Can't Connect to this network
Hi, I have a new Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 (Windows 10) with a "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260" which I am unable to connect to my WNDR3400v2 router. Other existing devices like iOS are connected...

Have you tried a simple reset?Have you tried a reset to factory defaults.
You might mention which band 2.4 or 5g

Thanks for the reply.
When my iphone is set as a personal hotspot, I am able to connect successfully and have an internet connection. I have tried connecting to my neighbors wifi. Since I don't know the password, I am denied because of a bad password.
I am not exactly sure what you mean by wifi bit, so I am not sure about drivers.
I did update the driver on the wireless adapter.
Windows is up to date.

Are you saying that the Lenovo can connect with wifi through the iPhone?
If so, that is what I was trying to determine. Your first message gave no hint about the Lenovo's ability to do anything wifi.
The "wifi bit" was a reference to the wireless drivers on the Lenovo. You seem to have that sorted.
So it looks like there is an issue with the Lenovo and the WNDR3400v2.
Have you been through the troubleshooting steps (p 107) for wifi in the manual?
If the Lenovo supports WPS – the manual describes this on p36 – have you tried using that to connect the two devices?

It looks looks the Factory Reset did the trick.
Thanks Again
