X200 thinkpad tablet -- wireless adapter keeps turning off

Hi all,

 

I have an X200 Tablet--brand new. The wireless however, keeps turning itself off. I keep having to press fn -> f5 and turn it back on. I thought it might be turning off due to a power setting so set 'Wireless adapter settings, power saving mode' to 'maximum performance' in lenovo's power manager. I also have unticked 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' in the wireless adapters properties -> config. Neither of these have helped, does anyone have an suggestions?

 

Cheers,

James

I would try this updated driver from Lenovo.

Go to...
  • Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network Connections
  • Right click the wireless network connection and select properties.
  • Click the Configure button
  • Go to the Power Management tab
  • Unselect (remove check mark) from "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
That should take care of it.
The asker already did this according to the first post. There are 3 places to set power for the Wireless NIC in a Lenovo Thinkpad.   ... Thinkpads_User
