Lenovo S660 turns off Wi-Fi on. Wi-Fi does not work on Lenovo

How to enable Wi-Fi on lenovo laptops? The topic, which, I am sure, will be interested in most laptop owners from this manufacturer. I want to immediately paint that all below the outlined information is mostly designed for all modern models from Lenovo. But despite this, the owners of laptops of other manufacturers, as well, can draw a lot useful information In this article.

By header and on the first paragraph, it is easy to understand that the article has a narrow orientation, that is, specially prepared for users with Lenovo laptops. This is connected with one case when I brought three laptops from Lenovo, with a request to see why WiFi does not work.

It was certainly not one day, but in a day so accurately. In general, along the go, I found some interesting chips because of which Wi-Fi may not work on Lenovo or turn on only after performing certain actions.

Below I will state information on how to enable Wi-Fi on Lenovo laptops in various situations based on personal experience When working and configuring computers from this manufacturer.

What to do if Wi-Fi does not work on Lenovo laptops

Of course, I understand that situations and causes due to which the wireless network may not work. But, if you are sure of all one hundred that everything is OK with the router, then surely the cause of the fault is hidden, unrequitable, in a laptop.

Therefore, I will describe several main points on the inclusion of a network adapter, after running you either earn the Internet, or you rely on the received data, you can move further, for example, to start checking network settings.

Turning on wireless adapter

Checking installed Driver

Required before further configuration, check if you have a driver for a Wi-Fi adapter.

You can download the driver on the Lenovo website, in the Support section. The easiest way to find the necessary page by driven into the search engine here is such a phrase: " Lenovo Z50 Driver"Substituting, of course, its model instead of Z50.

As for the installation, everything is simple and familiar there, run SETUP, wait a few seconds and reboot the computer.

Enable Wi-Fi onLenovo with a monitor cover

In general, it happened that two laptops that came to me were the same model, namely Lenovo Z50. The problem was that when loading the system, the adapter did not turn on automatically, well, while pressing the keys of the keys responsible for its inclusion, the computer did not react in any way.

But as soon as you close the monitor cover for a few seconds, then after opening a wireless adapter will turn on and starts searching for available networks, which is quite surprising.

In general, this chip has worked on both laptops so that I recommend, use to start at least this way of connection, for its further configuration.

The algorithm is simple, closed the laptop cover, waited a few seconds, opened. Voila - the Internet is working. I know for sure that this option Works on many Lenovo laptop models.

Running automatic inclusion Wireless adapter

Another option to turn on the adapter is the function keys on the keyboard, which I mentioned above. Usually they are located on F1 - F12. and displayed in the form of various icons, while used only in a combination with another key " FN.».

I just immediately note that in newer models, more and more manufacturers change these buttons data as a result of which F1-F12 only triggers when "Fn" is pressed, well, the functional on the contrary act as conventional keys.

As Pariil, for enable Wi-Fi Adapter answer F5, F6, F7. In order to make it easier to decide on the required button, you can look at the icon that is applied to it. This is usually Wi-Fi Antensels or Airplane (Mode: On the Plane). For example, in the Z50 I remember exactly that this is the F6 key and the airplane is depicted on it.

In general, after pressing, for example, on " Fn +.F6 " or simply " F6"The screen must appear confirming that network adapter was on. Well, and if nothing happens, then most likely you have no needed package with softwarewhich uses key data.

Installing Lenovo Energy Management

So, if you do not work the function keys or only a part of them works, then most likely you have no LENOVO ENERGY MANAGEMENT..

The fact is that Wi-Fi you can simply do not work because of the adapter turned off, but you can only turn it on using the function keys that in turn only after you install this utility.

You can download it at the office. Lenovo website for any windows version. After you install it, I recommend it, restart your computer and try to use the adapter enable key. If everything is ok, a small menu will appear on the screen in which you can enable or disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

In our case, you need to set the value in front of the wireless network to " Incl", Respectively, choosing it with the mouse. After that, the adapter should turn on and start looking for available wireless networks. In addition, you do not have to manually run on each download. operating systemSo how to do it it will be automatically.

