They just click in so it is very easy to swap them over. The wireless card looks like the picture above and should have two cables attached. So for all people with a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485WB-EG wireless card or even if it’s just your Lenovo G580 playing up, please take a look at the cables for the device by opening up the bottom of your case. However, when we opened up the bottom of the laptop I noticed that they were the other way, and it also has them labelled to be the other way… So I just went ahead and switched those bad boys over and hurrah! The WiFi was picking up as it normally should with finding all connections in the area with full signal. Every laptop I’ve ever had, the white cable has been the main cable and the black being the AUX. Here is your solution guys! If you’re having Lenovo G580 WiFi issues and your laptop comes with the Qualcomm Atheros WiFi card, it may be that the wires for the antenna aren’t connected properly. However, we did see so many other people complaining about the same issue. We thought that it could have been a driver issue so we took to the internet for a solution and guess what, we didn’t find one. Every time we moved away however, it would just disconnect. We moved the laptop right next to the router to see if it could find it and it did find it then. When we turned on the laptop for the first time, it booted up and the wireless card wasn’t picking up any network connections at all even though I could connect on my Windows Phone. So my girlfriend recently purchased a Lenovo G580 with Windows 8 pre-installed.
