i purchased Lenovo Yoga 8 Tablet from amazon but I am returning it, as it has very poor wifi range. It is less than two feet. Even when placed alongside the router, the signal is good only and not excellent. Is it a wifi chip defect?

Sounds like it. If you have another WiFi device, check its reception. My Yoga 8 has reception as good as the rest of my devices.

mine was slow, wi-fi or not. Support is HORRIBLE. WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I returned the laptop because one of the keys didn't work, then they refused to fully refund because one of the keys didn't work. under fraud investigation. Don't get LENOVO

Yes this is true. But it is not from Lenovo. It is the Wi-fi device itself. I have owned many kinds of laptops with the 7260 N Wi-Fi adapter and no matter what you do, You'll always have issues with it depending on your situation. My best advice is to either return the laptop or upgrade that adapter to a 7260ac wifi.

Hey ASUS I have a question.I am ready to purchase the UL30A-X5, but I worry about the issues with the Wifi dropping signals. This is a dealbreaker for me as I will be using this laptop for wireless websurfing.Any comment on the problems people are having? Is it the atheros card? How can I get a unit with the the Intel card?Thanks for all your help and I really like ASUS products. Please don't make me have to buy a HP DM3.

Yes....I do have prob with the wifi very badly...it is really not working in mine...when I got it checked in India I heard they saying it is due to partition problem...that they might have not done the partition properly.

It is a touch screen and it's excellent. I was surprised for the money. But I could not connect mine to wifi. I don't know if it was defective or an issue with my router. I sent it back for a refund. Sorry I can't give you more details other than that.

I can't speak directly for the ThinkPad Edge as I don't own one. I checked the Lenovo site for the specs on E545 and it lists the following:"Bluetooth 4.0 combination with WLAN"It's a straight Bluetooth mouse that will require drivers provided by Lenovo for the mouse itself. When I first installed this mouse with the supplied drivers, it would intermittently lose connection. Lenovo had an updated driver on the site and once installed, it worked perfectly. If it has Bluetooth, which it appears it does, then it should work fine.

I had the same problem. Poor Wi-Fi connection or none at all. Unfortunately Matricom quality control is hit or miss. I sent mine's back and purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and I absolutely love it!

Me either. Thinking of sending mine back. I got two. I can't use Google Play Store because wifi not strong enough. Strangly, every other device in our house is worki fine with our current wifi set up, so it MUST be this device.

We have no issue at all. I have purchased two and a lenovo ThinkPad and no issues at all. Absolutely known. Maybe you need a signal booster for your location.

From the Lenovo site: "I sent a quick note off to our engineering team and received confirmation that we support the 2.4Ghz band, but not 5Ghz on Yoga." So, there's your answer.

I had nothing but problems with mine. It eventually would not stay connected to wifi. I lost about $20 in games too. I returned it.

I have it on my N66, and I have noticed a decent but modest improvement in range, particularly on the 2.4 GHz band. The other factor that really comes into play is whether or not your devices have the power to transmit at the extended range, but I have gotten a better signal through a few walls, and electrical interference on tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles. Truly just plug-and-play.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

It is regrettable, but Dwayne is correct. These are not well made. In many instances the cheap devices are actually what we (I'm an embedded systems programmer) consider prototypes not really ready for consumers. One of the biggest problems we've run into is wifi, and I imagine 4g is the same. Before we release a product we exhaustively test wifi and other problem features. Digital Reins believes in "testing it in-line." In other words, you're the tester.I recommend you return it if you can. It can't be fixed.

Yes. Excellent WiFi. I brought two tablets. One still working good. It was a gift to someone else. The second one was mine but it locked up twice. The first time it locked up I reset it back to factory settings. The second time it locked up it was locked up for good. Sent it back and got a refund. I really liked that tablet wish it didn't lock up. I should have read the reviews first before buying.