Also, in the case of not the operation of the required keys, it would be advisable to check or even install the keyboard driver by downloading it from the Lenovo support page.

Turning onWiFi on Lenovo using a button

In addition to the way to turn on the wireless adapter using a keyboard, some models on the case may be present separate special button or a switch that meets solely for launching Wi-Fi on a laptop.

It is usually located on one of the side faces of the case of your laptop or near the power button, the singular features for which it can be found all the same, the icon in the form of small antennals is most likely displayed.

Energy saving mode

Energy saving mode, which is enabled by default in the properties of the device, may also cause incorrect operation of a wireless connection or is generally shutdown. You can remove this feature when setting up a network adapter.

After, do not forget to restart the laptop and whether it turned out something or not.

Lit is connected Wi-Fi adapter on motherboard

Well, finally, if you didn't help you, I can recommend checking if the antennas are connected to the adapter, directly, on the motherboard itself.

I once had such a case that it was absolutely on a new laptop for some reason, Wi-Fi did not work at the same time, the drivers were installed, and the device is turned on. But, not one network he did not see, except for those cases if it was distributed with a smartphone. Ito, he was connected to her, but there was still no access to the Internet access.

Having tried anything, I decided to check whether everything was fine with a connection under the lid, unscrew it. As it turned out, the antennas were simply not connected to the adapter itself, although the laptop was new, there is probability, of course, that they disappeared, or simply forgot to connect them.

In general, after I connected them. Everything fell into place and Wi-Fi earned in normal mode.

So, something from what I, in my practice, helped include Wi-Fi on Lenovo laptops, maybe it will be useful for you. In general, as always, I am waiting for your comments and wish you good luck in the settings of your computers.

How to enable Wi-Fi on Lenovo laptops

08/28/2013. 544 comments

The phone does not connect (tablet) to Wi-Fi, writes "Saved, WPA protection \\ WPA2"

Admin.

Hello everyone!

I analyzed a little comments here, which visitors left on the site, checked requests and realized that there is a very common problem with connecting to Wi-Fi, which I have not written yet. But a lot of comments are left on the site with a request to help solve this problem. I advised something there, but I don't know if my tips helped you (Rarely who will write about the results 🙁).

And yesterday, Roman (Thank you good man 🙂) The article left a comment in which he shared information as he solved the problem "Saved, WPA \\ WPA2 protection". This comment helped me a little orient in the problem, and I decided to collect all the advice on solving this error, in one article.

The essence of the problem

When connecting a phone, or tablet (most likely on Android), K. home network, or somewhere in the cafe, there is an inscription near the network name "Saved, WPA \\ WPA2 protection". And nothing more happens. If you click on this network and choose To plug, nothing happens. What this error looks like, you can look at the screenshot above.

I specifically provoked this problem on my Wi-Fi router ASUS RT-N13U and tried to connect hTC phone ONE V (Android 4.0). So I got this inscription "Saved, WPA \\ WPA2 protection". Moreover, everything turned out the first time. How? Yes, very simple. In my router settings, the "wireless network mode" was in AUTO mode, and I installed N ONLY. Saved the settings, turned off the phone from Wi-Fi, but it was no longer possible to connect.

The main causes of the error "Saved, WPA protection" WPA "WPA2"

Friends, I can't definitely assert and give advice that will be one hundred percent workers, I hope you understand. All devices are different, all the settings are different and many more nuances.

But I will try to assemble the reasons for me and how to solve them, through which such a problem with connecting to a wireless network may appear.

If when connected to a wireless network, you saw the inscription "Saved, WPA \\ WPA2 protection" (maybe a little different)then you should check these settings (I advise you to check in the same order):

To begin with, just restart the router.

Several times already noticed such a problem: the Internet on the phone simply stops working, but the connection is also a good network. Turn off and turn on the Wi-Fi on the phone, and the network is no longer connected, writes "saved, WPA2 protection". It helps only reboot the router.

