” option of Windows 8 it keeps saying that the Wireless Adaptor was not workint properly. The conection issue is fixed everytime and it gets conection back buts it should not be doing that so often. Some days I have to fix the problem to conect to Wi-Fi at least 5 or 6 times.

Is there an apdate I can do, or do I have to return a faulty unit?

Got my new U410 a few days ago. No problems whatsoever! Works good, and without installing new drivers.

HP laptops are the best since they last longer and sturdier.:

Per Lenovo: There is an antenna design/placement flaw WITH NO PROJECTED FIX!!! Lenovo is criminal in it’s conduct, knowingly misrepresenting and selling a defective product.

I really do not believe it’s a metal / Faraday cage issue.

I have the U300s which is a completely metal aluminum predecessor to the U310 and U410 laptops… I and the many users on the U300s have had ZERO problems with wifi.

It must be either a faulty chip, drivers or antenna.

I also just bought the Lenovo Yoga, and in many cases it also has wireless problems. Not the same metal though. Just a crappy Realtek wifi card with proprietary connector.

I almost bought a U410 today – but decided to do some web-search first and I am happy I did.
the vendor explained that the metal casing meant that cooling would be much more efficient.
I believed him – looked good.
But I am a physics MSc in the back-ground so I should have thought: “Faraday’s Cage”, i.e. any electromagnetic waves will be completely wiped out in a metal container.
Same with Mobile phones in elevators.

I see the comment above “the root cause is the place on the board for the wifi card and the metal casing. All users with all cards (and Lenovo has tried six different cards in the u410) are still reporting problems. see lenovos user boards. November 2012 builds still have major wifi issues”.

I.e. they try different WiFi cards and it does not work –> I.e. they make a mistake with the metal casing.

I’m sorry for Lenovo and the rest of you.
The PC truely looked great and I loved the 30 GB SDD for the OS…
