HI,
i'm using a new Lenovo IdeaPad z580 with Windows 8. the wifi worked fine in Florida. now i'm visiting Israel and the wifi connection appears in Settings but wont connect to the internet.
the internet connections works fine with the cable connected.
all the other laptops and devices in this home work fine with the wifi.
i really hope someone can help me solve this problem.
thanks

You should consider asking a moderator to move this thread to its proper section, network.

You also need to provide more information.
- Do you see the router in your laptop? Is the wifi enabled?
- What's your router make and model? What's the encryption the router is using? Is the SSID hidden?

Probably more questions will need answering, but these should help with a good starting point.

Cheers, L2D.

how to i ask the moderator to move this post to the Network section of questions?
other laptops in the house have no problem with connecting.
this laptop looks as if it's connected by wifi- it works for a few minutes and then just stops loading internet pages.
right now i'm using it hooked up directly to the modem.
thanks for your help.

Tyree, this is a network issue, not laptop hardware support.. You should move the thread.
