Solved Wifi drivers for lenovo G570 running Windows 7 Starter 32-bit

[Colon360]

Hi there,

I'm in desperate need of help - my laptop (lenovo G570) will not stay connected to the wifi at work. It'll connect for 5 minutes, then disconnect & not find the wifi network for about 15 minutes. The thing is, my phone & tablet stay connected permanently. This has been happening since I reinstalled Windows. I've tried switching the router off, unplugging it, and leaving it off for a few minutes, but that doesn't help. I've also been to the Lenovo support page to try find the drivers, but I don't know which ones to use.

Hi ... Welcome to Seven Forums ... Have you Installed any Drivers from the Lenovo Website ? ...

Have you ran Windows Updates recently ? ...


How does your Laptop perform when connected by Lan ? ...

Hi
Go to device manager and under network it should list the WiFi card then go to support site and download and install driver.

Here's a download link for you: Laptops and netbooks :: Lenovo G Series laptops :: Lenovo G570 Notebook - Lenovo Support (US) in case you haven't downloaded one yet, i would recommend choosing the third driver.

@ maxie:
Windows Updates install automatically and were last done at around midday yesterday. As for drivers I installed - yes, I installed drivers yesterday (Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.0) and Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter #2). Connection to LAN is not possible, as all connections are being used at the office.
If it helps, I can connect my phone as a wired router without any problems.

@ oscer1:
When I go to Device Manager, there are so many drivers to choose from, and I have no idea which one to use. All research I've done points towards the above-drivers.

@ ShoTTaS:
Thanks for the link, but the third option is for Windows 8, I'm running Windows 7 Starter 32-bit.

O, i see...

Please change the selection
on the component: Choose (Wireless LAN)
Operating System: Chosse (Windows 7 32bit)

Choose this link: Laptops and netbooks :: Lenovo G Series laptops :: Lenovo G570 Notebook - Lenovo Support (US)
