Greetings All,
I recently was given a Lenovo laptop/tablet computer (Lenovo Ideapad s340-151wl) with Windows 10 (64 bit I believe)...(I f'ing hate it!). Below are the specs copied from the net for whatever it's worth.
"1.6GHz Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor with up to 3.9GHz speed and 6MB cache memory.
256GB SSD keeps your running programs active while your computer resumes from suspension in seconds.
Windows 10 Home gives you the familiar feel of Windows with enhanced capabilities.
8GB smoothly runs your games, photo, and video editing applications
DDR4 RAM: with its higher bandwidth, everything from multi-tasking to playing games gets a performance boost.
Features Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution for unbelievable pixel-by-pixel image performance.
Its 15.6" display offers 40% more viewable area than a 13.3" screen,so you have more room to spread out your work, and more space to enjoy your movie.
Intel UHD Graphics 620 provides everyday image quality for Internet usage, basic photo editing, and casual gaming.
Backlit keyboard lets you play day or night.
802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless connectivity for easy Internet access.
52.5Wh lithium-ion battery with a run time of up to 10 hours"
*PROBLEM:
This is/was a working computer used in an office which had internet access (wireless). I cannot get internet access. "Logged" into my network (router) with the correct password and it shows connected but, no net access. Have attempted multiple "fixes" I read on the net but, "NADA". It is not in airplane mode either. I have disabled the firewall and, I restored computer back to it's factory settings.Displays no ip address, etc.
While it "sux" not having an optical drive or typical cat 5 port, I am stuck with what I have...What am I doing incorrectly?...I had hoped to "split/partition "the hard drive and place Win 7 on it because Win 10 sux but, w/out net access, I won't waste my time...
Any assistance will be welcomed.
