Will this card allow my T30 Thinkpad to connect to a network using a WPA-PSK security key ?

I would say yes. I've used this card with several Toshiba laptops running Windows XP as well as Windows 7 with no problem connecting to a WPA2 configured router.

Security AUTHENTICATION LEAP, WPA, 802.1X, EAP-TLS, ENCRYPTION CKIP, TKIP, 128-bit and 64-bit WEP Product Safety UL, C-UL, CB (IEC 60590) So my guess would be no but millions of people know more about this than I. I'm glad most people had an easy installation with this card. I was one of the few who had no more patience when I completed the install. I had to flash the bois, run another program called "NO 801" on the cmos AND actually soldier the antenna wires back on to the new card. The Thinkpad T30 was set up to ignore the intel card, hence all the workarounds. I will say after all the Bull and Frustration the card works very well, crisp, clean and strong signal even from a good distance away from the router. Hope that helps..................

I bought it for Thinkpad T-Series and it worked well with it. I am not sure about W-Series.

According to the specs of T400s, it's NOT work.You can google "thinkpad T400s msATA", or refer below:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/mSATA-SSD-on-T400/td-p/1407231

Yes and no. This specific card won't work because it's generic. For lenovo, intel builds special cards with a unique lenovo product number. It's called "bios lock whitelist" or something like that in some technical posts. Look for the same model number but where it specifically says "works with lenovo". Now, there is a second issue. Lenovo must sell your laptop with this card somewhere so your bios has a whitelist entry for this card. Lenovo only white lists wifi cards they put into their product.

Yes! I presently have it on my Thinkpad X301. It did wonders for performance.

I was able to access and load files from my eMachines W3502 Tower. Therefore, it appears to perform as backward compatible.

Hi everyone,I just experienced the same issues with the adapter on my TC-L32x30 regarding wireless security with the DY-WL10. I found that the issue is due to the fact that when entering the security key on the TV set, it passes it in with ALL CAPITALS (I can't find a way to make lowercase on the set yet). So if your router password is in all lowercase, this will not work. If you change your router password to some combination of UPPERCASE and numeric, then the security encryption will still work. However, you will need to update your settings on all your network other devices.I Hope this helps everyone. Notes: I didn't require the USB extension cable for the dongle. I'm using a wireless G router setup. Hi everyone,I just experienced the same issues with the adapter on my TC-L32x30 regarding wireless security with the DY-WL10.

I tried installing it on a Lenovo Ideapad Y-500 and the proprietary BIOS on the machine prevented it from booting with the card present. There are hacks to permit the use of the card but for now it is waiting till I can put together a network box running pfsense. No idea if you would run into a similar issue with an AMD machine, good luck!

I did see drivers for this network card for workstations only servers. I used it on a server. The connection is PCI Express.

the short answer is yes your Lenovo ThinkPad already has a mini wireless card installed in it all this card is is a PCI Express card so essentially like in desktop tower you can add any PCI Express accessory Card provided it fits in the space provided in your laptop. you will have to download the drivers for the card though from intel.com

I believe it should but to be sure you may want to open up your laptop to see which configuration the wireless card is.

This card does have Simultaneous WLAN and BT operation. Compatibility regarding a/g/n is something that the manufacturer for this item will have detailed specifications, unfortunately we do not have that information. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Be aware that this card doesn't support WPA2 and Spectec seem to have disappeared.

Looks like it is supported. http://support.lenovo.com/ae/en/documents/pd014572

Yes, u can do that.. Not just with the t keys, but with almost all other keys.. You can do that in the driver software, not the powergrid.. If the software crash, run as adminstrator...

Basically, yes. I have my unit in a retail location. It's plugged in to my switch which is connected to the firewall. I have it locked down with WPA2

Yes. Here are the steps in the correct order to do this with the stock firmware. As other have said, internet access may take a while after setup is complete. 1) Plug in the router and turn on the wifi (there is a button on the router for this) 2) Connect to the the network being broadcast from the TP-link router (The password is on the bottom of the router) 3) Open a browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar 4) Click on DHCP and disable it, then click "save" at the bottom 5) If you have more than one of these routers or your main routers IP address is 192.168.0.1, click on Network then LAN and change the IP address of the router to some different IP like 192.168.2 click save, reconnect to the TP-Link network and log back into the router by using the new IP address. 6) Click on Wireless then Security and change the password for the TP-link network to the same password as the network you are trying to extend. Click save, reconnect to the network with the new password and log in to the router again. 7) Click wireless again. 8) Change the SSID to the same SSID as the network you want to extend. 9) Click the Check box next to "enable WDS bridging" 10) Click on "survey" then select the network you want to extend 11) enter the password for that network toward the bottom of the page 12) Click save 13) click OK or agree to the error that will popup about the channel being set to auto. Agreeing to this will let the router set the channel to whatever channel the main router is using. 14) The router should disconnect you and you should reconnect to the network you wanted to extend but with better signal strength. It might take a minute for internet access or you might have to restart your laptop and other devices. This was from memory so it should be close but might not be perfect. The order of the steps does matter and is different than TP-Links FAQ answer.
