Had to order an ethernet adapter because the wifi on my Lenovo IdeaCentre Stick 300 refuses to work. It's out of warranty so I can't get a replacement. Grrr.

Ya know, I've purchased three Lenovo IdeaCentre Sticks, and all three have developed this wifi issue. It just simply will not lock on. I can plug any one of them into the back of my TV less than two feet from my router and none of them will connect reliably. Every once in a while, I'll get a connection, but not regularly enough to​ use the things. Right now, all three are in a drawer. ☹️

Damn, that sucks worse than my situation, lol. The Lenovo community forums have plenty of people with the same problem. I tried updating the wifi drivers but that had zero affect.

Some gaming controllers

A sexy headphone cable. Balanced silver plated audio cable. Scientifically, silver, is the best conductor of electricity. Gonna give it a shot and hear how they sound.

Have you tried connecting wifi to a hotspot without a password/passcode/key? Does it even detect and see wifi networks in the area?

edit: if you can take it apart, maybe you can try reseating the wifi chip, AND also the wifi antenna cables.

It does find and connect to my network. The max it connects at is like 900k...k........k :(

Haven't tried going password-less, though.
