Dear All,

Anyone know if the Broadcom WIFI max at 72mbps for Y580?

That is very bad, the transfer rate is only able to reach 2mBps while my 4 years old Dell can reach above 5mBps easily.

laptop also having the same issue. not only mine, few of my friend also having the same issue.

now i am trying to install g580 driver see whether it is stable or not because g580 got september driver.

if not i gonna go for asus driver as asus has newer driver.

if i still cannot solve it i gonna send to lenovo ask them change a wifi adapter. this broadcom got so many problem..

Added on September 19, 2012, 8:03 amnoticed that also. especially under wifi N. i updated the driver and now i need to test some more.

the signal is also weak compared with other competitors model.

am currently using 5.100.82.112 (stock lenovo drivers)

saw that HP has drivers for 5.100.82.139 that is released on 2012-07-13

and i found out that asus has version 6.30.59.0.

Thanks for the ssd info. I think I'll opt for ssd as boot drive

chg to a better wireless card?
but people here say format and fresh install W7 got problem...so chg hardware a bit risky
spec too good to be at this price range

If install fresh copy of Windows 7 got problem, then I think all the laptop cannot format then.....
I think just the Boardcom wireless adapter problem, Atheros one no such that problem

guys, burning using the external ODD that was originally from my Y580 is damn slow. is it because of the usb 2.0? shall i get a usb 3.0 ODD?

p/s: i plug my ODD to a 3.0 port.

Our ODD only 8x at DVD, so speed would be slow....

but i am only burning a music album to cd it took me ages. 30mins already still @ 0%.

Try another disc, or see whether ur ODD can read disc or not...
Or change another burning software

That's quite weird, right after I have make my factory recovery disc then I straight went for format with Win7 Pro.

Everything working smooth till now. I have been using stock drivers except for my graphics drivers.

Got install SSD already?

Alright will try later. How about u guys? How long u all take to burn cd album? Which Software you all use?

Not yet oh...

Planning to get SSD soon though. Have try to order the caddy bay. Probably wait for caddy bay arrive 1st before getting the SSD.
Got any value for money SSD to recommend for me? So that I can put them on my list first. Hehe

Intel 330 ? Crucial M4 ?

BTW u can order at TaoBao, or join my bulk order thread, besides order keyboard protector, I can also order some other thing

i suspect it is the antivirus issue that causes the wireless problem.

why don't u install mSATA SSD instead?
1. you no need to remove anything
2. u have 2 harddrive

Guys, another issue regarding on usb3.0. Why I plug in my 3.0 pendrive on 3.0 port, it ask me to change to a faster USB 3.0 port? Isit driver not updated?!! Sigh...js bought this y580 few days only

McAfee make the wireless damn slow,especially when startup .
Uninstall it, something magical will happen

So which driver are you using now? I can't find any new driver for this Broadcom card, cause Lenovo didn't even mention which model we are having.
