Check it.

Anyway, since the antivirus is uninstalled, not much to do except try different driver.
The problem now is the wireless card itself. Its a weak one.

Yes, even though it is Wireless-N, it only connect at 72Mbps.

Not sure, it installed by Windows 7. Better leave it.

Use the windows built-in backup.
No need to rely the lenovo apps.

Dear all users of y480/y580,

I have bought Y480. wifi (wireless) connection very slow and the line keep on drop.

there is 3 network adapters:
Atheros AR8161/.......Ethernet controller
Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adaptert

2 of them (Atheros LAN and Miniport) are disconnected status and Broadcom is connected.

my question here is:
1. should i Disable Miniport adapter? will this impact my slow connection?
2. when setup wireless connection, we MUST put the network location (home/public/business)?

1st time using win7 too.
hope u guys can help me on this.....................

Many thanks!!!

As for the backup, you want to save it to external HDD also can.

It will include all the thing you have on the HDD, but it will consume as much as that as well.

Start the "Backup and Restore"
create system image
choose your external hdd
it should have say which partition will be backup
then continue and wait it done.

burn also the system repair disc, you will be able to boot incase Windows failure and use it to restore the image saved on the external hdd.
