I got a new Lenovo Y460p i7 2630 QM last week. Everything else appears to be working fine, but the laptop has issues with the wireless internet. Although, it works fine on LAN, and my other laptop connects to my router at 54 Mbps, this new y460p connects at 6 mbps mostly & drops to 1 mbps. I have checked for the drivers and it appears to have the latest driver. I'm running out of options, could you please help?

On the front of the laptop, you will notice a switch. It turns the wireless on and off for airport security etc.. make sure it is on - pc icon with brackets on each side....good luck!

If all your gear is working fine then the issue lies with the girlfriend's laptop wi fi chip. I had the same issue and had to return the laptop for another.
Connect your Lenovo to the ECB with a standard Ethernet cable. Assure yourself that it can talk to the internet in this configuration. If it works, it will rule out DNS and DHCP issues and will point to a wireless-only issue.
Temporarily turn off encryption on your router and see if your Lenovo can connect. If it does, turn on WEP encryption only. If that also works, go back to WPA. Wherever the process breaks down, it will tell you where your problem lies.
have the same problem. even after assigning a valid address statically to the network card and connecting with a wired connection, i cant even ping the router
Your Intel wireless-G 2.4Ghz is defective, all you have to do is test another wireless LAN to make it sure that is working via USB panel. I encounter this kind of problem and wish it would be the same like me. Usually this kind of problem cannot see itself that is defective but it is working good to your PC. Just try a new wireless LAN if might work. Good luck!
Your network profile is damage create a new one, once the profile get corrupted it will never allow to connect to any outside networks due to security measure.