1. Set the right region in the router settings
2. Check the password correct Wi-Fi network
3. Check (Edit) Wireless Mode in Routher Settings
4. Check (change) type encryption and security type, change password in router settings
5. To experiment with the change of the channel on which your wireless network works.
6. Try to change the width of the channel.

And now more on all items

Expose the right region in the router settings

Very often, this error arises precisely because the Wi-Fi settings are the wrong region.

I will show you on the example of TP-LINK how to change the region. If you have a router of another company, then these settings are most likely changing on the same page where the name and other wireless network settings are set.

In the Control Panel, go to the tab Wireless. (Wireless mode) and opposite item Region. Specify the country in which you are.

Save the settings by clicking on the button. Save. (Save).

Check the password and connect again

You may just specify the password wrong (True, then most likely there will be a constant connection, in a circle. But you need to check), And before climbing the router settings, I advise you to check it out.

You ask, and how can I write a password, because the password request does not appear. You need to delete the connection. Just click on your network and select Delete.

Now, click on your network again and enter the password from Wi-Fi. Just make sure it is correct. If you forgot, see the password in the router settings, or on the connected computer (if there are such). Read more in the article.

Checking the wireless network mode

It seems to me that this is the main reason. Just your device (phone, tablet) It may not support the mode in which the router works.

Mode of operation - these are incomprehensible letters b / g / nThat you probably have already noticed in the router settings. Try to experiment with changing the mode. Do not forget to restart the router after each change and turn off / enable Wi-Fi on the phone (tablet).

So I installed N ONLY instead of AUTO and jumped the mistake. And if you already have N ONLY in the settings? So you have problems.

Change the type of encryption / security, password

It may be that your device simply does not like the type of security, or encryption that the router uses. Or do not like the password.

I advise you to set such values:

WPA / WPA2 - Personal (Recommended)

Version: WPA-PSK

Encryption: AES.

PSK password (key) - not less than eight characters and only numbers.

We save, reboot the router, delete the connection on the phone, and you connect by entering a new password.

Attention! After changing the password, or other security settings, problems can be connected to other devices that have already been connected to this network. (Computers, laptops, TVs).

Experiment with a channel on which Wi-Fi network works

Unlikely, of course, but maybe. About what is a wireless network channel, how to change it and why, I wrote in the article -.

Try to experiment, but suddenly helps.

Channel width

There is such an item in setting up Wi-Fi Router, as Channel width. If you, for example, TP-LINK and menus in English, is called it Channel Width..

There you can choose several options: auto, 20mhz and 40mhz - depends on the router. Try to install first AUTO. (or in ASUS 20MHz / 40MHz), if it does not help, then separately.

Where to change the width of the channel?

Go to the router settings ( address 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.0.1, enter a login / password - we look at the bottom of the router).

ASUS

Go to the tab Wireless network and change the value opposite Channel width.

TP-LINK.

Tab Wireless. – Wireless settingsPoint Channel Width..

Internet, Wi-Fi, local networksComputer (laptop) connects to Wi-Fi Router, Skype works, and the pages in the browser do not open

It is difficult to argue with the fact that the Internet has become an integral part of life modern man. However, there are those who enjoyed it only on the computer and only recently acquired a smartphone, not yet figured out how to enable Wai Fi on the phone Lenovo. In this article, we will deal with how to access the Internet via Wi-Fi, why it may not work and how to solve this problem.

Before diagnosing a wireless connection, try to connect the Lenovo Phone to it. To do this, you will need:

• Get notifications to get to the "blind" (spend your finger on the screen from top to bottom) and turn on there Wi-Fi.
• Enter the device settings, find "wireless networks" and connect this option by activating the "Tumbler".
• In the list of active access points that appears, choose the one that is needed to enter the Internet.
• If you need, enter before set password, Usually it consists of 8 characters.

