Hi,

I purchased my U410 2 weeks ago. The manufacturing date is 10/15/2012 and I also experience problems with wifi connection problems. Every few seconds it resets the wifi connection. Does anyone have tips for me how to resolve it?

regards,
Raymond

Hey guys,

I own a U310 (manufactured in May 2012, bought in Germany in July 2012) and I’ve never had any problems with the wireless adapter so far. However, the wired ethernet adapter is giving me a hard time lately… looks like the RJ45 connector is a bit loose and the cable just doesn’t fit well. It keeps losing connectivity and reconnecting all the time… Since i prefer wired over wireless connection, this is seriously getting on my nerves. I was a huge fan of Lenovo products, but now… I don’t know… will definitely take in consideration some other brands for my next purchase. Cheers.

I bought a U310 manufactured in October 2012 equiped with the Atheros wifi card. It has the same issue with the wifi signal reception.
I can assure you that the problem hasn’t been fixed July 23rd. I think that it was just a marketing decision to announce that it has been fixed. I will return the laptop to the retailer.

As an update to my Jan. 15 post – I returned the Yoga 13 and my company purchased the Dell XPS 12. The Dell is just as good as the Yoga, and I actually like the form-factor more, as the keyboard is not put down on surfaces when I set the computer down in tablet-form.

Has anyone tried replacing the wifi card? i had an old laptop with broadcom. Max 54G performed better than the u410.
