With the router in pure 802.11G mode, the interface just barely hangs in there. When I run SpeedTest.net, ping times go through the roof, the test sometimes gets stuck without completing, and the results are very bad. Oddly, ping reports no dropped packets. Just severely delayed ones. However,

Thor H. Johansen, to further narrow this down, if you force the router to broadcast on 802.11G only, is the issue still reproducible? ** Description changed: Computer: Lenovo IdeaPad 110 - WiFi AP: Linksys E2500 + WiFi AP: Linksys E2500 v1.0 with firmware v2.0.00 After a few minutes of

Now for the WiFi bug report on the new BIOS: The problem didn't go away, as expected. They wouldn't ship a machine without working WiFi. This is clearly a Linux specific problem, which is why I'm reporting it in the first place. If a BIOS flash somehow fixes a bug that only occurs on Linux, the

For others who come across this report, here are some crucial bits of information about upgrading the BIOS on this machine: 1. Download the Windows BIOS update from the Lenovo support website. 2. Install innoextract (apt-get install innoextract) and use it to extract the MS-DOS flash utility