This process is almost identical on all Lenovo devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Sometimes it happens that the gadget refuses to work with the access point. There may be several reasons:

• wrong password;
• router failure;
• incorrectly established modem region;
• Incompatibility of the B / G / N / AC protocols with cells. These letters are four main operating modes Wi-Fi 802.11 wireless network.

Consider every problem in more detail and try to immediately solve it.

Reboot your smartphone

Before proceeding with other steps, simply reboot the phone, in 90% of cases the error goes out and the connection is easily settled.

Alternatively - turn on-off air-mode.

Wrong password

As a rule, access points for home or corporate use are password protected, distinguish several basic versions of safe connection WPA and WPA2. This allows you to avoid connecting freebies and secure traffic. Users are often mistaken in previously assigned combinations, which is why the phone does not connect to Wi-Fi.

Access code must be missed, paying attention to capital letters. Do not forget that we enter a password consisting of a minimum of 8 characters, if less, it means that you missed the necessary symbol. If you forgot the password, you can learn through the modem settings.

Suppose you have already figured out how to configure Wi-Fi and have already successfully entered the Internet several times, but when trying to connect again to a familiar connection, nothing happens. To resume the operation of the wireless connection, you will need to restart the router.

To do this, disconnect it from the power supply and connect back in a few minutes.

Do not use the RESET button for this, otherwise you reset all settings to the factory status.

Region in the router settings

Another reason why Wi-Fi does not work on Lenovo, can be an incorrectly installed communication channel among the router installations. In total, they can be 14 and the device automatically selects the least roaming of them. For example, if only 11 channels support is supported, then there is a chance to stay without the Internet.

To make adjustments, you will need to enter the main settings of the router (all data will be on the sticker from the bottom of the device) and change the region from the Russian Federation to the United States. Thus, the number of active channels from 14 possible will be reduced only to 11.

Wi-Fi network mode

Latest possible causeWhy wifi does not turn on on the phone, the network mode may become. There are three types of them that can be divided into b / g / n. The difference lies in the speed-friendly speed.

For example, minimal value Speakers B, mean G, and maximum n.

In this case, if only the value n is set at the WLAN access point, and mobile device It does not support, it means that the connection will be unavailable.

Change WLAN mode, perhaps only in the router settings. To get into them, pay attention to the sticker from the bottom of the case of your device, the address will be told there (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) to enter the router interface, supported by a login and password (usually, the word admin is administered to these lines). In the next, you will need to find the Mode item, where the value 11 will be set (one of the letters above). Make adjustments, save a new value and try to connect to the network.

Conclusion

As you can see, most problems with connecting to a wireless network are looped on the router settings, which is not difficult to change. However, if you have earlier to figure out how to connect Lenovo to the Internet, but never could connect to any network, including those that are in open access, then there is a probability of malfunction in the gadget itself.

It is likely that a strong blow could serve, damaged an antenna for receiving a signal from Wi-Fi or an unsuccessful android update. Then, it is better to contact the service center, where you can repair the device or change the firmware.

Video

Wi-Fi is the perfect solution for the user world web, lack of wires, high speed, fast loading and sending a large amount of information, allow you to work and have fun in the network without being distracted by such trifles. But what to do if the popular device of Lenovo does not connect the Internet through Wi-Fi or simply does not see wireless network. If you met this "Internet problem" with this "Internet", we advise you to perform simple actions and independently try to configure Wi-Fi on the Lenovo device.

Algorithm self-configuration Wireless connection:

• First, make sure that the access point is enabled to which you connect. If possible, disconnect for 10-20 seconds using the POWER button and turn on again.
• Check the running of the router using another device. If there are no problems, it's time to move to the device itself (tablet, laptop, monoblock or smartphone).
• Reboot the device, the system may require the completion of the installation of updates, reset the current parameters, eliminate the error.
• Go to the menu item "Setup", select " Wireless connection"Activate Wi-Fi and wait a bit. If the device has not connected automatically (there is no alert on the screen), will continue.
• View the available connections, check the password correctness, try disconnect from the selected connection and try again.

