Hey guys I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this. I am having a very frustrating issue with my wireless connection. My laptop is unable to connect to the internet at times and when I finally connect I then get randomly disconnected and the cycle repeats. I have the y470, which uses the "Intel Wifi Link 1000 BGN" NIC card. My brother has a y460 with the same NIC card and it is fine. I believe the issue with my y470 started around the time I got a new Wireless N Actiontec router from Verizon for my FIOS internet service. I have tried playing around with a few things which include:
1. Making sure I have the latest firmware for the router
2. Updating to the latest drivers for the NIC card on my lenovo y470 (14.3.0.6)
3. Changing Security used from WPA-AES to WPA2-AES
4. Restarting the router
5. Resting the router (which works temorarily)
6. Unchecked "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
7. Double check to make sure transmit power is set to hightest
This may be a router issue, but my brother has a y460 which has the same wireless card and does not have this problem. So, I'm not sure what to do.
