My wife has a lenovo, and I couldn't get it to hook up to our home wireless router. I discovered that the software that hooks it up was not microsoft. (Under control panels, wireless connections) I uninstalled the lenovo wireless program and rebooted, then used the one that microsoft windows uses. Hope this might help

Ensure that you have installed the drivers BEFORE plugging in the wireless adapter, or Windows will install its own drivers that often do not work.
Try unplugging the adapter from USB and reinstalling drivers. The setup wizard will tell you when to plug in the adapter.
If still no luck, test the adapter on a different computer, the wireless adapter may be faulty.

How to open webcam in lenovo thinkpad laptop

We ran a typical Thinkpad T400 battery of tests, including games, applications, and a couple other areas. Time constraints limited the amount of testing we could get done before the NDA lift (and it's already a few hours late), but we will be providing a follow-up article with further testing and information. That said, if there are any specific areas that you'd like to see tested, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment.