If the actions have not led to an error solving, contact a specialized workshop, to carry out the deployed diagnostics and troubleshooting. Our service center is high quality and inexpensively eliminates such breakdowns on all models of Lenovo, and also performs repair and restoration of triggers in all directions, regardless of the complexity of damage. Order a callback, managers will answer all questions: will tell about the cost of services, in particular, how much is the repair of your device, refine the address for free shipping.

Causes of non-working W I-F I on Lenovo

Experts allocate three reasons for failures in Wi-Fi:

Incorrect setting of BS parameters

The new gadget has a factory hidden setting Wireless connections, the parameters of which are installed by default, and are not subject to change. If the device does not work and indicates that there is no BS network, then the device parameters do not coincide with the adjustment of the external router. To eliminate such a type of problems, it will require manually synchronize the type of network encryption and authentication parameters.

Failure AOS.

Operating system errors will definitely affect the device. Restoration of the operability of the operating system android in our service center Perform experienced programmers, using licensed software and equipment, which is a guarantee of the quality of the services offered.

Mechanical damage to the module of wireless connections

In each electronic deviceSupporting data transfer over the network, the Wi-Fi module is built-in, which performs the function of the wireless connections. Unplanned decline in the device, to certainly reflect on the operation of the BS module. The penetration of the liquid will also hurt the work of chips and motherboard Device. To restore the recessed apparatus, it will be necessary to disassemble it, tel-cleansing or replacing a distorted module. Independent intervention will certainly lead to the final breakdown of the gadget.

Internet 3G / 4G / LTE on Lenovo

When activating SIMICATER on mobile phone or smartphone Lenovo.The communication operator automatically sends an SMS message with network configuration of the Internet connection. If the message is not received or network setting Fought, contact the operator mobile communications And ask to duplicate the shipment necessary information. Message received, parameters network connection Installed, data transmission is enabled, but the device does not all connect to mobile Internet network? This situation is on the failure of the 3G / 4G / LTE module, the masters will restore the device urgently and at an affordable price.

Good day forum users. I told me a colleague that after work it goes to buy a phone Lenovo, because All her girlfriends had such such girlfriends in DNS and satisfied. Naturally, I offered my way of developing events ...

Showing sites for purchase in China, stopped at the S660 model, the price turned out to be almost 40% below DNS - budget smartphone long-lived line + delivery 10 dollars. Drew its screen size and metal in the case materials. The prices were approximately the same everywhere and then I remembered about this store, he wrote off with the manager - gave a discount and the order was paid. It is paid, I do not overpass any freebies!
The parcel came pretty quickly - about 25 days to Siberia. Packed by Nevjnetski - regretted pupils, but the benefit of the factory box is very dense. The order did to my address, because No colleague account In a stick, and therefore dedicated to the evening tests and review, especially since I look after this model.

Most recently got rid of his Jiayu G4S, so I will spend parallels with him.

So, here's the characteristics of the device:

Memory 8GB (ROM) + 1GB (RAM)
CPU: MTK6582 Quad-Core 1.3GHz
GPU: Mali 400
Screen: 4.7 "IPS, QHD, 960 x 540

Multi-Touch.
OTG support - no
Language chinese and english in the original, there are multilingual custom and firmware for the European University, which is sold in Russia.

Equipment
Quite medium, but besides Spartan USB cable and charging, there is still a headset of poor quality, a bumper and a film on the screen.

Set

Appearance
Externally, the phone is not bad, quite a high-quality assembly, but once again disappointed Lenovo with its large frames, especially the top and bottom. With a diagonal of 4.7, the device sometimes reaches a compact 5 inches. The presence of metal for me was controversial - the phone turned out slippery and heavy.
The back cover is generally a nightmare - damaged finger - tightly closes. However, all this affects the strength and monolith of the device.
Physical buttons 2 - Volume swing and next to it lock and turn off the device. This is on the right edge. Frankly when these keys are separated from different sides, it is personally more convenient for me.
A port for synchronization with a computer and a MicroUSB charging is located on the lower edge of the left.

