    Hello everyone,

    I am running a Lenovo Y400 (win 8 64bit, intel n2230 wireless card) and I just bought a TP-Link WR1043ND router about 10 days ago and I have it connected to my ISP modem. For the first few days after the installation, the internet connection seems to be intermittent but still acceptable, nevertheless it got worse these 2 days.

    The symptoms: whenever I connect to the router, I get an endless identifying, connecting and no internet access status on my network connection status. I have updated my wireless card driver, reset it (disable/enable through the device manager), reset through the command prompt, power off/on the router, etc and it still doesnt work. However my iPad and my dad's mac book are both connected just fine. Sometimes I manage to get it connected to the imternet after I power off/on my router for a few minutes then the problem get back again, it just suddenly disconnected and the cycle re-appear.

    I'm getting really frustrated that I dont know if my wireless card or router is broken and how to fix them. Do I need to reset and reconfigure the router to see if thats the problem (but it is connected to my dad's mbpro & my iPad just fine)? Or if the problem lies with my laptop, how can I fix them?

    Thank you, really appreciate your help.

    Hey dude.
    Right does your card randomly drop
    WiFi like eveny 3-4 minutes. Well the issue is that the WiFi card is not getting enough power.
    Solution
    Go to power settings and scroll to find your network adapter. Change setting to "maximum performance"

    See what happenes.
