So, I have a Lenovo Y50-70 gaming laptop. I don’t use it for ArmA or gaming in general anymore since I purchased my Alienware Aurora R8 tower, but it is still a great laptop. My issue is with my WiFi adaptor. At home, I use AT&T Uverse internet. When I log on using WiFi, after a few minutes the WiFi adaptor will shut off. I have changed it so that it Windows cant shut it down, and done most of the fixes that I’ve found online. When it’s shut off, I can go into settings and click enable, and it won’t re-enable. Then, if I try to shut down, it won’t shut down. I have to hard reset it. The weird thing is, it works perfectly on every WiFi network except home. All other WiFi devices work fine at home. Laptops, SmartTVs, tablets, etc. So I don’t believe the modem or router is bad.
I would think that it was the WiFi card itself, except, like i said, it works perfectly on any other network I try. Just not this particular modem/router combo. I don’t know if it just doesn’t like the Uverse WiFi gateway or what. A new WiFi card is only 15 bucks, but I don’t want to buy a new one if it’s a compatibility issue with the router. If I plug it into Ethernet, it works fine with no issues, but that kind of defeats the mobility of the laptop. I was hoping someone out there has heard of this issue and could help out.
