wifi

Hello, I am having a really strange Wifi problem. I am not sure if it is caused by the the Wifi settings on my router or by the Surface Pro 7. The Surface suddenly stopped connecting to my home Wifi network. I tried resetting the router, restart the modem, disable/enable the network adapter...

Hi! I'm a professional wifi-installer and actually like my surface Go as sole device on the road in an armoured case. Mainly because my wifi-heatmap-survey-software (Netspot) is windows only. But I keep running into issues with the speeds. I already made a lot of wrong assumptions as it now...

Can anyone explain why these two computers, running side-by-side at the same time on the same wifi connection registered such different speeds? My Surface Pro 7: A Dell: It seems almost deliberate, but I can't find the cause. David

I'm at my parents' house, and my Surface Pro 3 in unable to detect any wi-fi networks. It never had this problem in my own home. And my other devices (phone, other laptops, etc) can detect a whole list of nearby networks, and connect to my parents' just fine. But for some reason, my SP3 can't...

My surface pro 6 is running 1803. The updates are all automatic. I am connected to a MS dock with Ethernet. I noticed that the WiFi icon was showing when I am connected to the dock and supposedly using the hard line. Trying to turn off WiFi in settings just gets a spinner for 15-30s and then...

Hello I've got a Surface Pro 3, i7, 256 GB, running windows 10 I've had it for about 3 - 4 years now and it has worked liked a charm, never caused me any major issues that I couldn't resolve, until now. The WiFi settings seemed to have disappeared. I've tried all the suggestions I could find...

I have had this issue for a number of years now. Every time I try to connect to the wifi network at my in-law's home, my Surface Pro 4 will say it Can't connect to this network. Eventually, after 10-60 minutes, It will randomly connect and be fine for a while, but often disconnects after an hour...

My home route is a D-Link DIR-890L. Since the beginning on acquiring the SP4, I noticed wireless speed to be rather slow, and later discovered that the onboard Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller connects to the router using 802.11n. I could only acquire 802.11ac connection if I...

Hello all, I'm trying to use the internet while using a USB desktop, but the internet just won't work. I'm not connected to Wifi, I'm using an ethernet cable. My surface book keyboard and touchpad also don't work while on this USB desktop, I had to plug in USB keyboard/mouse, so I'm guessing...

I have a surface pro 4 with m3-6Y30. SMBIOS is 3.1, bios is 107.1741.768 13/06/2017 currently I've had the system since around Jan 2017, but am finding that fairly often the network drops out. Currently my Marvell AVASTAR driver is Band=auto,coalesce-enabled, wake=enabled, wmm-ps=optimized...

Fasten your seatbelts; this has been a tricky one: I recently picked up a used OG Surface Pro a couple weeks ago and have been very impressed with it so far. I had no idea that this caliber of device could deliver so much performance. Unfortunately, my impression was short-lived, as I quickly...

Hi all, I was just wondering what is the max internet speed you have achieved using the surface book on wifi? I only ask as I have 350 meg broadband at home, but the max speed I can get through speedtest.com is ~230Mbps. Using a USB Lan adapter I get the full 350. Even my phone gets ~340Mbps.

One of the things that has been driving me crazy since I got my new Surface Book is that is does not switch automatically between wired and wifi and back. I connect wired to our network while at my desk to work on Business Intelligence programming and ERP, but when I need to take my laptop to a...

Hi all, Have you installed the Creator's Update yet? I am one of the lucky few who never had any of the common issues with the Surface Book, although it looks like my luck has now run out! Having just installed the Creator's Update, my wifi is now incredibly slow. (25kbps or so.) I did a full...

I need a new laptop now (current laptop 7 years old and very slow). I require a pen (I have never liked any trackpad of any company), 1Tb SSD, small form factor (13"), 2-in-1. The choices I am considering are the Surface Book with Performance Base, and the Thinkpad Yoga X1. The Yoga X1 is bit...

Apparently my chip died, working fine one day and dead the next. Done everything from deleting the device, rebooting, disabling fastboot, doing a reset of the PC, etc. Called MS, they said I'd done everything and I'd have to send it in, but my only option isn't for repair but rather to BUY A...

Ever since the last firmware update on my Surface 3, I've had problems where WiFi fails to start. This problem persists even if I reboot or cycle power. The fix at first was to roll back the driver and now I have to uninstall the device and allow it to reinstall. Any suggestions how I may get...

Good day everyone, I was wondering if someone could give me a hand this the issue I'm facing. After reseting my install of W8 on my tablet (in order to leave it to a friend), the network driver was not installed and an error 10 appeared on the device manager saying that the driver is not there...

OS: windows 8.1 Surface: Pro 2 43000u i5 256GB Windows update: installed when i boot the surface while docked in docking station...its stuck on the surface logo with spinning animation then after a few minutes, it BSOD. DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. if i boot the surface not docked, it boots just...

Hi everyone. I'm recently purchased a Surface Pro 3, been using it for weeks, it works perfectly fine. Today i was browsing via Edge using my friend wifi router. It works just as always, but suddenly the connection drop. (The wifi works fine though, another device connected to this wifi still...
