Dropping wireless connection when unplug AC adapter or hiber

[jordanjw23]

Hello-

I am having the same problem as all of you. When I start the computer and the AC is plugged in, I will get wireless. When I start the computer and it is not plugged in, I will also get wireless. When I plug the computer in after i started it it without AC adapter, i still get wireless. When i go into hibernate plugged in, and come out of it, I get wireless.

The problem seems when I go from AC plug to wireless while the computer is on, my wireless connection is lost completely. I see the icons, the thinkpad advantage is green still, but it cannot find any wireless networks

I disabled the antivirus before i went to hibernate or before i unplugged the AC adapter and for a few times, it seemed to fix the problem, but today i tried again and it did not fix it.

I just bought this computer 8 days ago, and cannot have a faulty wireless connection. Obviously im seeing many people on this site having the same problem

IBM was unable to help. I have all the updated drivers although i have not updated the bios

Please advise what your findings. I am going to swap out my laptop today
