I just bought and installed a TRENDnet TEW-813DRU wireless router. My desktop is wired into a LAN port, and I have a General Dynamics GD-6000 laptop,Wii console, Epson printer and 3 mobile phones as clients and they are all working flawlessly. I try to add my wife's Lenovo G580 laptop and it detects the router, and connects-- for about 1 minute. it then goes into "Limited" mode, and will not connect to the internet. The laptop has only 2.4 GHz connectivity to a Broadcomm network adapter and has Windows 8 x64. I watch the network connection settings, and it seems that after 1 minute the IPv4 (no IPv6) quits. Any suggestions? I already tried to update all drivers.
Forgot to mention: the Lenovo works perfectly when wired to a LAN port... problem only presents when wireless.
 
Try deleting the wireless adapter in device manager, then let windows install it again (just restart computer). Sometimes this works when nothing else does.
