Wan Miniport Windows 8 Lenovo
May 08, 2013 I have recently installed Windows 8 Professional 64 Bit and all the drivers were fine then 2 days after this one came up with a yellow exclamation mark WAN Miniport (Network Monitor) #2. I have reinstalled the network driver for windows 8 hasn't solved the problem.
In a Lenovo G585 with Windows 8 installed, I can not connect to Wi-Fi networks. I see that there is no button to turn on the Wi-Fi. After googling I found that Lenovo's don't offer such a button and I need to press Fn+ F5. Pressing Fn+ F5, I see the option to enable Airplane Mode On/Off and it says that there is no wireless access enabled but there is no option to connect to a network. I checked BIOS and the Wi-Fi access is on. I can connect to the internet with cable only. Is this a known issue for Lenovo? Trio dangereux torrent.
How can I enable the wireless access in Lenovo? [Solution to Fn+ F5 not working] I faced the issue of Wi-Fi not being enabled in May 2016 (suddenly Fn+ F5 stopped working and I could not reenable the Wi-Fi on my Lenovo Y580) after many of the forum posts had been written. None of the proposed solutions I came across solved my problem. Now I found a solution and am here to share it: • Go to Lenovo support page and select your laptop (mine was IdeaPad Y series (ideapad) Y580 model bought back in 2012) • select your operating system (mine is Windows 7 (64-bit)) • download and install the BIOS update I don't know why, but flashing (updating) the BIOS worked, once computer restarted Fn+ F5 worked again, as well as the 'A' symbol on the screen when Caps Lock was pressed started appearing again as well.
Below I will list all the things I tried from forum and Lenovo pages to solve the problem that did not solve it (but may solve your problem in case updating the BIOS won't do): • Going on Control Panel/Network and Internet/Change adapter Settings and enabling the Intel wireless connection: Windows cannot enable it, it actually recommends you use a physical switch or use function keys when you use the 'diagnosys' function. • Going on Win+ R msconfig startup and enabling all 'Startup Item's named 'Lenovo.' (Strangely, my 'startup' list does not contain 'Lenovo Utility' item as I have seen on the internet, not even now when all is working well.) • Going on BIOS (restarting computer and pressing F2 when Lenovo icon appears) and disabling the Wireless connection, then restarting, going on BIOS again and enabling the Wireless connection. • Uninstaling and installing again the other software for download at the support page for my laptop model, 'Lenovo Onekey Recovery' and 'Power Management', or installing the 'HotFix' listed there. • Plugging my computer to a monitor, using 'extended option' to extend desktop to both screens (laptop and monitor) and trying Fn+ F5. (I thought the dialog box was opening on a hidden area of the desktop as I sometimes use a monitor.).