Appearance

Screen
Size 4.7 inches for me is optimal, because 4.5 shallow, and 5 is still Velic. Sabzh unfortunately can not boast concise size - the same Honor 6 is almost the same at 5 inches. But in general, tolerant - use one hand comfortable. For example, Jiayu G4S with it is much better - the frames are narrow and the phone is more compact and, accordingly, more conveniently in using one hand with the same 4.7 screen.
In recent years, I have not enjoyed smartphones permit below HD. Here QHD and to be honest, I did not notice absolutely no pixels - everything is more than good. The brightness is enough with your head, always put about 30-40%.
The phone has an IPS matrix and there is no OGS technology. This is certainly not fatally, but in Jiayu G4S an order of magnitude better.
The viewing angles do not even cite, because Everything is purely standard - everything is fine in all directions, but goes into blue when viewed from top to bottom diagonally at a very small angle.

BY
The device came with a multilingual firmware version 4.2.2, but a lot was not translated. But I always study first forums, I look at what is the firmware and choose the device you need while on the way. So it happened now - I downloaded the firmware 058_Light Kikat with the Lenovo-Forum, it contains the minimum that I liked, because Everyone still puts everything for himself. Separate plus firmware author - everything fell and works fine.
The modem sew no longer required, you only need to treat GPS, but it's later.
The firmware is praised as energy efficient and stable. During testing, glitches did not occur.
She sewed through Flash Tul, everything is extremely simple and understandable - in the internet a lot of information.

3G, WiFi, GPS, Communication

3G works properly, but the network divisions rarely turns above 3 sticks and the signal jumps. The same trouble was on my old Lenovo P780, however, on the quality of the connection and the quality of communication, this does not affect the conversation. In the second sim card, which is 2G, this is not observed.
WiFi no complaints caused - in my apartment brokes did not observe - the connection is always stable.
GPS can be standard, but after Jiayu G4S is just a fairy tale. Yes, forgive me owners of Zhuyki, but there GPS is not and it's not about directing hands. It is necessary that it turns on and worked, and not engage in lining foil, etc.
The cold start passed literally in 40 seconds by the window.
On the street clings the moment, because I always have a free Internet 3G in unlimited quantity, I use GPS with 3G and everything works clearly and quickly.
At the forum, the owners advise to pay the GPS after the firmware at 058_Light by the method of replacing the almanac (also on the forums this instruction is applicable not only for this model), but it did not need it.

Near Router

Through a plasterboard wall

Performance
Describing in detail the ligament of MTK6582 + 1 GB of RAM + Mali 400 especially I do not see the point - this is a strong middle peasant, whose potential is absolutely enough for everything and a little more. I don't play heavy games, so it's hard to say for each specific game, but with the words of the owners the device pulls many maximum settings. And on average I think there will be no problem with anything.

Purely symbolically from the anthit

Camera
This item, like GPS I was interested, because Its Jiayu G4S sold only because of the camera and navigation.
The S660 has an 8 megapixel camera. She is not enough stars from the sky, but it seemed to me a little better than that of Zhiki. However, this camera did not justify hopes. Photos are not entirely informative, because Sick and especially I do not go anywhere, and you are not rainbow outside the window)

Frontal 0.3 Mp - and nothing to say

Autonomy
The phone has a battery 3000 mAh. We have nothing to weigh, but it is subjectively harder than that of Zhuyka. As long as I test less than a day, but the device is already happy - for more than 8 hours of active testing and use, the battery asked from 83% to 41%.
I think at the average load it will take day 3.

In conclusion, I would like to formulate the main advantages and disadvantages:

Price
+ housing, assembly
+ GPS.
+ Autonomy

Still the camera, because it is far from perfect
- screen not OGS

Yet myself I will watch something more serious as and price.

At this end, I accept constructive criticism.
Duplicate - the phone bought for money, did not come on a colleague, because With it, they were counted at the rate and just this amount was replenished with my corn.

I plan to buy +2. Add to favourites I liked the review +11 +30
