What wireless card is in the lenovo?
What driver version is it using?

Really, the RBR350 has a different admin website (http://orbilogin.com)? These options cannot be changed via the app but use the admin website. Does it have an Advanced tab with Advanced...Wireless Settings options? Can you give us a screenshot?
