    I've this issue on my Lenovo W520 & T440s where my wifi shows "Limited Connection" with Yellow Exclamation mark periodically. I'll have turn the Wifi off & on for the Exclamation mark to dissapear.

    This has been happening since I bought my W520 almost 3 years ago. Initially, I thought it was my home broadband\router, but it happens everywhere I go. So I concluded that there is something wrong with Wifi driver which the 6300 AGN.

    The pattern is the same, start using my laptop. After sometime which varies from few minutes to hours, the yellow exclamation mark will appear, turn off & on the wifi and it disappears. After a while it comes back again.

    Then, 2 months ago I bought the Lenovo T440s with 7260 N. From the first day I started using it, same pattern with my W520 started.

    Is this a common problem with all Lenovo Thinkpads? Or the N version of the Wifi hardware?
