Hey all,
I bought the Lenovo Ideapad Z510 yesterday and was excited to try it out, however one thing i noticed off the bat was the poor WiFi performance on the otherwise flawless laptop. At times it becomes weak, and suddenly disconnects, leaving me with the "Limited Connectivity" sign. I did some research and found this was a widespread flaw in the Z510 which many users reported. There is no current guaranteed fix to this problem, and I was wondering if anyone here could help me and fellow Z510 users out as it's becoming very very annoying.
Cheers.

I'm not sure which WiFi card it is, how am I able to check? I apologise for asking "noob" questions, I'm a bit of a technical rookie.

On Windows 8.1, open device manager by right clicking the start button then click device manager. Expand the network adapters page and you'll find your WiFi card there.

It says Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter...should I still get the 16.8.0.6 driver?

Tried those steps, didn't work.

Thanks for the rep!
Well, you can try some Broadcom WiFi drivers here and see if it helps: Station-Drivers - Broadcom (WLan)
Download the 21/11/13 Version 6.30.223.170 (W8.1)/6.31.223.1(W8)/6.32.223.1(W7) by clicking on the floppy drive icon. -
Also, I greatly appreciate your help with my issue, it's nice to see someone care for once! -
All three drivers are bundled together in one package. So if you just extract them to desktop and install it by launching "AsusSetup.exe", it will automatically find the appropriate drivers for your Windows 8.
It's a rather large file. So it'll take a while if you have a lower tier internet plan -
Been a day since I downloaded and ran those drivers, connections been superb since. I'm going to wait a few more days until I declare it successful, but in the meantime it's been superb. Thanks a lot again!
