Sorry, I have the 14 inch model with the 11th gen i7. That's the one with the signal strength problem. WiFiInfoview shows signal strength 30 dBm less than other laptops (even a Yoga 7i) in the same location. Something about the antennas and the back cover. No amount of driver juggling is going to fix that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have not had any problems with the wifi disconnecting with my Yoga 9i. I am using a high end router from FIOS and no extender. I am using my laptop in my den which is the furthest point from my router. My home is a single level.

Please try again later.If you are experiencing a weak WiFi signal with your Lenovo Yoga 9i-15, model number 82DE0009US, first be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer. Then update all BIOS files and drivers, including the drivers for WiFi communications, up to that latest version of Windows 10. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software available on this computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.
